Actually, the population of Gaza is 1.7million so better check your facts. Israel has conscription and so these Bedouin battalions that you speak of aren't volunteers, they're forced into the army. As for the bottle rockets, they're no match for the US built M1 Abrams tanks, F15/F16 fighters, AH1 Apache helicopter gunships with their hellfire antitank missiles that terrorise the largely hapless population of Gaza who are struggling to survive under an israeli blockade.
Wasn't Israel founded on terrorism? I seem to remember that British soldiers were murdered by Zionist terrorists in the run up to 1948.

As for the thread:
Let's bear in mind that US intelligence has stated that Iran stop its nuclear weapons programme back 2003/4. They made this claim in 2007. This is not a secret, it's just not widely reported by the pro Zionist media. The same way that intelligence agencies knew that Saddam no longer possessed WMDs and yet the media seemed to ignore that fact too!!
