Hamas attacks Israel

Jesus.

Poking the eyes out of a corpse? I couldn't get too much farther.

Hard to fathom the environment that breeds that kind of hate.

When I see how fast and massive missiles and rockets can be fired, it makes me wonder what would happen if such an attack was against an aircraft carrier. Could the carrier group really pick off all the incoming?

[Mik]

Easily. Thats what the supporting warships are for.

[Jolly]

IF.

If you have the right weapons and enough of them. What Hamas has?

Likely not.

[kluurs]

Success against an aircraft carrier would be a bad idea from the get go as the retribution for a successful attack would be fugly.

[Mik]

The US Navy will not get close enough for Hamas to shoot at them without revealing Iranian weapons. I seriously doubt the mullahs would risk that.

[Copper]

Especially with 2 carriers there.

If you shot one of them, you don't want to see what the second will do.

[Mik]

Thats the big question, though. What could we do in that particular are they would fear?

Eradication

Yikes.

That’s in Persian. In English it says “Israel is blowing up all our weapons shipments and we can’t seem to keep any secrets about our movements”.

[Renauda]

Where’s that small violin I had?

They should be thankful it’s just arms shipments that the Israelis are blowing up.

Does anyone listen to Abbas?

[jon-nyc]

Hamas doesn’t but it’s good to hear him say it all the same.

Right, and yes.

I saw a report earlier that 60-80% of Gazans support Hamas, so you have to wonder about his relevance.
