See the Resemblance? Check Out Which Animals These Israeli Aircraft Were Named After

Dec. 29, 2012 10:15pm Erica Ritz

The official blog of the Israeli Defense Forces often posts informational pictures and videos, whether it is of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, or Gaza’s economy. But they also publish more lighthearted material, like an online game in which you can rise through the ranks of the IDF.

On Saturday, they published a story about “IDF aircraft oddly similar to the animals they’re named after.”

Do you see the resemblance? Here are a few of the 13 they posted:

The Israeli name for the C-130 is Hippo, Not Rhinoceros.

@THEWASPANGLOSAXON: Palestine was the name the Roman commanders termed the territory they annexed for Rome. the Roman governor recognized the Talmud leaders of Israel as the governmental link to the people. Israelite’s.

“Palestine” is the Latin name from the empire of Rome during it’s time of “Pax Romana.” annexation or die.

I can spot an anti-Semite from a sand dune away. Superior optics, and a relaxed breath…Just a finger squeeze from (A)llah they are. And they are on their way! To a fiery surprise.

BTW Mr. Historian….Saxony was well represented during the Crusades. Your probably some Norman piece of trash, escargot eating wine swiller. Get in your Le Car, and go home…The internet kiosk is closing, and Mama’ is worried about Le’ petite Pierre.

@ THE_JERK must admit the name fits you well. The Zionist state you refer to is ISRAEL. and like it or not they are GODS’ chosen people. One day JESUS is coming back, our MESSIAH and he is going to reign and rule. Then he is going to judge and destroy those that do not believe in him.
I WILL STAND WITH ISRAEL.
Please read the book of JOHN in the BIBLE and believe in your heart what it says. Ask GOD to open your heart while there is still time. JESUS said behold I stand at the door and knock if any man answer I will come in. Let him in and partake of that wonderful, glorious message of salvation. For GOD so loved the world, he sent his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. JOHN 3:16 …..

  THE_JERK, I guess you will have to holster that bird hand then. The most of us are not involved with the worship of other people. We do however, do what we can to get along with and live with OTHER people. You by your own word have told us clearly just how much you worship at the altar of hate. Simply because some others happen to be Jewish, and you occasionally heap black people upon that altar at times too.
  You can see below just how many here agree with you. The last I looked it was none, but I have in the past see a couple who back you, but just a couple.

  @The Jerk – I was going to suggest that Israel name all of its pilots “Eagle-Beak”, but I like your suggestion much better! Right on!

  @rjjingadsden – Y’know, when you invoke the word “hate” so many times in such an accusatory manner, you sound so much like your cousins of the ultra-left. Hate, like love, is but an emotion. There’s nothing wrong with hate, if you hate the right things. You, on the other hand, obviously love a tiny counterfeit ‘state’ that was stolen from its indigenous inhabitants, that has continually waged a genocidal war against the indigenous civilian Palestinian population for over 60 years now.
  You are the type that I ‘hate’ (shudder, shudder, the H-word) because you support a parasitic race of international criminals that has not only stolen Palestine but has stolen your own government, mainly with the help of the brain-dead such as yourself.

  Obama is to Lincoln as the fiscal-cliff is to the War of Northern Aggression.
  
  Lincoln killed the union to save the Union. Obama killed the American Economy to save — ahh — oh, yeah, progressivism.

  Very telling. Indisputable proof that we made ourselves the enemy of a billion Muslims, living over many natural resources, in favor of a million Jews, living over nothing in an occupied territory the size of New Jersey.

  JERK…You’re the fool!!!! You don’t know what is at stake, or even which subject you side with…Or against. You have not begun to learn, let alone actually KNOW anything. I agree with some of your less reactionary attitudes, but you are proving to be totally ignorant of who and what you spew about. You had better have all your ducks in a row and all the loose ends tied, because you will be cut loose if you continue…..Take my word for it….you don’t know where your liberty originated.

  @Jerk
  Interesting. So you seem to think the sole reason for forming friendships is on account of useful resources. Kind of like how many people vote for politicians based on how many handouts they’ll receive. Maybe next you’ll tell us that we should be friends with Russia and Venezuela for their oil.
  
  Oh and by the way, Israel has a larger economy than all of those oil-rich countries and has been as the forefront of innovation for some time now.

  Tzion: “@Jerk Interesting. So you seem to think the sole reason for forming friendships is on account of useful resources.”
  
  Good day, and you know that’s not true.
  
  We had a choice: 1) stay out of Middle Eastern affairs; 2) Help Israel and upset a billion Muslims sitting on prime real estate. Helping a Zionist state, who at the time was composed of former terrorists holding the record for most civilians killed in a terrorist attack.
  
  Our State Department agreed with my logic, and laid out their reasons based on their logic. Truman, for selfish political gain, did not. We now know the result. The State Dept. was spot on. People like you were wrong. American lives and American wealth has been lost. American reputation and integrity has been squandered. All for a political movement that once partnered with Hitler’s Nazi party.

  Y’all lay of The-Jerk. At least he is honest on who he is… just look at the name he chose for himself! Doesn’t that just speak loads about him? Although,.. I think he should spruce it up a little bit. How about adding ignorant to his name? I propose you change your name to The-Ignorant-Jerk. Sounds a little more formal. Catchy isn’t it?

All just too cool – love the Israelis and especially PM Netanyahu. He has many more challenges with the re-election of barry boy. Speaking of barry boy looks like he is going to give another slap in the face to them by naming Hagel to Sec of Defense. The bastard loves to poke them in the eye just as with the American people.

  The government should keep on grabbing all the tax dollars they can get their mitts on…they need to spend it all on entitlements and third rate medical care, as well as raises and golden parachutes for the incompetent D.C. denizens, living in their imaginary “America”. Addicts don’t have a chance for rehabilitation, until Rock bottom is reached…and felt, deeply.
  Remember….The most effective gun control is achieved by using BOTH hands.
