#1 Here in the Middle East we have a saying "Dogs bark, but the caravan keeps going." Mind you, IMO, this particular pack of dogs (BBC) is long overdue to discovering what half a brick can be used for.

#2 The BBC is also British g(r)om. You must always keep that in mind and forgive them. :-)

#4 Is 7 out of 10 rockets not better than 10 out of 10 rockets hitting your Kibbutz?

#5 In the 2006 Lebanon war, Israel suffered one fatality for every 75 rockets fired. During the recent Gaza conflict, they suffered one fatality per 300 rockets fired

Something happened and if it is not Iron Dome then what?

#7 "Some say..." I'll take Israel over Mr/Ms Some any day.

In the 2006 Lebanon war, Israel suffered one fatality for every 75 rockets fired. During the recent Gaza conflict, they suffered one fatality per 300 rockets fired

Well said, Bernard Z.

#8 Keep in mind:

o To a leftist, anything less than perfection is evil.

o To a leftist, a dead Jew is a perfect Jew.

So Iron Dome is doubly-damned in the lefts' "mind".

#9 Nothing works, it's hopeless except for windmills, tofu and killing 6 billion people quickly to avoid collapse.

I don't mean me of course.

#11 During the recent Gaza conflict, they suffered one fatality per 300 rockets fired

Yeah, and then Hamas ran out of rockets, declared victory and quit. Does anybody remember how many Gazooks died per 300 rockets fired?

#12 If Israel signed Kyoto and became a big vocal global warming person would they get any love from the left?

#13 It would certainly be wonderful to see the results if Bibi publicly agreed with some of these guys on environmental issues.

#14 It's hard to agree with "environmental" issues when so many are lies. Man caused Global Warming and Alar are two that float to the top of the cesspool.
