    Israel Proves That Missile Defense, Long Mocked by Left, Works in an Actual War

    Reagan was also mocked for his plans for missile defense. Israel's system worked well considering the number of rockets and missiles lobbed its way in the recent conflict.


    Israel Proves That Missile Defense, Long Mocked by Left, Works in an Actual War

    The concept of missile defense, long mocked by mainstream journalists, was a big winner in the recent combat between Israel and the Hamas terrorist group.

    Prime Minister Netanyahu underscored that in remarks this morning with Secretary of State Blinken at Jerusalem, Israel, thanking Mr. Blinken for “replenishments of Iron Dome interceptors that saved civilian lives.”


    Mr. Blinken replied, “we had a detailed discussion about Israel’s security needs, including replenishing Iron Dome.” President Biden made a similar point Thursday evening from the White House.


    “The Prime Minister also shared with me his appreciation for the Iron Dome system, which our nations developed together and which has saved the lives of countless Israeli citizens, both Arab and Jew,” Mr. Biden said. “I assured him of my full support to replenish Israel’s Iron Dome system to ensure its defenses and security in the future.”


    The Israeli Air Force said that during the recent hostilities about 4,340 rockets had been fired at Israel from the Gaza Strip. About 640 of those were failed launches that wound up falling in Gaza. The Iron Dome defense had an “an intercept rate of approximately 90%,” the Israeli Air Force said, meaning thousands of incoming rockets were destroyed in midair, before they had a chance to damage Israeli targets.


    Republican Senators Rubio, Cruz, Cotton, and Hagerty have introduced the Emergency Resupply for Iron Dome Act of 2021, which their press release describes as “a bill to authorize the Executive Branch to redirect U.S. foreign assistance to help Israel replenish its highly-effective missile defense interceptors.”

    I'm not sure how many they actually stopped of those numbers, since they did not even try to stop the missiles that were not on a trajectory to hit population areas.
    That is not criticizing the defense, just pointing out the poor manufacturing of the Iranian missiles. When the Americans launch missiles then it is a big story when one misses it's target.

    Unguided rockets are area suppression weapons. They are not precision weapons.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.

    The so called squad has basically eliminated the US's support of maintaining Israel's Iron Dome. This is kind of telling as the Iron Dome is strictly a defensive system. It has no offensive capabilities..


    All it does is protect innocent civilians from terrorist attacks. Even Palastininans living in Israel.
