Some international observers have suggested that the conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians is one-sided. UN242 decided to take a fair and balanced look at the armaments of Israel and Hamas to see if this is a fair assertion.
Israel
- Nuclear bombs (150 – 200)
- Battle tanks (2400)
- F16 fighter-bombers (301)
- Apache helicopters (54)
- Blackhwawk helicopter (48)
- White phosphorus
- Flechettes
- Cluster bombs
- DIME – Dense Inert Metal Explosive
- Navy gunships
Hamas
- Qassam bottle rockets
- Catapults (“slingshot” for Americans)
- Bits of brick
- Bits of breezeblock (cinderblock for Americans)
- Pebbles
- Stones
- Shirt-buttons
- Pineapples (Hamas will neither confirm nor deny their stockpile of pineapples)
- Pointed sticks (unknown number)
- Human and animal bones
Since both sides appear to have the same number of weapons. We conclude that the fight is fair and balanced. Furthermore, we predict that the outcome will be a draw.
