I am speaking from a pure military stand point, they serve no purpose in actually disabling enemy assets, maybe out of all of these only mortars do, and no I am speaking from the perspective of guerilla warfare, these are rockets and not missiles, and rockets are either used in really heavy fire fashion over a certain area the way MLRS is used, or you use guided missiles.
I know this , I'm informed. But, you need to take the context of the conflict into account. These rockets disable life in Israel, it is more symbolic that's true for now. But, it manages to send a message that your people won't see calm if ours don't. We really can't improve our arsenal without any help.
And as you said as Palestine does not have the capability of achieving either, the only thing these weapons serve to do is illuminate target positions for Israeli Military to attack.
Today is different, Israel can't locate the launchers as much as they used to. They are moved from place to place underground.
However it would be much more effective to set up city defences against the advances of armoured columns and infantry squads.
We have that, which is why Israel resorted to pretty much carpet bombing the Shajaiyah. 60% of the homes in that district were destroyed. They can't fight a ground war, they can only bomb, bomb and bomb civilians. And the US keeps supplying them with more.
Hazzy my dear friend, you need to understand that the best people who truly wish the best for you are the ones who disagree with you, the ones who agree with you on everything are the most dangerous people to have around you, through disagreement and debate only do we become better.
Iran and Hamas don't have ties anymore. They are very minimal. That doesn't reflect my personal view on Iranians. For this conflict though, we don't want war trust me. We have no other choice. Palestine is under attack. Economically, politically, socially and militarily. Gaza bears the brunt of the military attack every time because Palestinians want to be free from siege. Our leaders/strategists study this well. They know the long term effects of demilitarizing more than we all do. If our Arab leaders can't take a lead in this then the Palestinians will do what is right in their eyes.
Because, Israel has one policy towards which has been the same for decades. It's to push us out of our land through all possible means. So if you want us to develop better weapons how can we do so with with Arab nations preventing this? And if you want this status quo to remain(Siege/occupation/theft of West Bank/Gaza), until how long should we tolerate it?
Palestinians are my people as much as Saudi people are, my best childhood friend was a Palestinian, my neighbour where I grew up and went to play with everyday was a Palestinian, and everything I say is from a wish deep in my heart to better the lives and status of Palestinians in the world, and yes I disagree with you in many things, it is because I believe that the actions of Palestinians currently in Palestine are harming them instead of bettering their lives.
I know this, we are all brothers and wish for the best. The thing is this is much more complicated than we think. It isn't about the simply 'solutions' Israel presents to the world which is all about destroying the Palestinians rights. Our right to economy, security, sovereignty, etc...
They never talk about their part(which is the problem). Our Arab brothers would do much more to help if we could. However, US/West/Israel dictate the whole policy in this region. In Syria, they refuse to arm FSA because two things:
1. FSA doesn't want to support Israel's interests.
2. FSA wants to form a civilized Syrian state with Islamic Law, an army of Islamic nature(fighting for right causes).
FSA doesn't want to do #1 so they prefer this Syrian crisis to go on for decades until vast majority of Syrian infrastructure is destroyed so it is impossible for an Islamic army. Only reason West cut support to FSA is because they refused to be pro-Israel and expressed intent to cooperate with other Islamic movements in Syria.
They hate Muslims/Islam/Islamic policy/Islamic driven people. When will you all wake up to this.
.......
You know politics and understand this very well.
The truth is you don't know the solution to this. You are hopeless, the whole Arab world is hopeless in stopping Israel. But, at the same time you see a point in discouraging their right to arm. And I see this as why Arab world takes out their frustration on us.
Because Israel keeps repeating the same pathetic lies which create an environment where the more rights we strip the Palestinians of the closer we get to two-state solution. It's a game which they will keep prolonging until the West Bank is completely theirs.
