Israeli Iron Dome System saves german cruise ship Aida Diva from palestinian rockets

[Serpentine]

This isn't a Hollywood movie. Israel claims Hamas missiles' accuracy are shitty and now this super heroic story comes out where they want to target a moving cruise ship and heroic IDF forces come to its help...

Nobody said that Hamars targeted the ship. It looks more like it got into crossfire by accident.

Iron Dome saves Jerusalem:

Rockets fired by Hamas terrorists could easily hit 300,000 Jerusalem Arabs or even Muslim holy sites.

Hamas terrorists scum dont have respect even to third holy city in Islam.

Shouldn't the supporters of Hamas take a position and stick with it? Either the quality of the rockets is abominable, in which case Hamas is risking Palestinians lives for nothing and wasted massive Palestinian funds on garbage, or the quality of the rockets is sufficient, in which case Israel is justified in retaliating? I don't see a good argument for why Hamas should launch rockets other than to satisfy their own ego, but at the cost of much Palestinian blood.

Nothing heroic about this situation at all. Instead, it seems rather pointless.

The casualty count in Israel has been low since before there was an Iron Dome. In fact, Israel's casualty ratio to Palestine was far worse in 2012 than in 2009, and in 2012 they had Iron Dome and in 2009 they did not. If the Iron Dome impacted Israeli performance, it was for the worse, at least according to raw casualty count. Body count therefore may not say anything about the Iron Dome's effectiveness - it may be saying a lot more on the relative low quality of Hamas' arsenal. And there was extensive property damage in Israel in 2012, though it was only after the conflict was over that the Israeli media bothered to cover it - until then, it was all about the Iron Dome as the savior. I bet the same is the case now.


Well, I can see why do you want to believe in the Iron Dome's success, then.
In any case, most of its funding is of foreign origin (e.g. US government), ans since it's clear "the product" needs improvements and their current funders have no vital interest in it, it'll need committed investors.

Buthurt false flag propagandist.

Hamas clowns fired dozens rockets at Tel Aviv metropolis, each with 60-150 kg warhead. Not a single hit thanks to the Iron Dome.

If what you say is true, then the logical conclusion is that Hamas is launching rockets that are so ineffective, it takes hundreds or even thousands of launches to kill just one person. If that's the case, why shouldn't Hamas stop firing and sue for peace?

Or more likely, Ted Postol is incorrect.

hamas rockets are mostly duds .check the level of casualties by hamas rockets...

That must be the event. You can see the AIDA Diva in the harbor.

@LeveragedBuyout don't forget you can't use bullet u less there is foot on the ground .
The fact is as always said accuracy of Palestinian rockets are shit and the only thing going they are capable of are disrupting daily life in Israel and at least harm them economically

Is that a satisfying trade for Palestinians? Palestinian lives in exchange for some harm to the Israeli economy?

From my perspective, it's going to be very hard to get outsiders to respect Palestinian lives until the Palestinians themselves respect their own lives. Trading Palestinian lives just to disrupt the daily life of Israelis is a staggering concept, completely alien to me.

The Palestinians were killed and targeted even before they start firing rockets .
are you saying they must be good lambs and die without any fighting .

I'm saying that whatever fighting they're doing is ineffective, and only provides cover for more Palestinians to get killed. If no rockets were fired, do you think even the US would support Israel if it continued fighting after that? I doubt even internally, Israelis would support such a military campaign.

Meanwhile, all the resources that have gone into weapons-making could have been spent building the economy. Shouldn't the first goal of any Palestinian government--or supporters of Palestinians like Iran--be to improve the lives of Palestinians? Surely you don't think the rocket launches are materially helping Palestinians, do you?

I believe USA would have supported Israel no matter what

and building economy by what when in the next round of attack those infrastructure would be the first to be targeted.
let me ask you one question have you seen any settelers farm get leveled by idf for no reason at all have you seen their trees get uprooted ?
I think it's very clear why every work on reaching peace in that land have always been failed just look at the number of unscrupulous resolution against Israel that have been vetoed by one country and then compare them by the number of resolutions which were against Palestinian and have been vetoed.
