Your point is that Hamas has/had thousands of missiles in Gaza, supposedly a "prison"?
Althea
Althea told me...
Of course they do. Don't you watch the news?
My point is that smuggling parts is easier than getting deliveries of missles, especially when Israel has surveillance throughout Gaza.

Reports that HAMAS for sure has anti-armour weapons from NK are certainly interesting.

I'm reading that they have a lot of antiquated Russian weapons that were left behind years ago. I'm sure they used anything they could find to create weapons for their terrorist plot. Ironically, they're repurposing materials from IDF attacks over the years.
I'm sure the tunnels have provided means for smuggling from a number of sources.

Yes, just not MSNBC.
That's a lot of parts. Thousands of Fajr 3 and 5s are a lot of missiles. They aren't bottle rockets like Grokmaster was alledging.

No question they have some high tech weaponry that was smuggled in. Evidently in construction equipment via the ports.Yes, just not MSNBC.

A lot is just primitive weaponry that they've spent years crafting from junk. A lot of it from Israeli attacks.
Do we even know if they are able to hit targets, or did they just fire hundreds/thousands of missiles as a distraction to breach the borders?
I find it amusing that so many believe that the U.S is the only nation that should arm its allies.
You really don't understand why Iran hates us?

America is rapidly becoming an easy target for nations that we used to thumb our noses at.

You're more like a Trumper every day, Althea, albeit the flip side of the coin.
Your support for the Palestinians is noted.
Why do you think Iran hates us? Why do you tacitly support that hatred?

It's not the weekend yet. Stupid Doc is early.
If you don't know why Iran hates us, you aren't ready for this discussion.

You can't answer the question, eh? Interesting.
Fine. You've already proved you have pro-Islamic and antisemitic tendencies along with the stand LW anti-Americanism. Be honest, you hate the US military too, don'tcha? Fuck the Police and all that?

Eisenhower deposed Mosaddegh because of his closeness to the Soviets. It was a real danger considering that he got far too close to the Tudeh party aka the Communist party of Iran as well. This was just after WW2 and oil was king, the West was terrified that the Soviets would take over the Persian oilfields and shut them out.

LOL. You're the trumper if you support Israel without recognizing that they aren't innocent either. By your stupid Doc logic, Bernie Sanders is an anti semite. Do you realize how ignorant you look when stupid Doc enters the discussion? Best if you just take a breath, and remain calm. Now why would Iran hate us for 70 years? It can't be that hard for you to hit your Google button.
I asked you once, and you never answered.
What year was your bar mitzvah?

Wait for them to step outside of Iran and put a drone on them? Good plan!

No, but thanks for your leaps of logic. That is, indeed, Trumperish. LOL
Now you sound just like them. They hate me too.
Multiple reasons but mainly because we support the West, Israel and stand against Islamic radicals seeking to reestablish a global Caliphate. Both Robert Baer and Fareed Zakaria have explained it in articles and books. Your turn.
I'm not Jewish. What is your religion? Militant atheism?

Althea told me...
Your lack of insight into the history of U.S/Iran policy is noted. Study up and come back when you learn how to read the threads. You've already been given the answer.
Why would you support the murder of innocent Iranians, when it's the religious zealots who lead the nation that attack us? Most Iranians hate the conditions they live under, and yearn to be more like the West. Yet you attack anyone who realizes their plight.
You would destroy all of them. Like innocent Palestinians. You've got a trump worldview, including your insistence on projection when stupid Doc shows up. I'm waiting for stupid memes next.
Ahhh. Another gentile who thinks he knows something about Jews. Isn't that quaint?
If stupid Doc wasn't so blinded by rage, you would realize that I've told you more than once what my family's religion is.
With the weekend coming up, maybe I'll wait for Monday to see if stupid Doc is gone.
