As the fragile ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinians goes into its third day, dozens of members of the of the Al-Aqsa Martyr's Brigade gathered in Nablus for a military parade showing off what they say is the new and improved rockets of the organization in the West Bank.

The activists claimed that the rocket is a new model called Jund Allah 1, and it will be operational soon to be launched at Israeli targets.
The Brigades clarified that in case of an Israeli escalation, the rockets will land in a short time in Israel.

However, senior commanders within the organization told Ynet that the cell which displayed the rockets does indeed belong to the organization, but there has not been a decision yet whether to restart the rocket fire towards Israel. According to one of the commanders, the group consists of young activists who are looking to prove themselves, to claim credit and to make themselves noticed.

1. Israel/Palistinean issues again?

No thanks. It's been determined that Israel is right before they even act, think, or plan...and that the Palistineans are evil, wrong, and worthy of destruction.

Do we have the argument laid out right? Might as well put it out there in the beginning. Israel is right.

2. Then why even post in I/P?

This article is in the I/P forum, if you do not want to discuss or are unable to do so, then you shouldn't post here.

6. Yech!

Now, in all honesty, I can have some ympathy for the people who actually do this shit for a cause. I don't think they're right - but I can understand. Doing it just to prove to your buddies that you have balls, though... Yeesh. Someone smack these yutzes.
