By the way, I don't know the name, but HAMAS now has some larger, longer range rockets from Iran - not the Kassam - something newer.

IDF is VERY concerned that they will be used to target Israel's one nuclear reactor...

Once Hamas starts doing that - I think the Israeli gloves come off BIG TIME - as they should...

They will NOT tolerate a devastating attack on a nuclear facility - their country is so small - it could be largely contaminated...
I believe it is this rocket:

An BM-21 clone, called the Nasser 4, with a range of up to 20 kilometers. Costing only $400 to build, materials for the Nasser 4 rockets are smuggled in via the many tunnels between Gaza and Egypt.

Despite Gaza truce, Palestinian militants still building rockets - CNN.com

BTW, I don't consider the slaughter of civilians with weapons the Palestinians can only dream of, a war. After all, they don't have a sugar daddy called the US.
Sure they have sugar daddies, they just call them Iran and Syria?

Isn't that just lovely? parents dressing up their children/juveniles in war protest garb? doesn't anyone out here think this is irresponsible behavior of the parents of these rugrats? sometimes mommy & daddy are ignorant.
Israeli genocide? I doubt that. not a complete race of people have been totally wiped off the map. if you're calling 500 dead genocide, then it would also apply to hamaas and palestinians too, like homicide bombers, but, that is supposed to be ok? hamaas/palestinian sympathiser are we?

You're equating help from Iran and Syria with US aid to Israel?.On many levels, they're not even in the same ballpark and I think you know it.

In 2007, the United States increased its military aid to Israel by over 25% to an average of $3 billion per year

I have asked on two other threads whether you are as upset by the fact that Israelis were attacked and killed by Hamas, and you refuse to answer. So I guess this means that it's okay, in your view, to kill Israelis.

Israel wishes to treat the Palestinians as the Nazis treated the Warsaw ghetto.
To equate Israel with Hitler's Nazi Germany is anti-semitic.
