I don't want to get into an arguement here because I actually believe that israel are well outta line,and support what you're saying, but:
1) Taken from wikpedia, Hardly home made, particular attention to who the russians supplied these rockets to:
Katyushas since World War II
Russian forces use BM-27 rocket launchers during the Second Chechen WarThe success and economy of multiple rocket launchers (MRL) have led them to continue to be developed. During the Cold War, the Soviet Union fielded several models of Katyushas, notably the BM-21 launchers fitting the stereotypical Katyusha mould, and the larger BM-27. Katyushas were exported to Afghanistan, Angola, Czechoslovakia, Egypt, East Germany, Hungary, Iran, North Korea, Poland, Syria, and Vietnam
2)No I do not, however israel are still claiming they are fighting HEZBOLAH, not the whole palestinian race, HEZBOLAH is classed as a terrorist organisation, and lets not forget that the latest so called peace was broken by the abduction of israeli soldiers by Hezbolah.
3)Will supply this when I confirm a couple of details, like model etc, it is a syrian made, IR activated road side bomb supplied in bulk to disidents and is fast replacing the unreliable homemade munition bombs, made from old artilery shells, the majority of these failed to detonate.
4)I agree completely, which leads us to the bigger picture I was talking about, it has been said that jordan,syria etc will never attack israel, Rubbish!. The further israel gets dragged into another guerilla war, the more vulnerable it will be to attack, history is littered with opportunists in war.
And yes the US is pushing the israeli agenda under the guise of the war on terror, but that will only last so long, the more of an all out war on the palestinian people this becomes, the less the US can push its agenda.
As for the media, again I agree completely, but this has been the same since media began, it will always show what its masters want it to show. The majority of germans didn't know what their own soldiers were doing in ww2 due to hitlers media machine, US soldiers being killed in somalia caused more uproar than the famine and murder that preceeded it, why? because the media made it so.
The media is a tool, no more no less, and in todays age of communication the news media is more powerfull than ever, but it will always be biased, you can not tell me that palestinian media shows the indiscriminate way its missiles are killing civilians,just in the same way israeli media will not show its missiles killing civilians.
Israel are in the wrong 100%, they are illegally occupying another country, they do this because they fear that country is a threat to their security, unfortunately they just don't see that they created that threat and are perpetuating it daily. Peace can be acheived, but it would take sacrifices I don't think people will make.

wHOO Where did all that come from?
1. What exactly is those countrys supplying the Palestinans with? The last time I checked the had home made rockets and kalasjnikovs. Against Apaches, F16 and tanks etc.
2. So fight with Israel is the war against Terror? Or is it what we should belive?
3. I would consider the fact that 80% of the road bombs are Syrian made if you had any kind of proof! Consider also that a entire army supply of one of the biggest armys in the world was spread around after the Saddam regim felt..
4. Also consider that the one country that really wants Syria and Iran attacked is Israel and looking of how much pull they have in the current US administration it wouldnt be to wild to suspect that they are "pushing" for that direction.
I would really like to discuss why the Us media are censored to filter news about Israel. They showed it very clear in the film by comparing the same news broadcasted in BBC against US media.
