why doesnt our gallant ex-general get drone-mounted-airguns to fire bird-pellets at underage arsonist kiters? actually most of their propoganda videos show men flying flaming baloons / kites
why isnt israel releasing more videos of ecological destruction with links to Green Prophet's excellent "The eco-disaster from Gaza that nobody's talking about"?
3. Israel is a big "hero" against 8 yr old REAL BRAVE kids

Anyone can pull the trigger of a gun
Does the fire burn less because the arsonist was young?
6. He forgot the child-soldiers of Africa??

You know, the ones armed with AK-47s who would go kill anyone they were told to.

It's not Israel's job to unbrainwash kids who have been turned into Hamas soldiers. It's Israel's job to defend its borders against all threats. Anyone attaching a firebomb or other kind of explosive device to a kite should expect to be targeted with lethal intent.

Mr. Galant, any one of these 8 year olds you speak about would gladly set your house on fire with your family inside it. Any one of them would take a rifle and shoot at you. Your consideration is misplaced.

It takes a few minutes to equip and set up a kite. In those minutes, an armed drone should be more than able to neutralize the person or persons doing it.

So please, stop feeling sorry for the 'kids' who have murder on their minds and do your job to protect Israel.

The UN sure is quiet about Hamas turning kids into soldiers....
7. Of course Gallant is correct

Having said that Haniya et al should be sent to heaven on the first available express train, courtesy IDF.

9. It's all right, but our leaders don't want to shoot ANYBODY!
