Seriously? Have you missed the recent events in Ukraine???
Take off the tin foil ... it's to prevent another passenger jet from being blown out of the sky.
I guess I missed the FDA’s ban on flights to Ukraine.
Wake up and smell the anti-Semitism eminating from the Obama administration. The stench is pretty strong.
Um, yeah, exactly.
As I said, the Israelis have their act together. So if a plane got blown out if the sky it wouldn’t be them doing it.
Hamas, on the other hand, could very well do it out of shear stupidity (like how they dropped all those power lines thst brought electricity to their own people in a rocket attack a few days back. That would seriously mess with Hamas’ public image.
And the worry probably isn’t Hamas blowing a plane outbof the sky (although they probably do have manpads that could be used on arriving and departing planes if they could get close enough), as it is them dropping a rocket onto one that’s sitting on the Ben-Gurion tarmac.
Blown out of the sky by what? A mortar? A Grad? Get a grip. If Hamas had SAMs they would have used them already to keep their commanders safe. They would have shot down IAF F16s.
No it's not. It's an appeal to the irrationality of the low-information types.
There is no evidence Hamas has the type of rockets that can be used to shoot down airplanes. If they did, they'd have used them against Israeli military aircraft by now. If they did have MANPADs, they'd have to infiltrate Israel to get close enough to Ben Gurion to use them. Even if they had the system the Ukrainian rebels used to shoot down MH17, flights coming from the north would be out of range from Gaza.
