“Hamas Rolls Out Its New ‘Tank’ to Fight Israel. See If You Can Spot the Problem,” by Sharona Schwartz, The Blaze, February 2, 2016:
During a memorial service Saturday for seven Hamas militants killed when the tunnel they were in collapsed on them, Hamas rolled out what it called a “locally-produced” tank it said was fashioned out of an Israel Defense Forces’ tank captured two years ago.
However, a number of observers, both Palestinian and Israeli, noticed that there was something odd about the armored fighting machine which a Hamas spokesman warned would be used on the “path of jihad.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s spokesman Ofir Gendelman pointed out that the contraption appeared to be a mockup constructed of wood placed atop another vehicle whose wheels could be spotted poking out of the bottom.
Others suggested the gun turret was actually a sewage pipe.
The pro-Israel Elder of Ziyon blog reported Tuesday that a poster was created by Hamas’ rival Fatah mocking the tank display. The poster stated: “Can they excite the feelings of their supporters with … sewer pipes and fiberglass panels?”…

I swear, fighting against such idiots would actually be embarrassing for any professional military force.
mortimer says
It’s a dummy and the planners of it are too.

What’s Arabic for “Don’t take any wooden nickels”?
Islam_Macht_Frei says
“Alluha akbar”
That’s an Arabic phrase that is appropriate at any time, in any situation apparently.

“I swear, fighting against such idiots would actually be embarrassing for any professional military force.”
And yet no one seems to do it.
Stephen Rohaty says
Traitors like obama hamstring the American armed forces, so they cannot destroy even a plastic tank. Remember, before Normandy, we, ourselves, deployed dummy tanks in formerly Great Britain and Quaker guns on freighters.

We can only take one of two paths here and this is very simple!
Either capitulate to Islam or annihilate them.
Europe is being over run with Muslims, OPEC is mandating our economic future by over production of oil, and Africa is witnessing Islamic atrocities daily.
The real problem defined by a question. Are you rejoicing at the price of your local gasoline? It is running less than $1.00 per gallon in some parts of the country. The spot price today in New York Harbor is $1.00 per gallon. It should be $3.00 per gallon.
My friends, now is the time to prepare for a really bad future. If crude oil drops below $20.00 per barrel [today $29.88], we are going to see madness in the streets just like Ferguson, Missouri. However, this time it will be multi-cultural with all ethnic and racial groups chanting for a break.
America, wake up!!
David Scoltock says
I thought you yanks liked capitalism? You whine when petrol is too high and whine when it’s too low.
particolor says
Come to the Australian Regional Cities and Pay $1.68 a LITRE ?? 🙁 there that shouldn’t
cause any Rioting ! Whatever that meant ??
We would think we had gone to Paradise if we paid $1 a Gallon !! 🙂
Pumbar says
I can testify that this real. I saw exactly the same tank parked outside a local supermarket. Young toddlers could sit in its open top and, upon payment of fifty pence, the vehicle would rock back and forth making faint engine noises. The toddlers could press a large, green button too that would make the end of the drainpipe glow red and make a honking sound.
It was parked next to a similar ride which was a small fibreglass aeroplane in red and yellow. I remember the toddlers were pushed aside from this ride as a group of Iranians wanted to take photos of it as being one of their new fighter jets.
WorkingClassPost says
They’re everywhere it seems.
I saw one just like that outside our local Tesco’s but it was bright blue with real scary eyes (obviously to intimidate). They were even brazen enough to call it a Tank engine, and then to give it a Christian Name, Thomas no less!
Charli Main says
Thomas the Tank Engine !!! Thomas is a Christian name. A clear case of racist, bigoted Islamophobia, intended to insult Islam and offend ” British ” Muslims. All such apparatus should be re-named Mohammed the Tank Engine, halal certified of course !!!
pumbar says
Give it a couple of weeks! (when Dave gets back with his “re-negotiation”).

islam :- the hateful religion of idiots says
[imagine …..]
Six muslims standing beside their tank, one scratching his head,,
saying “mohamid, mohamid, our tank has a flat tyre”,
mohamid slaps the other mohamid across the head, yelling,,
“mohamid, I told you not to throw the jack at that Israeli helicopter”
I think “Hamas” and muslims in general would make a great comic strip subject,
(if the editors wern’t too afraid to print)
Easy as material that flows daily, each time I see some of their antics, I drift off into comedy land …
It’s just sad it’s so real …. And as Charlie Hebdo & Pamela will tell you, they don’t have the patience for it ;;;

Maybe it’s the Hamas entrant for the Soap Box Derby.

Take care, and brush your hair, Hamas.

Hamas rolls out new “tank”: wood mockup with sewage pipe for gun turret
…………………………..
This last is actually significant. Israel maintains much of Gaza’s sewer system, and pious Muslims regularly dig up metal sewer pipes to use as rocket launchers, resulting in sewage running through the streets.
I read about this initially in an engineering magazine–Israeli engineers had had to devise super strong and thick-walled PVC piping, which worked for sewage yet could not be used for weaponry.
Oddly, the magazine treated this as though it were simply any other technical issue, like dealing with a high water table or frequent earth movements or something else innocent.
I suppose when dealing with ravening Mohammedans this sort of thing is considered “normal”.
God, I hate Islam.
Barry says
Sure people are laughing now but wait until they receive their new Battleship and Aircraft Carrier from their latest military arms supplier- Toys “R” Us. Then we’ll see who’s laughing.
Georg says
Iran built some dorky mock-up of an American ship and attacked it with their entire navy. They were very, very impressed with themselves after a narrow victory.
gravenimage says
Yes–I was thinking of just that, Georg.
nacazo says
OMG. This is a military development on the level of the panzer tank by nazis during WWII. And we know the allies responded with the carpet bombing of Dresden.
Israel has no option but carpet bomb Rafah.

Swear pipe? Well that’s appropriate.

The funniest part is that they copied the hebrew inscription (“3ב”) from real Israely tanks. What a cargo cult!
WorkingClassPost says
I hear they’re going to use it as a float in the next carnival (you know how islamies love to celebrate), and it’s going to have the next muslim emperor standing atop, waving to the populous – I wonder what he’ll be wearing?
particolor says
They are being Sued for Patent Infringement by Israel !! Will be a long case.

Believe it or not phony tanks are dangerous because they waste ammunition of the other side. They were used by Serbia to waste NATOs ammunition

Morty Mooze says
The phony tank is a symbol of what Hamas is albout.
TheOldOligarch says
This is what pisses me off more than anything. Muslims are a joke, why are they even a problem for us? It’s because of traitor politicians and the zombie masses who want peace at any price. As someone else said, fighting against these cretins would be embarrassing for any western military. Islam could be defanged and contained within a couple of years if we got serious about it, yet that’s not going to happen. What we’re going to get instead is a bloodbath across Europe in the next decade or so.
mike ryan says
I’ve never claimed that Muslims don’t possess a sense of humor. The problem is, however, that only non-Muslims can detect it.

LOL!
