Every country deserves security, and those who violate that security should be universally condemned! This should not be variable, we are either secure, or we are headed towards WWIII...that should be obvious! Security was guaranteed when Israel allowed Hamas to move back into Gaza. That was the condition for their return; which they swore they would do.

Now Israel has been hit by over 700 Rockets, that they were promised would never fly; and those who swore they would never commit said violence is now claiming credit for that violence!
In life we have ONE thing that shows we are a MAN...our Word! It should never be given quickly; and once given, it MUST be our Bond! Anything less, and we are no longer MEN; and we have lowered ourselves to the level of animals!
Rocket fire continued in earnest from Gaza toward various locations in southern and central Israel, including toward Israel's international airport. The commercial center of Tel Aviv and Ben-Gurion airport also heard warning sirens Friday but these rockets were intercepted and there was no disturbance to Israel's air traffic. Hamas says it intends to fire rockets at the airport and warned foreign airlines to stop flying to Israel.
Here is a writeup from channel 12 out of Westchester on the latest in Gaza:

The aggressor is the one responsible for all violence needed to resolve a violent situation. That is why shooting a burglar in self defense is admissible in court. You did not initiate the violence, only responded to it appropriately!
Israel is facing a burglar, that they allowed to move in next door; after being assured that they would follow the Law! It is obvious that the Burglar lied, and needs to go to jail, or at least to move far away. It is also established Law that the Burglar is responsible for anyone hurt during that Burglary. This has been universally true, in most countries; across the World. Lerner correctly placed the blame on Hamas, who claimed responsibility for the attacks; and explained the underlying cause.
Lerner blamed Hamas for the death of innocent bystanders by firing from heavily populated areas.
Israel's military "uses its weapons to defend its civilians. Hamas uses its civilians to defend its weapons," he said.
Where is the outrage in the international community? Why is it okay for Hamas to attack Israel? Wrong is wrong, that is not conditional of who is involved! If Israel attacked Hamas, the UN would be all over Israel; so WHY isn't the UN all over Hamas for attacking Israel? Violence MUST be universally condemned, and support from other countries must be withdrawn. I do NOT understand why it becomes acceptable to attack a country, simply because someone does not like that country! Unless all countries are safe, None are safe; and war Must follow!
The response from Israel has been to build an anti missile system, which may resolve the attack damage within Israel:
Israel has shot down at least 110 incoming rockets thus far with its "Iron Dome" defense system.
We should offer them help on their Iron Dome system, because it is the right thing to do! Everyone should be safe from attack, and this includes Israel too; all or none, (and none means WWIII)!
sir smithlabs! I heard that their iron dome system was much more capable than our patriot system, is that correct? But anyway everyone expects Israel to get hit by rockets and bombers and such so they aren't outraged by those but of course they should be!

The Iron dome is a much shorter range system than the patriot, as the iron domes is made for smaller rockets. It is doing very well. The Patriot is for medium range missiles and has been very effective in that area. There is another system, called Archer that is for ICBMs that has a contact kill above 100 miles! That is like shooting a bullet, with another bullet....

sir smithlabs! oh ok. The Archer system...does that mean 100 miles what..in altitude?

Yes, 100 miles Up. NASTY system for certain!

what, it actually works well with a high percentage of hits?

Well, they had a contact kill, but operationally, they plan on a large HE warhead with shrapnel, supposed to be lethal to 500 feet. Overkill with their accuracy, but a nice backup. They also plan to launch three at each threat. Very cheap compared to an ICBM...not even counting the damage the ICBM would cause.

sir smithlabs! where do you find out this information?

Trade magazines. That is where engineers publish what they do for other engineers to keep up. NASA Tech Briefs and aerospace magazines, and there was a writeup in the COTS (commercial off the shelf) journal on the radar trade off system. They direct the missile close, then revert to their internal radar, for final guidance.
They radar illuminate from the ground to help the missile's onboard system. They also overdrive the onboard radar at a burnout level to assist in lockup. They will blow up the radar anyway, so why try to save it?
I suspect they are using the white noise radar system, so the missile will not know it is being painted, so there will be no threat detection.

@abusereports why are you attacking @informationwar? They should be assisted, not downvoted. I have not seen them violate any rules.
This looks like you are censoring them, is that true? I have moved most of my content to weku because of censorship and bullies, PLEASE tell me you are not one of these!
Or is it time to dispose of a year and a half of trust and work, and leave here?

I pray none one violate the rules of violating to fight each other because i read recently the number of countries that have nuclear weapons for example russia having more than 5000 nuclear weapon and U.S.A more than a thousand. The way i am seeing it, all the countries are preparing for WWIII and it will happen soob.

Stupid people with weapons of great power are the greatest threat to safety on the planet! If they would just do their jobs, and focus on helping to take care of their own citizens, inside their own borders; we will see peace and prosperity Worldwide! If not, we will see death and destruction following WWIII, and the end of days!

Very stupid thinking they are wise using everything they have to big weapons of mass destroyer. I don't know where they put their conscience of destroying their fellow men.

They do not think of anyone else. What is good for them, is good period. They think they are smarter, and better than anyone else.
Evil people!
