#1 Palestine-2 hypersonic missile

Launcher Unit
The Palestine-2 missile is launched from a mobile ground-based platform, providing significant mobility and operational flexibility. The launch platform is mounted on a heavy-duty truck designed to carry and launch the missile from concealed locations. This mobile system enhances survivability in a contested environment, allowing for rapid repositioning and reducing the risk of the launcher being targeted by counter-strikes. The launcher's design supports the quick deployment and firing of the missile, ensuring that it can be used in various terrain and under operational stress.

#2 And Trump thinks he can do a deal with these people. Great fucking job.
Saudis, Iran, why doesn't he just put on a swastika armband already?

#4 I voted Trump. I expected him to be on Israel's side. The side of democracy.
Instead, what does he do? Deals with the Saudis, Qatar, Iran, all the chief sponsors of Hamas.
Hamas are a genocidal terrorist group. Should we play the videos of Oct 7 again for you?

#5 He’s shaping the environment to be less hostile, and mostly trusting Bibi to take care of Israel’s concerns.

Contrast with the Biden-Harris administration/Obama III, which actively, eagerly shaped the environment to be considerably more hostile while claiming loudly to be Israel’s best friend.

#6 Palestine-Too

"It goes up! [fingers point]
"We concur!"
"Where it falls, only Allah--" [BANG]
"Grrr."
"And why not on yourselves?"
Yells a Pal as he delves.
"Better call it the Palestine-Deux."
