    I had forgotten about those feudal clans, Fred, but it's the same mentality - great-grandpa X was killed by that bastard family from hell Y, so it's our duty to kill them back...I was gone from Germany by 1969, but I don't recall any foreign nationals working in our mess halls...I was on separate rats toward the end, so I might not have even heard......Ben

    A little more on this came out this morning. The Israelis didn't exactly infiltrate the supply chain, they became the primary source in the supply chain. They set up a bogus company in Hungary making electronics gear. They then got a contract with hamas to supply them communication devices---which they did!

    I suspect they will lose that contract---just sayin

    I just hope they got paid before the product started killing them...Hamas might object to writing any checks if there's no one left with any functional hands or eyes......Ben

    Thanks for the information. I knew it was very complicated and controversial, hence the eternal wars that go on in that region.
