Apparently the job requirements to be the High Poohbah of some UN committee is not very great.
I think I will run for Great High Commissioner, His Lordship of Sea Transportation and Trade. It will take quite a while before they realize I am a pirate. And then they will probably give me a promotion.

Yep share your best defensive measures against an enemy that is determined to kill and drive your country into the sea. What's next, will they demand that the US hand over nukes to Iran and North Korea?"The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe. I did try to found a heresy of my own; and when I had put the last touches to it, I discovered that it was orthodoxy."

Originally posted by Spartacus View PostThat's apparently not exactly what is meant here. The idea is that a number of Hamas' rockets fall short of their targets and end up hitting Palestinian civilians; the suggestion is that Iron Dome could destroy these rockets as well. It's stupid, yes, even very stupid, but not THAT stupid."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe.

Originally posted by lilpixieofterror View PostConsidering that Hamas could care less about their civilians, encourages them to become human shields, and have broken every agreement they have ever made (yeah, like they would use these technology toys to protect their own citizens). Yeah, it is about that stupid. Why would Israel hand over any technology to an enemy that has said they plan on killing every last man, women, and child in Israel, if it is the last thing they ever do?
In any case, almost certainly impossible for the Iron Dome to target and destroy a misfiring rocket before it lands back in Gaza.Don't call it a comeback. It's a riposte.

Originally posted by Spartacus View PostIron Dome doesn't really have any other uses besides shooting down Hamas' rockets. It can't stop artillery shells or planes on bombing runs.
A. Employee them to protect civilians.
B. Employee them to protect their own launch sites, tunnel's, command centers, etc
I'd vote for B myself. A better option would be for the UN to stop making divine judgments and actually do something about terrorist groups, such as Hamas, who want to kill lots and lots of people to begin with. The UN will not bother to do this and thus it becomes more and more ineffective, just like the league of nations that came before it.

And they would not bother to do that anyway because one would have to assume that they actually cared about the population under their control. It is clear they do not or they wouldn't be launching attacks against Israel and telling the population to stay put so they could use them as human shields.Don't call it a comeback. It's a riposte.
