As daily rocket attacks from Gaza leapt from a handful to hundreds earlier this month, the vaunted system was deployed to near universal praise, intercepting an estimated 400 potentially deadly missiles. In an exclusive interview with FoxNews.com, "Ari," an Iron Dome engineer whose real name is being withheld, described what it is like to be part of the team of cutting edge technology developers, and the challenges faced by the team at Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, which worked with two other Israeli companies, Elta, and mPrest Systems on the program. “I’m an engineer and not a politician, but I can tell you there were a tremendous amount of lives saved," Ari said of the Iron Dome, a system for detecting launches, determining the rockets' trajectory and intercepting those that pose a threat with counter-missiles fired from strategically-located batteries.

Quoting: IronCross Who funded Iron Dome? The American Taxpayers. Do you even know what kind of missiles are being fired at Israel? Very primitive and harmless. That's cuz Hamas used kids and mommies as human shield, you twat! You know the Islamo-fascist dhimmi shills pop out out of the crevices with same old "talking points". But he mentioned Palestinian civilian (or as Hamas calls them, human shields): 1. During the bombing of Germany, Allied Powers -- a.k.a. the Good Guys -- killed 10 civilians for every Nazi soldier. And that was WITHOUT Nazi hiding their weapons in civilian infrastructure like Islamic terrorists do, mind you. I mean, Nazi were evil fucks, but even they had somne semblance of military honour not to hide behind the skirts of their own women and children like that. Still a 10:1 ratio of civilian-to-Nazi. 2. During recent Gaza Operaton, 2/3 of the dead in Gaza were terrorists or operatives. Two-thirds -- and that's DESPITE the most cynical use of human-shields by Hamas, Islamic Jihad. That's despite the infamous Pallywood Productions who recycle pictures of dead Syrians, who fake dead man who 30 seconds later was accidentally shown to be walking, and so on. Puts the whole "Ebbyl Zionist eating babais" thing in perspective, doesn't it? |

Like feeding American children who are in poverty right now. Help a lot of poor American children, do you? Or is that you really couldn't give a fuck about American children, you just use them as an excuse to hate Jews and would like to see them bombed out of existence? How very "Palestinian" of you.
