Katyusa caused very little damage in Israel, it's more of a terror weapon!
That's true. You kill some people with them, indiscriminantely, and you
terrorize the rest. The only way to defend against them is to move out of
their range, which many Israelis did, or to kill them at the source of
launching. Which Israel also did.

theres another way to stop the rockets
and its the way israel finally resorted to
and it worked

Over what, 2 Israeli soldiers, captured by Hisballa?
Yeah. But that was all pretext. Hezbollah was trying to provoke something.
That's why they had recently stockpiled thousands of Katyushas and other
weapons near the Lebanese-Israeli border.

did you notice hezbollah succeeded?

the story israel and the usa were telling
is that hezbollah were non-lebanese foreigners
imposing themslvees on poor lebanon
and brave plucky israel acting as a usa proxy
was finally going to deal with the menace to peace justice and aipac way
free the lebanese

good story until reality smacked them in the face

israel got its butt handed to it
and the lebanese government was badly weakened and remains tottering
with hezbollah came out of this strong than ever

now what lessons can we learn from this?

We learned that Isreal needs to bring back Netanyahu, who had the spine
to deal with those raghead SOBs
