1. Explosives which they use to fill the heads of the Qassam rockets.
2. Explosives which they use to made bombs in suicide bombings etc.
3. Small arms i.e. asssault rifles, hand grenades etc.

When Israel withdrew from Gaza, she left all the agricultural & industrial infrastructure intact, deliberately, so the Palestinians could use them to find a better way. The state of the art industrial greenhouses that the settlers built employed thousands of Palestinians & exported produce all over the world.

The greenhouses before Israel left:

And also from the sea:

In January 2002, the IDF intercepted the Palestinian Karine A vessel in the Red Sea. The Karine A was loaded with approximately 50 tons of weapons, including:

Dragunov sniper rifles
PK machine guns
AK-47 (Kalashnikov) assault rifles
Small arms 7.62 mm rounds
Cartridges for Kalashnikov, Dragunov and PK machine guns

In May 2001, Israeli Navy patrol boats detained a 40 ton ship (the Santorini) off the western coast of Israel. The ship sailed from Lebanon under the patronage of the PFLP-GC with a cargo destined for Palestinian elements in the Gaza Strip. It should be noted that the ship had previously carried out at least two smuggling attempts on behalf of the Lebanese Hizballah terrorist organization.

Weapons found on board the ship included:

Hand grenades
Hungarian Kalashnikov assault rifles
Magazines for Kalashnikovs
7.62 mm rounds for Kalashnikovs

How about this: Israel has a multitude of weapons; the Palestinians basically have none. Lets level the playing field. Let's give those in Gaza, (wont even mention the West Bank), equal weapons to Israel. Let's give them fighter jets, tanks, well trained troops....nukes....food and nightly rest, just as the IDF has. Then let them fight it out. Bet the Palestinians would make a good show. What do you think, hiccup...........ooops, I'm sorry, I meant Jacob. My money would be on the Palestinians. You all have had 60 years to run them out and they ain't ran. Tells me and you all we need to know. Doesn't it?

It tells me that Israel has more compassion and tolerance for their fellow man.
If those terrorists were given all that you propose, they would still hide behind their own children as they sought to wipe out the Israelis.

Your support of terrorism never fails to astound me.

terrorism...

tell me vader, why do you think some palestinians are "terrorists"...

and tell me whether you think israel commit acts of "terror"

hmm May I answer?

Hamas blows up a bus, Israel blows up a hamas house...
Seems fair to me...

Hamas launches rockets into Israel, Israel blows up the launch site.
Seems fair to me...

Why do you allow it to happen?
Why do you allow the hamas to live/hide and wage war against Israel knowing damn well those people will die?
People who didn’t launch a damn thing, hell maybe people who want peace?
 
Cherokee, tell me why have you have chosen the name of a Native american tribe as your screenname. And, why this particular one? Why not Catawba or Kickapoo for example.

I know this has no relevance to the current topic, but i am just curious.
 
It's because, he is one.

I think they are terrorists because their religon tells them to be.

The Israelis have retaliated against Palestine for UNPROVOKED acts of violence. There was death on both sides; however, there wouldn't have been if the Palestinians were not committing acts of terrorism.

The simple truth is this: Palestine (a nation that has no history) is run by a terrorist government called HAMAS. Palestine picks fights with Israel and then whines like a bunch of bitches when Isreal responds.

P.S. The land Israel sits on BELONGS TO THE JEWS ... get used to it and stop being a terrorist supporter.

because its what I am.


Back to the topic Jhé I want you to read this post.

Its not that you don’t have a right to live in a Democracy, its that you elected a terrorist group that never has nor ever will live in peace.

When the people of Palestine stand up and put an end to teaching kids how great it is to be a martyr, stop allowing yourselves to be the “poster boy” for the Arab world and stop allowing the Arab world to dictate how you live i.e. the violence towards Israel.
You will find peace and furthermore the world will stand behind you.

Until then your on your own…

When I say the entire world I also mean me. If you did all of this and Israel attacked you You can bet your a$$ the world would rally around you.
