the Israelis have fired up the catapults on their northern border

( slinging burning projectiles to back burn brush supposedly ;-)

guillotine and catapults may be retro, but at least they dont have to rely on two faced phony allies for resupply. .

Trebuchets, my friend. Catapults are so…ancient Roman. Not in fashion at all. Besides, trebuchets are much more fun - have you ever seen a catapult fling a piano, a small car or the bloated bodies of those who died from the plague?

I saw that the Israelis were using catapults to burn brush. Very clever of them. Saves from having to send vehicles equipped with flame throwers, or people, putting them in harm's way in order to do the job.
