i'm sure if they were bombing children on purpose they'd tweet about it

I like how even in their “we don’t bomb kids” video the pilot tries to talk command into bombing. “Moving too fast to be kids” gtfoh

there’s a finite number of iron dome missiles you can store up and it’s not exactly a 1:1 ratio so eventually hamas rockets are going to start hitting less valuable targets in numbers

i wonder if iron dome actually has the capability to prioritize targets or if it's just the launch rate

It calculates the trajectory and intercepts if it is going to land inside the designated protection area.

yeah the rockets are basically just spitting in the face of the person who is strangling you to death. they know for every rocket that gets through the israelis will blow up a hospital or apartment building but they dont care because they are dying anyway. better to force your attacker to kill you quickly than allow them to slowly kill you on their own timetable

Sometimes prison guards ignore that someone has a weapon because they know the punishment will be worse and easier to justify abuse after the weapon is used.

Nobody resists colonialism and occupation with the mindset that they are inevitably marching to their graves and only acting out of spite for the oppressor. The aim of resistance is liberation, not to be a nuisance, and anticolonial struggles have always achieved victory primarily through inflicting an economic cost so great that it is no longer feasible to maintain colonial relations. If you look at the casualty figures for any independence war they are almost always going to be heavily skewed in favor of the far more powerful colonizer, but that does not nonetheless make them not wars.

The property damage, economic cost, and terror inflicted by the rockets is not negligible even if they're not that powerful or don't cause as many fatalities. As if the real point of a war is to kill as many people as possible. The aim of every war is to achieve a political outcome. For Israel the aim of their war is to exterminate Palestinians as a people, and for Hamas their aim is to survive with dignity and defeat the oppressor.
