Can't say I saw the movie, but it seems a fair comparison.

Go Bibi!

A not-unreasonable comparison.

Hope it doesn't come down to nukein' 'em from orbit.

[tet68]

I say we stand off and nuke them from orbit.
It's the only way to be sure!

I saw the movie. It is.

[corkoman]

Most excellent comparison.

[Porterville]

I love the process of dehumanization of the enemy... It makes them easier to destroy.

The alien had fresher breath.

Unfortunately, the alien's host does not survive the experience.

[bobdsmith]

alien ferocious bodies that plant themselves in a host and lurch out, burst through the chest, and attack the person next to the host and in doing so, kills the host

Uh no. The juvenile that bursts from the chest certainly does not attack the person next to the host. It's very vulnerable at that stage and like any creature it's instinct is saftey. If it is outside the nest then it will try to hide.

Bibi compares bad guys to the movie Alien! AWESOME!

You've never seen Alien? Go out and rent it now --preferably in widescreen. Watch it late at night with the lights turned out --preferably alone.

The film is 27 years old and still stands up as one of the most terrifying movies ever made.

ONly a leader who hasn't had military experience would use a movie like Alien as a reference point in war propaganda.

Now, I'm not against Netanyahu, but there are problems inherent in using *fiction* as such to influence real world decisions. Not only does this perform it's intended effect of slightly dehumanizing Hezzies, it also dehumanizes the Israeli military personnel on the ground fighting them.

This type of article is one of the truly on the mark criticisms of Bibi's personality and leadership abilities.

On that, I'd have used Tribbles, the furry little bastards that are relatively harmless cute bundles of unshaven hair, except for their prolific reproduction.

yep.. Aliens. and the Israelis are the Marines landing and kicking ass.

[hosepipe]

Bibi is a genius... thats whats needed...
Something to relate this bizaar muslim story to..
Islam hides like its not a strange parasitic rite..
An unearthly hive of alien creatures.. appearing normal until a "stage" is reached.

[King Prout]

it grants the jihadis too much dignity and design elegance, but otherwise it is a good comparison.

"Can't say I saw the movie"

All the Alien movies are good. #1 "Alien" #2 "Aliens" are the best. #3 "Alien3" was good but along a different line. #4 "Alien Resurrection" was a mishmash and #5 "AVP" was okay in it's own way.

Get Alien and Aliens and you will probably watch them over and over. Never gets tiring. Oh and only get the directors cut versions of 1,2,3. --The directors cut of #2 "Aliens" is a completely different movie than the first release. Lot's of things are made more understandable by the directors cut.
