Rocket Launchers

[planosteve]

We are told that Israel to protect itself from rockets being fired from Gaza, is forced to destroy homes, businesses, mosques, and even hospitals. These rocket launchers are said to be placed in these locations where they wouldn't be as likely to be destroyed. But, in all of the videos I have seen of homes, businesses, mosques, and hospitals blown to bits by air strikes, I have yet to see a single destroyed rocket launcher. Why is that?

Because they are small, portable, and easy to move ?

Maybe the Palestinians removed them from the rubble . . .

Who cares..wars are won by killing civilians.

That's kind of my point. Then wouldn't you move them after you fired a rocket knowing that you had given away their position?

Viet Nam won a war without killing any civilians. Hitler killed a lot of civilians and lost.

Many of then are just storage facilities for the rockets.

The tunnels are a big part of this operation as well.

But the problem..is..surprise, surprise..not the guns/weapons.

The problem is..a culture of death, terrorism and anti Semitism.

Viet Nam won a war without killing any civilians. Hitler killed a lot of civilians and lost.

The North Vietnamese won by default because we abandoned the battlefield.

..and Hitler could have won by killing civilians in the countries that were at war with him..he didn't do that..he had no way to do that across oceans ans seas.

..and killing civilians does not guarantee a victory..but it is the pathway to break the enemies back..like in Dresden and Nagasaki.

[GFB]

Simply obsessing about tunnels and rocket launchers gets Israel nowhere..it just slows the enemy down temporarily.

The war must be won..once and for all.

Since Israel does intend to do that..your great grand children will still be discussing this in 50 years.

All wars are won the same way. When one side quits fighting.

Hitler killed a fair amount of English with rockets attacks.

..and killing civilians does not guarantee a victory..but it is the pathway to break the enemies back..like in Dresden and Nagasaki.

I don't know about Dresden, but the Japanese were practically begging to surrender before we dropped the nukes on them.

Yes, but in most cases, that happens when enough civilians are killed. In this case, it will mean most of them.

Not enough, had he killed many more, England would have surrendered.

..and killing civilians does not guarantee a victory..but it is the pathway to break the enemies back..like in Dresden and Nagasaki.

Not true, the second Atom bomb was a necessity..the destruction in Hiroshima didn't seem to impress much.

[planosteve]

Japan’s decision to surrender probably had much less to do with the effect of nuclear weapons, than with Stalin’s decision to invade.

The VC and NVA killed a crap load of civilians.

Why is a "UN" school storing Missiles ?

Why would anyone believe that they were without any proof? In war truth is always the first casualty,

[Red Oak]

That hot bed of Israeli Hate, the UN believed the story.

If the Massad took down the Trade Center Buildings with a Mini-Nuke why are they fiddle farting around with the Pallies in Gaza ? Did they run out of Nukes ?

Good answer Red Oak.

Bad PR. The Trade Center was a Twofer. It was filled with asphestos. Removing it would have been almost as expensive as what it cost to build it. So, they got the lease, insured it up the wazoo, nuked it, and got the full amount of the insurance on each of the two towers claiming they were separate incidents. Made several billion dollars.

According to your info this was your 555th post. Being as nutty as you seem to be, the 666th should be a doozy!
