I strongly support the overall message of this video, but the execution is flawed. First of all, I don’t think the Palestinians actually have missiles with a range of 30 miles. This link suggests that they have just now gotten rockets with a range as long as 22 miles: http://kirkpete.blogspot.com/2008/12/quick-takes-on-gaza-hamas.html
But that’s a quibble, let’s accept a 30-mile range capability. The video asks us to imagine attacks on cities that are a LOT farther than 30 miles from the Mexican border, including Los Angeles, Phoenix, Tuscon and others.
I stand with Israel. But with all of the overheated rhetoric in the debate over Israeli-Palistinian relations, it’s important to be precise in stating our side’s case.

This video gives an extreme example of an attack on US land. But there are other places which are 20-30 miles away from the border that can be under threat in a case of an attack from Mexico.

Just one more thing- the new improved Grad rockets can hit targets like Ashdod and Yavne which are 28-27 miles from Gaza strip.

i think the video is very occurate. Nobody would accept that. either it is 20 or 30 milles is irrelevant, the bad guy wants to kill you and yours and will shoot without discrimination, the earlier the arabs understand that the jews ei israel is in its rights to live in is country the better it is. Unfortunalely , nobody in the arab world dares to say it. In fact i believe Israel is the best thing that could happen to the arab world…or whatever this area may be called, for obvious reasons.
