31. two Egyptian false full-scale attack were enough to preempt
observer   (10.06.10)
For training, Egypt made a decoy similar to Bar Leve sand wall except it was few meters higher. In the preceding few weeks, the Israelis saw clearly three preparations for full scale attacks, but arrogance prevented them from taking any measure. Even when the Jordanian king and Egyptian trusted Ashraf Marawan informed them of the eminent true aggression, they only ordered partial recall of reservists. They knew that preemptive strike would not have been effective and would have costed them dearly. The impermeable antiaircraft missile system and ground fortification aircraft lodgers would do the rest. Preempting would have been a catastrophe for Israel.

33. G. Meir: unfit to be Prime Minister
Steve   (10.06.10)
Like PM Golda Meir, it looks as though PM Netanayhu is waiting for Iran to attack Israel first - fearing what Barack Hussein Obama might think or say if Israel were to preemptively attack Iran's nascent nuclear sites - even though Iran is breathing threats of genocide against Israel's Jews. Instead of the several thousands lost in the early days of the botched Yom Kippur war, this time it could be tens, many hundreds of thousands. What happened to the ancient Jewish proverb, "If someone is coming to kill you, kill him first." (?)

38. #37 Metallica Creeping Death
observer   (10.07.10)
The Creeping Death is the 10th plague which bestowed upon the Egyptians - the Angel of Death. In the movie his presence has been represented by a green cloud, but actual in the jewish tales you can not see his arrival. He was sent by God to kill every first born child. The Jews knew how to save their first born sons, because Moses told them that they just have to put lambs blood on their doors for keeping the angel of death from stopping at those houses to kill the first born man. However the Egyptians didn't knew of that protective measure. We, Muslims, deserve Moses more than anyone else as we put Moses in high esteem. They crowned Moses, God forbids, as the king of fraudulence. kosher Fargello!

Vardina   (10.11.10)
opposite: we were punished for not attacking first: our God helps us only when we help ourselves, as the final results have proven.
