Emergency Military Aid Needed for Palestinians

Due to severe budgetary issues within the Palestinian Authority, some of the PA military forces have been forced to perform weapons training using...using only their bare hands.
The lack of enough weapons has forced the PA to train with the classic (but unconventional) index finger and thumb imaginary gun. Soldiers are therefore missing out on important training which involves actually holding a weapon.

You can't expect them to go out and defend Gaza while they shout, "bang bang"...




Wherever I am, my blog turns towards Eretz Yisrael

  14. I figured your not man enough to do it yourself. I know, take a water gun with you, it might bring out "the inner-settler" in you.

    ReplyDelete
  15. HH: Ooooooh. I'm SOOOOO hurt.

    The reason for Chardal coming along is that I DONT KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE.

    Water gun? No thanks...I'll bring..."the watch"

    My "inner settler" is quite calm, thanks.

  16. Don't bother, he does not know where I live either.

    I fear not the watch. Bring it on. Like I said, I bought the same one from the 99 cent store.

    ReplyDelete
  17. HH: Really? How odd...

    I was sure he knew where you lived.

    Oh well...we can meet somewhere neutral I guess.

  18. You are more than welcome in my good ol fashioned Los Angeles home. I will give you my address personally. Chardals too lazy to shlep to my home, so I have to shlep to him whenever we learn. Thats ok Chardal, the day of my vengeance is coming soon. :)

  19. HH: Cool...looking forward to it.

  21. jameel,
    I don't think it's because of lack of weapons - it's for their own good - they found out that the chnace of dying because of fingers accedently shooting off is about 50% less than with real guns. And as we know the Palestinians always think of Safty first - just look at todays toll (the fighting in the WB).

    Also I like the position - it makes it a lot easier to take out an entire squad of them when they all Bunch together.
