#10  My Strategic Response would be
"Back to the stone-age you fuckers.
No Qatar $, no power, no imports, no sewage treatment. Stew and seethe in your self-imposed shit hole and think about what you could have if you quit killing Jews as your life goals. Until then, you will be subterranean targets"

Hamas shot a Cornet missile at a moving bus and hit it 3.5 hours ago. Moments before, 50 IDF soldiers had gotten off the bus. The driver was entering a parking lot when the bus was hit.


Kornet is a Russian guided anti-tank missile.

#1  Hamas has been itching for an excuse to shoot off their rocket stash despite the psuedo-negotiations Egypt has been requiring lately. And Prime Minister Netanyahu did just say that real peace with Hamas is not possible...
