To be fair, they should have made a version from the Palestinian perspective, as well. Something tells me the Palestinians don't have 15 seconds of air raid warnings. The missiles and strike craft probably don't give much lead time at all. Maybe a few moments of odd whirring before something randomly explodes near them, and people die. So the Palestinian version should start on 00:02 instead of 00:15... The joys of American-made, American-taxpayer funded advanced strike weapons.

Not only are the weapons USA made & designed, they are given to Israel in the form of defense aid. The USA gives Israel a $2 billion dollar credit every year to buy our weapons.

Outside of Poland, Israel is the only country that qualifies on that list.

> Something tells me the Palestinians don't have 15 seconds of air raid warnings. You're right. They have hours. Israel frequently text-messages civilians and asks them to vacate the area. Israel attacks military targets, not civilians. Military targets aren't as mobile as civilians.
