#3 pretty obviously this is disproportionate. The Juice need to give the Paleos an Iron Dome too

#4 I would settle for putting just plain domes over the Paleos and letting them try to live on their own and build a functioning society separated from everyone.

#8 "Over the past 48 hours, terrorist organizations in Gaza fired over 120 Grad missiles, rockets and mortars at the Israeli home front, 50 of which were fired since this morning. Since Thursday, approximately eight Grad missiles and rockets were intercepted by IAF Aerial Defense Corps forces, using the Iron Dome system."
