PALESTINIAN WEAPONS SUPERIORITY GROWS
Because the shooter at the Mercaz Herav yeshiva was an Israeli Arab, it’s clear that the Palestinians have a far greater advantage in Self-Destructing Weapons (SDW) than previously estimated. On the assumption that every Arab in the territories is an SDW, Circus Israel’s military establishment had quantified the Palestinian SDW stockpile at approximately 3.5 million. After the yeshiva attack, however, officials have conceded that Arab citizens of Israel must be counted, bringing the Palestinian SDW arsenal to at least 5 million. In contrast, the Jews of Circus Israel, who enjoy feeding the Palestinians their own medicine, have yet to develop a credible SDW. As former Chief of Staff Moshe Yaalon acknowledges, “We follow General Patton’s maxim that no son-of-a-bitch wins a war dying for his country, but by making the other son-of-a-bitch die for his. But this hasn’t really fulfilled our strategic objectives. We seem to do better just taking their land.” Under pressure from the Shas party, which threatened to leave the governing coalition unless the massive SDW imbalance is eliminated, Defense Minister Ehud Barak has attempted to purchase SDWs from Thailand, Romania and other potential suppliers. Other than a delivery of 2 million human kidneys from Brazil, these efforts have been unsuccessful. “Asymmetrical warfare is completely unfair to Israel,” declared Internal Security Minister Avi Dichter. “When we’re on the short end, I mean.”
