Israelis On Wheels!

So for now there's the Pals laying the bodies out and howling proudly, and there's the IDF hunkered down in their Merkavas crunching up cars but not really with the guts to crunch whole populations, whole towns. And if they don't do that, they lose. Killing two or three a day won't do it. That's less than a thousand a year -- pathetic! The Merkava is a way to protect Israeli soldiers more than it's a way to kill Palestinians. See, in that way it's a defensive weapon. Whereas an AK-47, with a Pal standing in the street firing at the Merkava -- the AK is an offensive weapon. Not that it can hurt the Merkava, because it can't. But it says, on camera, "I want to die and to kill." And the Merkava says, "Yikes, you people are crazy, get away from me!"
A tank vs. a rifle is an unequal battle -- but not necessarily in favor of the tank.
