BREAKING: Rockets from Lebanon Hits Northern Isreal - Polidicks

[url]https://twitter.com/IsraelHatzolah[/url] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/x6PmXm4.jpg[/IMG] Some say 3-4 Rockets Where fired. Apparently no injuries / deaths. One out of 4 rockets where intercepted [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/0b6p8Ji.jpg[/IMG]

One out of four? Not a very good ratio!

i tend to steer clear of the israel conflict and all that stuff, but gosh darn their iron dome defense system is so cool

[QUOTE=Leestons;41927282]One out of four? Not a very good ratio![/QUOTE] It only intercepts rockets heading for civilian populations, if the other 3 were projected to land in non-occupied areas they are ignored.

I love how its breaking news that rockets were fired from Lebanon into Israel yet the Israeli infiltration of the Lebanese border last week, their constant infiltration of Lebanese airspace with drones and warplanes along with the car bomb that hit Beirut last week killing more than 20 people and injuring over 200 never got posted here. Sure smells of double standards to me. (car bomb has no official connection with Israel, just saying)

Doesn't Israel have one of those fancy Iron Dome rocket defense systems? [highlight](User was banned for this post ("didn't read the article" - Orkel))[/highlight]

[QUOTE=DrDevil;41927376]Doesn't Israel have one of those fancy Iron Dome rocket defense systems?[/QUOTE] no, clearly the OP is lying do you even read?

[QUOTE=SystemGS;41927287]i tend to steer clear of the israel conflict and all that stuff, but gosh darn their iron dome defense system is so cool[/QUOTE] It's expensive. Something like 1 interceptor missile is $50,000 while the rocket they are intercepting is like ~$800

[QUOTE=Leestons;41927282]One out of four? Not a very good ratio![/QUOTE] Given that they passed the Iron dome, that is phenomenal... Both the Israeli government and the US government will be very shitty.

rip in peace lebanon

[QUOTE=laserguided;41929148]Im sorry what does this post even say?[/QUOTE]Hold on, i'll get the best computers to translate it. [quote]Pass the iron dome was considered a natural phenomenon. Found the Government of Israel and the United States Government crap.[/quote] Nope, that didn't work in quite the direction I wanted it to.

Headline about Israel attacking someone: voted friendly Headline about Israel being attacked: voted winner your move

[QUOTE=Aman;41927773]It's expensive. Something like 1 interceptor missile is $50,000 while the rocket they are intercepting is like ~$800[/QUOTE] What do they care? The Americans pay for it.

[QUOTE=GiGaBiTe;41933190]What do they care? The Americans pay for it.[/QUOTE] Since you know israel doesn't have a thing called taxes

[QUOTE=DiCiSpitfire;41933243]Since you know israel dont have a thing called taxes[/QUOTE] Do you actually think that the taxes you Israelis pay can cover your country's military costs?

[QUOTE=Shreddinger;41933317]Do you actually think that the taxes you Israelis pay can cover your country's military costs?[/QUOTE] Well if you showed me a source for the revenue of the Israeli government and its military spending I'd be happy to see if this is the case.

[QUOTE=Shreddinger;41933317]Do you actually think that the taxes you Israelis pay can cover your country's military costs?[/QUOTE] No all countries have debt.

[QUOTE=Sobotnik;41933380]Well if you showed me a source for the revenue of the Israeli government and its military spending I'd be happy to see if this is the case.[/QUOTE] Israel's military 'spending' is funded by the us [url]http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/mideast/RL33222.pdf[/url] Over 10B in American taxpayer money, just for the Missile-defense projects.

I read that as Northern Ireland for some reason and got shit scared because I've booked to go to Belfast in September. Then I realised those missiles don't go that far :v:
