Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire The Gaza Strip is a little smokey today.....

over the move of the US Embassy. I see the IDF is "taking care of business" too. But all those burning tires! I fear for our planet!

I'm sure they bought carbon offset credits before setting them alight.

As long as they found a home around a terrorist neck before they set them on fire, I'm good with the smoke.

Proof for piddler and Leroy that we need mo muzzies.

The Israelites should lob a few shells into muzzyland to celebrate.

They burn tires to create a smokescreen in an attempt to degrade Israeli sniper capability. A .22 to the belly of leaders tends to decrease fervor.

I think it was the Chinese who were using high power pellet rifles to encourage protesters to um, stop protesting.... A head shot could be fatal, a groin shot would make them just wish they were dead.

Why isn't the EPA over there imposing fines?

Israel definitely does not mess around. Can you imagine if we did that chit on our southern border?

It's a start......

Them Gazateers are a hard headed lot. Going to a gun fight with rocks......

Hehehe, fo sho bro.

Let's see, rocks and slings against IDF snipers.........a sure sign that "common sense" gun control is working over there.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Line up as many bulldozers as needed, blade to blade, and push that crap heap into the sea.

Don't bring rocks and burning tires to an artillery fight.

On the Intelligence Chart, the Palestinians don't rank much higher than the Negroes do. At least a ghetto rat usually knows that bullets are better than rocks.

I wonder what the kill ratio is since 1948? 100 muzzys to one Jewish citizen? 200 to one?? They don’t worry about hurting their feeling like we do!!

[Background: I lived in Israel after I graduated college in the US and served in the IDF at the end of the first Lebanon war and then during the first Intifada, around 1985-1988). My best friend in the IDF and I have remained close since then, he still lives in Israel and now has three boys, two of them military age. When I was visiting Israel last November I spent a lot of time with the young son in the military and he is in a special forces unit that specifically trains for urban combat in Gaza. The funny thing is that he was most interested in hearing about my hunting stories and really liked the stories about stalking big game across long distances. This is the Facebook post he made today and it basically sums up everything about the conflict. One side is sending kids into danger hoping for them to be killed, the other side sends their kids into danger hoping that they come home safe and can protect the country]

"For my Facebook friends that don’t live in Israel, I wanted to send you a short message.

I am not sure how much you hear about what is going on here, but if you are listening to the news lately, you may be getting a less than full idea of the situation on the ground.

There have been huge and violent demonstrations among the Arabic population in Gaza lately, on the border with Israel. The objectives of these incidents are simple: to subject the Israeli army and the surrounding area residents to as much injury and damage as possible. Boulders, Molotov cocktails, kites (yes kites) in flames are sent across the narrow border – all with the ability to kill. This in fact has been going on in an organized manner for many weeks, although intensifying this week in conjunction with the moving of the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

I have two sons doing their mandatory army service, and one of them is stationed exactly in this area. Every day my friends and I compare notes, discussing if our children were hurt or if they were forced to protect themselves. Thank goodness my sons are uninjured so far, besides the unknown effect of the traumatic conditions they are forced to endure.

Please keep my sons in mind when you hear these stories from far away.

We in Israel have absolutely no offensive objectives, trying to gain more land or whatever else. We simply wish to live in peace and security.

May this time come soon!"

this has nothing, of course, to do with the moving of the embassy. It's just another day, business as usual along the Gaza strip border with Israel.
