JERUSALEM - Israeli defense officials say the military has deployed remote-control machine guns along its border with the Gaza Strip.

The system allows female soldiers watching television screens in control rooms in the rear to spot targets and open fire. In the past, lookouts had to call in ground forces to intercept militants.

Good idea for our borders, if we had an American president.

Israel was hit with 20 missiles from Gaza right after our press called the election for the Muslim Marxist Messiah (MMM).

Can we blame Israel for arming itself? Heck, Americans are arming themselves!

My nephew calls these the “Gilad Shalit” memorial no-conscript-falling-asleep-at-your-post remote control machine guns.

(Nep. is in the IDF; injured at the stupid gasoline depot, but better and will soon return to full service.)

You side with the Palestinians, right?

“but again i´m no “fan” of israel.”

Why?

[Joe Boucher]

We have affirmative action.

Remote controls? No need for direct remote control.

Just fill the extended magazines full of armor penetrating rounds and set them to fire on motion within a defined range. Overlap the fields of fire in case one gets disabled and leave it be.

Call it “a minefield with replay ability”...

How ironic because if it weren't for a certain Austrian there probably wouldn't have been the urgent need for an Israel after the second World War..

i´m aware that hitler was an austrian.

Did someone mention Hitler? I didn't. But interesting that you thought this bit to be relevant...

i would never side with israel (the country) that´s true. i don´t like the state of israel.

Particular reason, or can we draw our own conclusions on European attitudes towards Jews?

I am mildly amused at how easily supposed American "cliches" of European anti-semi... cough anti-Zionism are confirmed. I remember you to be also a Haider fan... figures.

Interesting that you failed to note any reasons for your dislike of Israel. Is it just sort of a European thing that needs no explanation?

Ja, zee Jooos. Is always the problem wiz zee Jooos.
