[quote] GAZA, Sept. 11 (Xinhua) -- Israel's F16 warplanes raided on Friday night an open area in the northern Gaza Strip which caused no damages or injuries, witnesses and paramedics said. Israel's airstrike came hours after militants in Gaza fired a homemade rocket from the northern Gaza Strip into southern Israel, which caused no damages or injuries, Israel Radio said. Meanwhile, the regular protests against Israel's West Bank wall turned into clashes between protesters and Israeli soldiers. A Palestinian was injured and dozens inhaled tear gas during the clashes in the West Bank, medical sources in Ramallah said. The weekly protests took place in the village of Bel'ein, west of Ramallah, where around 150 residents backed by international solidarity movements' activists joined the demonstration. They chanted slogans against the separation wall that Israel builds in the West Bank and then clashes with the Israeli army forces, who fired rubber bullets and tear gas canisters to disperse the protestors. Israel said that it built the wall to prevent Palestinian infiltrators from entering Israel to carry out attacks against the Israelis, while the Palestinians said that the wall had been built on the properties of the Palestinians in the West Bank.

Hell, even in Belgium here, we can't afford the money to keep our whopping 2 F16's up in the middle-east. The other 2 crashed and burned while trying to take off here. Not to mention the C-130 that somehow managed to drive into a ditch while taking off. And yet somehow Isreal manages to keep those things bombing that strip whenever the hell they want to.

[QUOTE=smartdog;24750291]What, that 1% of Israel's GDP?[/QUOTE] Their military expenditure is about $14b and USAID is about $2.6b. Even if they spend all of it on their military, they still have to field $12b themselves.
imagine yourself living in Uk while France sends tiny rockets that makes explosions across your city... Imagine yourself scared to death of leaving your house just because of exploding terrorists. I know it sounds NOT Logical, BUT its the situation in Israel, Eliminating terrorists by F16 sounds very reasonable, you guys can't show me example that shows otherwise.
Wait, they wasted fuel, munitions, and money just to bomb an open field, which caused no deaths or injuries to the assailants? I guess it's better than civilian collateral damage, but fucking wow, fiscal misappropriation much?

As you can see, this was on the gaza strip (as always). People in Israel can go out of their houses without having any fear of 'exploding terrorists'. You should stop thinking that Israel is a full of terrorists everywhere that will kill you on sight.

From what I hear, attacks from Gaza are infrequent at best.
Next thing you know they'll be going after people like this :smithicide:

Israel is surrounded by relatively recent, and current, enemies. They train their pilots to ridiculous levels and work hard to keep all of their aircraft in working order. Their presence as a deterrent is one of the reasons they are still around.

It can't afford to let its guard down.

Conspiracy why do you think the attacks have gone down? Idiot. [editline]12:14PM[/editline] Some people fail at putting two and two together.
