GAZA, June 29 (Reuters) - A spokesman for gunmen in the Gaza Strip said they had fired a rocket tipped with a chemical warhead at Israel early on Thursday.

The Israeli army had no immediate comment on the claim by the spokesman from the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, an armed wing of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah movement.

Pine-Sol in a super soaker does not a chemical weapon make.

Here's what it says in the New King James:

"Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city,
And it will be a ruinous heap."
Isaiah 17:1 (NKJV)

To reply with nukes would be commiting suicide for the Israelis. The burst radius would cover part of their own country, remember that Gaza is very small, like putting a nuke in Central Park....and hoping that there isn't any damage outside of it....won't work.

Their lack of human conscience is exceded only by their dishonesty. I'll wait and see on this.

[Txsleuth]

What kind of idiots are these people??

Don't they realize that Israel CAN wipe them off the map...and the US will back Israel up??

[mystery-ak]

That was short...now back to Greta....damn it

[silentknight]

Yes and no. Israel supposedly has nukes that are extremely small and can be used on the battlefield.

"darn it have to listen to Greta"

Are her lips moving when she's speaking? She sometimes has a bad case of "clutch cargo":

[Btrp113Cav]

Lets just give peace a chance. Close to 60 years of diddlewiddling and the diplomats are getting real close. Just ask them. Time for a good ol hootenanny body slam on the paleosandnazis. BAM SLAm WHoosh boom.

Of course, chemicals to these guys might mean "Windex."

Greeks, or Palestinian, no difference.

[RDTF]

Damascus is Syria...

[Gordongekko909]

Heh. Naah. I just saw the movie.

[silentknight]

Right. EU says we need to give more time. They say we need to talk. Try to resolve these matters. :) I just want to hit my head on my desk...over and over.
