Re #118

Israel already has well-trained snipers. But they are not extensively deployed. They are used to take out high priority terrorists. If they are deployed to take out any potential Pali terrorists or attackers premptively, many Palis will die fast. EU will cry foul. But under the circumstance, that is not such a bad idea. Israel should be waging an all-out war by now, but U.S. is holding Israel back. All-out sniping will do for now

Sniping is an offensive weapon, not a defensive one. You can't post snipers everwhere and shoot everybody, that is what clusterbombs are for. When the Palis use children and women pretending to be pregnant like the suicide bomber before last that got in using an ambulance who do you shoot? The Jews are trying to not kill civilians, the Arabs are. That is the entire hinge point on this conflict. The moment that the Jews make the decision that civilian casualties in the Arab ranks are necessary to stop this and worth doing, Palestine ceases to exist.

If Israel decides to blow its nose the EU will cry foul. Their opinion just doesn't matter to me anymore. I pity effeminate socialists.
