Livni Wants IDF Response To Every Rocket

Nice! My best friend is dating an Israeli chick who served in the Army. She looks a lot like the girl in the top picture, but with curly hair. Girl’s freaking crazy, but in a good way. Check your freepmail in two minutes.

So where’s Livni been for the past 8000 rockets?

Where has the State Department, the US media and the UN been?

At least she is saying something!

That's much more than the vast majority of our leaders. Including the Bush Administration.

You know, I wonder if this is one of the fundamental issues of why Muslims hate Israelis.

Or if it's why Muslim men treat all women like they do.

All those hot women constantly rejecting them, instead going for the smarter, better smelling Christian men.(only partly joking)

Thank you. It's sort of a corollary to "Land for Peace".

Only mine actually makes sense.

Has to pretend to defend Israel until she gets elected.

Actually, that's one of the few Israeli assets that spread goodwill among the rest of the Middle East. Most men calm down for a bit when seeing a beautiful Israeli girl.

Actually, I disagree. The best response is not waiting for the IDF to respond. The best, the fastest response is a *local* response.

For example, look at the city of Sderot, a frequent target of rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip. Instead of them waiting for the IDF to show up, what if they instead bought themselves a 105mm Howitzer, and plenty ammo, and gave a tit-for-tat response for every rocket fired at them?

Importantly, this wouldn’t be called “counter battery fire”, even though that is what it was. Instead, they could play the cynical game the international community plays and say that they are just “trying to shoot down the incoming rockets”.

I know that this is both cynical and sarcastic, but it has a good reason. International law permits self defense, and generally holds blameless those “defending” themselves against enemy weapons. This avoids the hand wringing that they are targeting civilians from where the rockets are launched.

It turns any Palestinians hit by the counter battery fire from “victims” to “unfortunate accidents”, for which the citizens of Sderot and Israel is blameless.

And since the international community itself is utterly cynical and hypocritical, this turns their forked tongues back on themselves.

Plus, if the citizens of Sderot erect a 100 or so foot tall observation tower, they can respond so quickly with a 105mm howitzer as to make the rocketeers teeth rattle at best.

So why wait? Act now. Don’t wait for the IDF to do so.

Last time they tried shooting their own rocket into Gaza, the Israeli police rushed to the scene to stop them. Nice priorities Jews have.
