IRON DOME ON SALE NOW

The article is lacking 'What actually is Iron Dome?'

As in all aspects of our busy lives these days wikipedia holds the answer - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Dome:

Iron Dome is a mobile air defense system designed to intercept and destroy short-range rockets and artillery shells fired (by naughty Arabs) from distances of 4 to 70 kilometers away whose trajectory would take them to a areas populated (by good Israelis) in all weather conditions.

Each Iron Dome battery consists of three launchers, each carrying 20 interception missiles.

On 10 March 2012, The Jerusalem Post reported that the system shot down 90% of rockets launched from Gaza into Israel. Rockets destined to land in unpopulated areas of Israel are automatically ignored.

Iron Dome is on sale now http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Dome#Foreign_sales

Every Australian home should have one :)

[quote]from article

''many analysts emphasized..that only a handful
of Israelis had been injured,..but none fatally.

The fighting, they accordingly claimed..
produced relatively little pressure..*on the home front.

Alon Ben David from Channel Ten summed up..this perspective..when he wrote: "There is no doubt..]lol]..that Iron Dome..*alongside the population's..[lol]..*exemplary behavior""

via silence

""prevented casualties on the Israeli side
and enabled Israel..to come out of this cycle*

I would say..with a sense of satisfaction.!

Twenty-two [combatants]..[yeah right..were they 'armed'
in act of terror,..or "hiding"..[in their own homes?]

22..'''..were killed on the *other side,
and another..[three or four]civilians;""

what no kids for once?

""we..have zero losses…under these conditions!""

civil inaction

""we can conduct..a monitored[fray]
*that we initiate…"*""[and survive?]

""Zvi Barel..exposed the logic
behind the Iron Dome's glorification,
claiming that it helps Netanyahu "sell" the planned attack against Iran""..

SURPRIZE*

"": "After Iron/Dome..demonstrated
*!*!*!its 95 per cent*!*!*..[lol]effectiveness,
there is no better proof..to Israeli citizens..that..*they will not suffer..*serious damage..following an assault*..against Iran.

Escalation..in Gaza..is good for Israel,
meaning..*for those..who support attacking Iran".

In a slightly different context
and using Netanyahu's duck allegory,?

Haaretz's editor-in-chief Aluf Benn wrote,
"what looks like..a preparation for war,
acts..*like a preparation..for war,..

and quacks
like a preparation..*for war,
*is..a preparation for war,..and not just a 'bluff' or a diversion tactic"."'

yes
AHHHHmen

yes the end/time nutters
are insane

[no god
of life]..is honoured..*by murder[death]..nor war*]
