I read earlier today that the senior Hamas leadership live in Syria and that the Israelis "buzzed" the palace of the Syrian President in an effort to "persuade" Hamas into giving up their soldier.
Whether the buzzing was intended as a warning for the Syrians who might be complicit in harboring Hamas members or something else is another matter.
I have met a few Israelis over the past couple of years while learning Krav Maga, and they all have brass balls... I guess that comes from being surrounded on all sides by countries that want to eliminate you.
You could say the same thing about the Palestinians(only met one and he's as nice as they come) but the jews are vastly outnumbered in that region.
They also have a highly superior military, thanks to the ties with the US, which helps quite a bit.
Anyone see the pictures of the palestinian teens building sand piles in order to deter the israeli tanks?
And we worry about Mexican's...sheesh
