Wow!  Who creates these things!?  Sure is heavy satire.     :thumb
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

indeed Biggles as you say, it is "heavy satire" ...
This clip was created in Israel, by Israeli actors and an Israeli production crew.
I lived in Israel for 28 years. Israelis have a "unique" way of dealing with the daily threat of terrorism and asymmetric warfare.  :-[
Humour, satire, parody, are all a "release" for the intense pressures that surround the normality and existence of Jews and Israeli citizens...
My apologies in advance, as I don't want to make my comment "heavy" just wanted to explain...hope this helps

The thing I am trying to figure out is,  will the actual terrorists want to congratulate them or cut their heads of. Hard to know with those guys.

Huntertodd, Not hard to figure out, NO uncertainties, options or negotiations with terrorists... only violence, death and destruction, so... second option you listed.   :'(

I for one, appreciate your first-hand perspective.

It's not so much the asymmetric warfare I see that bothers me, as much as the asymmetric reporting of the conflict.  We are continually fed images of those injured and dead in Gaza, with occasional mention of a few rockets having been launched from there.  And even less frequently, mention that the rockets were launched from the very same hospitals that are treating the injured.

I wholeheartedly agree with that statement Biggles, it's a very messed up world we live in... the Hamas use civilian buildings (schools, kindergartens, hospitals, parking garages etc..) purposely, to draw fire on civilian targets.
During my 4 year regular duty and 13 year reservist military career with the IDF, i witnessed Arab terror events, that even after many years, i still find very difficult to put to paper, as they were inhumane and unbelievable.... best we talk about 2 wheel fun...   :13Candy

i just thought with all the bad press of late they may see benefit in  projecting a warm fuzzy slightly less harmful image.  It is very easy to be misunderstood when you are pictured holding someone else's head.

Ya gotta love good old Oz though. We will pay a disability pension to anyone,  even a friggin'  psychopathic terrorist. The good news is we've stopped it now! Well done boys.
