Thanks jhpigott.

Could be Turkish or Syrian, but probably Russian. There’s an amusing anecdote from one of the books (I forget which) on either the 1967 or 1973 war (I forget which, but I think it was the 1973) — the Russians on hand to “advise” the Egyptians (and the others who were flying out of Egypt, must have been 1973) were scornful of the abilities of the Arab pilots, who were getting shot down like crazy, and the IAF had to contend also with the SAM shield along the Canal. The Russians didn’t like to waste so many planes, so they went up instead, and got their asses handed to them by the very same IAF.

The Arabs had a good laugh at Russian expense during and after.

Screw with Israel on PAssover and you risk a Book of Joshua response.

How many IAI Gabriel IVs would it take to sink it?

Yeah, I've been thinking we're on an Isaiah 17 countdown for sometime now.

God bless and protect Israel and all who defend her. Get ‘em, Judah.

Ticker said Israeli warplanes scrambled, but then stood down, after foreign planes, no “warplanes”, approached Israel.

The risk is high that Israel’s enemies are emboldened and attack, thinking or knowing that Oblama will not have Israel’s back. Conversely, the risk is high that Israel thinks Oblama doesn’t have their back and is compelled to attack to thwart a real or imagined threat. Also, Israel while Oblama is POTUS, may need to nuke some neighbors just to make the point that they are not to be f’d with.

Whoever it is, I hope that Israel blows them the hell out of the sky for being so stupid in the first place. I also hope that 0bozo is not ordering U.S. planes to do this, in order to stage an international crisis against Israel.

I hate 0bozo more every day. Just when you think the bastard can't get any worse....he continues his downward plunge into total depravity.

The enemies of Israel always instigate their evil on Passover and other high Jewish holidays.

Hope it’s NOT one of ours.

That's funny, and not funny at the same time.

It is pretty clear that Obama hates Israel, because he hates the real God.

Photo ops like this are a joke.
