WOW really - egypt HUH - your agenda is so transparent now - the Egyptians don`t point GUNS at the UN and RED CROSS - thats ISrael
the Egyptians allow inspection of its nucalera reactors - the last time the IAEA tried to go near Dimona , a TANK stopped them.
so please stop making it out that the zionists are a shining beacon - they are most cetainly not.
and go read about the USS LIBERTY please.

That is a Merkava 4 MBT , that is the turret armour breached completely and was hit by a Russian RPG-7VR , in use by Hamas
Its also said Hezbollah also have the much more dangerous and feared RPG-29 the same round used in Iraq to mobility kill the Abrams M1A2 and the Challenger 2.
They also have the TBG-7V , 105mm Thermobaric load.
i know that its most gruesome - and in the 1991 Paris arishow the USA were trying to sell the Apache as `battle proven` even before GW1 was over , but after 2006 - Russia has been selling the RPG7 range and RPG-29 range as battle proven against the latest western armour.
And people have been buying them up - since even brand new they weigh in under $3,000 (and can be bought in the sand box for under $1k)

What needs to understood - and is being ignored apparantly by certain people that BOTH groups , hamas (and hezbollah) and israel are both guilty of what is happening to the civilians - hamas launching rockets and the IAF randomly attacking.
what needs to be remembered but apparantly isn`t is hat its people like you and me that are the ones to suffer - people liek zeroknowledge who lives near by in israel and can see it happening and has a rathe balanced view on the whole thing.

the Merkava 4 was deployed in 2004 into army service after it started developement in 1999 , to replace the 15 year old merkava 3 `Dor-Delat`, so im sorry but when you say it was developed after 2006 , your a bit wrong there.
also it oes not have `chobham` armour as that is only in use by the UK and an export version to the USA.
what upset IDF commanders is how many M-4`s were lost to russian ATGM`s and RPG`s - mobility and full kills , although granted not as many as the M-3 which got a serious mauling and ultimately was one reason which forced the IDF out of the war in 2006
and how, twice , the admiral of the CBG was ordered by first his commander then by the president NOT to assist the attack on a US warship by Israel - for over an hour , even when teh ship was identified by ISrael - they carried on.

Instead of looking at arms on both sides, it is time for a change.
How about there is no past
Everything starts new ,NOW.
Now, if Hamas attacks, they get punished.
Now, if Israel attacks, they get punished.
Both sides would be held up to the same rules.
NO, it was just a rocket-Nothing or punishment.
NO, we only went after a know Hamas terrorist-Nothing or punishment.
Either side would be punished the SECOND they break the peace-by any manner.
Sadly, I know this won't happen, but it is a real world solution for peace.
Once there is peace, both sides could enjoy the normal life that comes with peace.

Gee, what resolution gives Hamas the right to bomb civilian targets in Israel? When you start killing people, you start losing rights. By the way, blogs don't count as legitimate sources anyway. It is just another opinion piece filled with cherry picked data.

Oh, so now you admit that you did insult me.
You do a great job of distorting the facts and jumping to amazing conclusions with no proof to back them up, but all you express is opinion.
Where do I come to my conclusions about Mohammad?
Here is the result of a quick google search.
www.bibleprobe.com...
As you will see below, Muhammad posed as an apostle of God. Yet his life is filled with lustfulness (12 marriages and sex with a child, slaves and concubines), rapes, warfare, conquests, and unmerciful butcheries
