The US gives modern weapons to the Ukranians, and embargoes the Israelis. Ukrainians lose, Israelis win with trebuchets.

Another report said that the Israelis on that sector started this because they were bored. They also built Molotov-cocktail mortars, and shot flaming arrows. Boys will be boys. I'm sure they also know how to make redneck napalm. (No, I'm not going to post the formula! Don't ask.)

hey, that’s NEATO!

thanks for sharing that 26 second video

I will now order one from Amazon. It looks like the perfect way to quiet down a noisy or threatening neighbor, ha!

/s
and if the Fakestinian terrorists attack Israel again, maybe the IDF might just get tired of them and use any of several other, more advanced weapons to flush the Hezballah swamp clean once and for all? sure hope so!

That is what I think, they are having fun, staying active, staying loose, testing something new and and the trebuchet is getting them a lot of positive international publicity.

Napalm would work better.

Ni< (No, I'm not going to post the formula! Don't ask.)

I thought everyone who lived through the 60s knew how to make napalm and chlorine gas. I think I remember Phosgene as well. I used to think the problem with ANFO was the detonator, but I figured that one out a few years ago - plentiful and easy to find almost everywhere.

And the press wanted everyone to believe that Diana Oughton was careless, but she was just the involuntary loser in a love triangle.

Well, yeah. It was in the Anarchists Cookbook, which we all read. No doubt being downloaded by a whole new generation.
