Small arms 7.62 mm rounds

In May 2001, Israeli Navy patrol boats detained a 40 ton ship (the Santorini) off the western coast of Israel. The ship sailed from Lebanon under the patronage of the PFLP-GC with a cargo destined for Palestinian elements in the Gaza Strip. It should be noted that the ship had previously carried out at least two smuggling attempts on behalf of the Lebanese Hizballah terrorist organization.
Weapons found on board the ship included:
Hand grenades
Hungarian Kalashnikov assault rifles
Magazines for Kalashnikovs
7.62 mm rounds for Kalashnikovs
When Israel withdrew from Gaza, she left all the agricultural & industrial infrastructure intact, deliberately, so the Palestinians could use them to find a better way. The state of the art industrial greenhouses that the settlers built employed thousands of Palestinians & exported produce all over the world.

Arms smuggling STRONG!!!!
Mods, can you please move this thread to the General discussion forum? Thanks.
dude, if all the weapons are intercepted , i doubt Israel will be buying stuff form US of A soon...
so many!
Somw Pali weapons captured in Beit Hanon
Radios, harddrives, BDU's, boots, tactical vests..all kind of stuff. Does it all get disposed of, or is it re-used for training or the like i wonder.
it would have been only one attempt if they had sunk itIn May 2001, Israeli Navy patrol boats detained a 40 ton ship (the Santorini) off the western coast of Israel.

you give them land, you give them aid, you give them opportunity, Bill Gates personally paid a few mill to buy those greenhouses that were one of the most efficient farms in the world, to provide food and economy for the Palestinians when they would take over.
Instead of growing food and making money and sending kids to school, they smuggle and they kill and fire rockets and breed more shaheeds. I laugh when I still hear these wide eyed liberal idiots insisting that Israel should give up more land to these people.
Well how would you fight an occupation?Originally Posted by The face of Jacob
bwhwahahaha!!
No seriously, if this thread is to discuss the tactics and usefulness of smuggling weapons it belongs somewhere else. But if it's to criticize the right of Palestinians to fight Military occupation then we're in familiar territory here. I do not condone suicide bombing of civilian targets and other such terrorist attacks but there's nothing wrong with otherwise violently opposing a foreign occupation. The Jews smuggled weapons in to the Ghetto for the Warsaw uprising against the Nazis.
Oh, you mean the Muslim occupation in the Jewish land. You should have said this in the first place. There's no such thing as Palestine land nor a Palestinian nation.
Here are the real Nazis:
Annihiliation Of Jews On Judgment Day
Pure Jew Hate On Palestinian AUTHORITY TV
PA Sermon: Muhammad Warned of the Inherent Evil of Jews
I'm not particularly interested in Biblical interpretations of whose land it is, or whose land it was more than a few generations back. There is room for both an Israel and a Palestine in the region and there's no reason that Palestinians should live as second class citizens in the land they were born in. For that reason, I feel it is fair for Palestinians to resist Israeli oppression.

Jacob face, take a deep breath, simmah don, and realize that just because you are passionate about your views on this subject it doesn't mean the international members of this board care nor share your particular views. It might make your stay here a bit more pleasant.
