are they delusional?
they have 4 sling shots and a rocket launcher
Israel has the world's 4th best equipped military
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 664728 1) Yes, they ARE delusional. And very stupid. However, even delusional, stupid people can be VERY dangerous. And that's the case with al-Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah and other fanatical scum. That's the biggest misconcetion for people in the West: they under-estimate the sheer powr of Muslim Hate for the Jews (and to slightly lesser extent, all other infidels).
2) No, they DON'T only have "4 sling shots and a rocket launcher". Over the years, Hamas has received BILLIONS of dollars of aid & weaponry from both Shia Iran & Sunni Saudi Arabia/Qatar/UAE. That makes them a unique terror group -- they unite both Shia and Sunni in their Holy War against the "Ebbyl Juices",
3) At the time of Operation Amud Anan, Hamas had 100 Fajr-5 rockets and 1000 advanced anti-aircraft & anti-tank missiles. And they have essentially turned Gaza into world's largest chunk of SWISS CHEESE --- ie there is buners, tunnels, command posts, firing nooks, booby-traps, mines, IED literally in 10,000 of buildings & civilian inftrasdtructure. It's literally HELL on earth for any invading army, especially one that is so mindful about not harming Palestinian civilians like the IDF was.
4) Israel indeed IS pretty effin' strong for such a tiny, small-populated country. It barely used a few percent of its firepower in recent wars. But unfortunately, the so-called "World community" will NOT allow Israel to deal with Islamic terror with necessary brutality. Which of course only further emboldens Palestinian terrorists to target Jewish civilians.
But who knows, one of these days, IDF will say fuck it, and LIGHT Hamas and their boss Iran up real good, real quick-like.
They won't know what hit them. Literally :)
