What the Hamas sympathizers never tell you as they play the role of victim in this war is that they’ve never stopped firing rockets into Israel. Israel is under constant attack. Back in April, Iran launched drones and missiles at Israel — most of which were intercepted by Israel’s Iron Dome defense system. There was a report that President Joe Biden conveyed to Iran via Turkey that it could go ahead with its attack, but Iran’s “reaction must be within certain limits.” As we said, most of the missiles were intercepted, and according to Axios, Biden told Benjamin Netanyahu, “You got a win. Take the win.”
The Washington Post published three years ago an analysis arguing that the Iron Dome, while protecting Israeli lives, “leaves little incentive for a political solution.” The story is old, but the headline has been making the rounds Tuesday.

Hamas continually firing rockets into Israel leaves little incentive for a political solution. What kind of political solution … giving Hamas its own state?
Pathetic title.
They would be happy if Israel didn’t have an Iron Dome.
Thanks to G-d’s gift of brilliant minds to the people of Israel, the Iron Dome is a reality, no matter what haters say.

Apparently @washingtonpost doesn’t think enough Jews have died lately.

This is what happens when media assume the role of armchair military strategists, producing a miasma of brain farts.

Apparently, the WaPo feels that a weaker Israel would best ensure their survival. Sounds like the kind of backwards-assed logic that a recent grad with zero life experience might write.

*Dribble. No iron dome would encourage a full military occupation of Gaza. It would NOT promote a political settlement.

Another variant of “Israel needs to surrender” because I said so.

It’s actually true. Iron Dome protects Israel’s enemies.
— Max (@MaxNordau) June 11, 2024
Well, it DOES. Without Iron Dome, Israel would be forced to pave over Gaza and some of the West Bank to keep terrorists from launching rockets at them. Then the conflict would be over…

TBF, it does prolong the conflict, because Israel would have run out of patience earlier…but then the WaPo would be whining about the mean Israelis wiping out the Palestinians…
No P sound in Arabic.

It’s a valid point … without the Iron Dome to give Israel “wins,” it would have had to have shut down Hamas a long time ago.
They’re right insofar as it allows the international community to pressure Israel to not reign down hell on each missile firing location the second it fires a missile.
It allows Hamas Hezbollah to keep shooting missiles.

So Israel’s allowed to defend itself and continue to exist.
