… this would be its rocket range [h/t: The Razor].

CLARIFICATION: The above map shows what percentage of US territory “Hamas in Mexico” could strike equal to the percentage of territory “Hamas in Gaza” can reach in Israel.

Map of HAMAS’ rocket-range into Israel

01/04/2009 11:33 pm

As an adjunct to the earlier map posted below, here is a translated map issued by Israel’s Homefront Command detailing the reach of Hamas’ rocket into Israel–and how long, in seconds, the innocent Jews that no one in Europe (surprise, surprise) seems to care about–have to seek shelter before a bomb lands on their heads.

If Hamas was in Mexico, bombing the USA, McCain, Bush, and the rest would surrender immediately.

If Hamas was bombing from just across the border, we would probably take their wounded and give them free healthcare treatment.

Sad but true.

We would give them Phoenix, to Las Cruses, to El Paso as the new Gaza.

What would the US do? To Mexico? NOTHING.

THE WAR NEXT DOOR

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2151549/posts

[snips]“How do you begin to understand that so many people are dying in Mexico? More than 5,000 casualties because of “narcotrafficking.” That’s more than all of the American troops that have died fighting an actual war in Iraq.”

One grisly new tactic is beheadings. A headless corpse hung above a busy highway almost two hours before police covered it with a sheet - the head found in a nearby park.

In Tijuana, nine men were decapitated last month, three of them policemen, their badges stuck in their mouths - some of the 40 murders in Tijuana occurred in just one weekend.

If Hamas was in Mexico, bombing the USA, thousands of Americans would grab their weapons, load up their trucks and head for the border...

...where they'd probably be arrested by Homeland Security.

Found at The Razor link:

We can go further. Israel’s population of 7.2 million is roughly 1/40 that of the United States. Multiplying the number of rocket and mortar casualties by 40 and the American equivalent is 12,000 dead and wounded. How much “restraint” could an American government be expected to exercise in such a scenario?

12,000? Yea Mexico would be toasty if percentages were extrapolated out.

More Americans die every year at the hands of illegal aliens (largely Mexican) than died on 9/ll. That hasn’t woken up the powers that be, has it?

There’s full scale war in Mexico, pouring over our border, but that doesn’t bother them either.

Your US map exaggerates the capability of Hamas rockets. Yuma, AZ is 311 miles from Las Vegas. Tel Aviv is 40 miles from Gaza City.

If Hamas was in Mexico, they couldn’t even hit Tucson.
