Joe does not approve. I doubt Bibi cares. It could be just a show too. "Oh, I opposed that strike" wink wink.

Lots of fun detail, worth a read if you can get around the paywall.

I wonder what the cost of manufacturing, marketing, and distributing those pagers and walkie-talkies were vs how much Israel was actually paid by Hamas…

I mean, if Israel actually made money out of the deal, I might just have to emigrate…

On that metric they probably made a profit but if you factor in planning and engineering (ie, all the Mossad time) they definitely did not, though that’s hardly relevant. This was a national security operation not a business pursuit.
The whole reason we call them illegal aliens is because they’re subject to our laws.

There's no way no one over there saw the potential irony, though. I mean just for starters you have terrorists paying to get taken out.

The planning and engineering is a wash as those employees doing the planning and engineering would still have been paid sitting on their asses saying “drone strike”
Dear god, I think I might need to move to Israel.

Sorry for my ignorance, but is Israel like northern Europe where most people are pretty good in English even though it is not their native language?

Not even close. More like Italy or France.

thanks. I think it would be an interesting place to visit for history. I am good at making hand gestures to get my point across so not too worried about language. LOL
