Well, why not-it's good fun and training.

mr ben-yishai has hardly a single shred of actual fact to hang this story on, yet he goes on at great length about how it might have happened. granted, he has experience, but so far, very few people really know how it happened, what the mossad did, etc., and they aren't writing in the papers about it! the aspects which he failed to mention include: were these rockets intended "in payment" for iranian assistance in syria? (i.e. assad has no use for this type of weapon, so he's trading them to the mullahs.) if they weren't meant for hamas (political differences and logistical obstacles), or the salafists in sinai (ideological differences), where were they going? it would be ridiculous to ship them to hezbollah (except that israel has effectively closed the bekaa valley route), so where? at least one possibility is that they were just being moved to storage in sudan, because there are no useful targets that they could be used against, from iranian soil. another question that mr ben-yishai neglects to ask is why the obama administration felt the need to brag about its "readiness to participate" in israel's success. was this to steal netanyahu's thunder, or because their spin doctors felt that it was safe to take their heads out of the sand, now that the danger was past?

The amount you guys have to stretch to make your posts seem even a tiny iota plausible, is showing. Let me introduce you to split.

They know its destination. They don't have to prove it and give up their sources. If it was being shipped to Cuba they wouldn't have bothered.
37. #4 was you a pirate or a potential terrorist?

Surely and only the evil one love such law so no law can touch them. (end) God bless Israel

Oh, it's those good old preventative measures that must be taken ... ... or else we'll likely be given another major and painful lesson, which we most certainly can do without. In Summary: PREVENTION is best by far!
