Are you kidding? Every missile that made it past Sderot to Asheklon & Ashdod were Iranian grads. The Hamas made stuff doesn't go that far. CNN had a display of the various missiles that have landed in Israel (where some remains existed) & showed the chinese lettering on the grads - they are factory made with straight lines & all. There were other sophisticated ones too. How do you know there were not anti-tank armour or any of that? What do you think all the efforts with caution by how the IDF operated was? There were bobby traps & it hindered actions every day there were reports. Israel was vindicated on it's claims. Hamas's main stores were destroyed in the first air strikes & over days yet they kept firing & it keep being bigger & bigger missiles. They even fired a phosrouphous one near the end at Israeli civilian areas. It proves that Israel's claims of weapons smuggling & stashes was true when they still had some left after ALL of that was already destroyed. Listen to the news & you will see all this stuff. As for "zionist propaganda", the country is "Israel" & it's not only rude not to use it's name. However shows your stance is to not find out any truth but just support your own preconceived notions. Personally I thought it interesting that Hamas didn't use their bigger stuff till later on. I got the impression, they were running low on their own homemade stuff, but still wanted to fire. It was weird how the more that got destroyed the bigger their weapons got. ============ Vavo Israel offered the Palestinians an independent country in 2000. Knesset voted yes. It's the PA that turned it down (Arafat walked out on the offer). In turn THE PA started the intafada war with Israel. Why? Because in -some- Arab minds the only okay solution is a larger Arab Muslim empire in the region. And Israel creates a thorn in that plan & "steals" that greater goal. The idea of Arabs as Palestinian & a nation was created in the 1960's for the PR - it says so in the PLO charter (you can find & read it on the net.) You've being suckered into supporting the hate of the radical right wing PAs which doesn't help those PAs who want peace.

Iran is sending weapons to arm the insurgents and terrorists that are killing innocent Iraqis. Blackwater personnel are supposed to be protecting the contractors who are building new infrastructure. Unfortunately there may be some Blackwater personnel that have acted unprofessionally, or maybe the civilians killed were caught in the crossfire with insurgents. We will not know the facts until a thorough investigation has taken place.

Blackwater employees do it to prolong this very profitable war, apart from the actual money they make on the smuggling, and Iran does it to give the factions that support them and their faith a headstart.
Morally no difference whatsoever.

I would think the difference is that both are smuggling arms to kill Americans but Blackwater are Americans smuggling arms to kill our solders...... why is that...... they need to supplement their income ? Check their website, they make $555.00 PER DAY....... taxpayer supported ofcourse

Corporate profit, If they turn profit that's OK...right? like the Iran/Contra issue, money was made so it was OK. Congress said it was illegal, but CIA/white house did it anyway and made money for their friends. Tried and found guilty they got a slap in the wrist, and are now back in the current administration, business as usual, Profits are being made off tax dollars, Black-water is just a new vehicle for the same old crap.

One is approved by the US govt and one is not.
Better question -- what's the difference between Italy selling arms to insurgents in Iraq and Iran doing the same thing?
We haven't claimed we want to attack Italy for doing it.
