The Israeli military is reporting that they are in the process of studying the legal implications of legally defining kites and balloons as “weapons.” This would be done so that they would have a legal pretext for shooting people in the Gaza Strip preparing to fly either.
A series of incidents have occurred on the Israel-Gaza border where kites with incendiary devices attached were flown from Gaza over southern Israel. This was done to set fires, mostly to farmers’ fields, and has done substantial property damage.
Israeli officials have talked up killing those responsible. With the Israeli press claiming the Gazans are preparing a mass attack with “5,000 kite bombs” later this week, politicians are urging the military to act.
Israeli DM Avigdor Lieberman says it is “impossible to seal the sky,” but Israel is working on improved drones for knocking kites out of the sky. Shooting people on suspicion of being about to fly a kite would be a major escalation, and depends heavily on legality.
Arsonists should be shot.
MAGA, no dual citizenship!!!
what are you talking about?
In many states in the US,Peace/Police officers are empowered to use deadly force to stop arsonists. The people in Gaza destroyed greenhouses that were turned over to them by the Israelis-they destroy burn other peoples fields,, only building rockets and tunnels to kill others.
Yes, lets make America great again-send the BDS, pseudo progressives, neo nazis, Jew Baiters, and fellow travelers to Gitmo
I assume this is some kind of sick joke. This is an anti-war site.
The best way to stop a war is to accept that there IS a war, and work out deals where everyone is a bit better off.Keep your comments about “chosen” to yourself
Jake,
It should be obvious to everyone that there is ZERO love between the Israelis and Palestinians – there is no basis for a unified Greater Israel, or a domination of Palestine by Israel. The initial separation between the two races (Yes -races) should be implemented – establish an independent Palestine – totally free of Israel, the IDF, or “settlers”. Settlers or squatters on Palestinian land should have to renounce all ties to Israel and pledge allegiance to Palestine if they wish to remain in Palestine
I agree, but both sides want it all, and many Palestinians once empowered will take the next step-drive the Jews into the sea.
The joke is your own. You never answer other peoples statements with anything substantiative-only saying:ridiculous” when you have no logical answer.. You pass comments about “chosen people” and “YOUR media”,assuming that I am Jewish and repeating the canard that Jews control the media.
jake,
Re – the “greenhouses” that were left by Israelis (when they left Gaza) – the Palestinians initially tried to raise flowers for the international trade as the Israelis did, but the Israelis cruelty refused to allow them to be flown out of Israeli airports. The Israelis are inhuman bastards; they laughed at the Palestinians’ plight.
Ff you want to speak of cruelty, speak of Hamas holding a mentally ill man hostage for years, speak of shooting rockets at civilian settlements, speak of Hamas leaders hiding in bunkers while they send children out to be used as cannon fodder to win a propaganda victory, speak of Hamas talk of crossing borders to” cut hearts out”. There is plenty of inhumanity to go around.
The Palestinians looted the greenhouses that Israel left behind for them. The reason Israel blocked them from exporting produce from Gaza is because they staged terrorist attacks at the crossings meant to be used for trade. As usual, the Palestinians shoot themselves in the foot, and blame Israel.
Shoot them. Have your drones shoot them. What is Israel waiting for??
