Israel decided to invest in a automated solution for shooting down hamasi rockets and minimise their own casualties. Hamas has done shit all to protect Palestinians, I can't recall a single proactive step from them even close to rivaling the dome. My point wasn't Israel is clean, it was there's an already present imbalance in motivations related to the deaths on each side and saying "more Palestinians are dead" so Israel bad misses the f*cking point of how many Israelis would be dead if Israel gave as little thought about them as hamas does for Palestinians. Only a charlatans tries to attribute any moral superiority to wither side here, they both have and will continue to commit warcrimes. Neither is any better than the other and both absolutely suck.
I mean how the fuck would Palestine pay for something like the dome? Or even install it in the Gaza strip, it is completely cut off from the rest of the world. Even in the Westbank Palestine doesn't have the ability to use a big chunk of their land for economic purposes because the Israeli forces keep occupying it, so again, how would they fund such a system?
Are you kidding me? You are saying the Palestinians don't care because they don't have an Iron Dome? Do you know how much money it costs to operate something like that? Israel has received billions of dollars through military aid from western powers, Palestinian people don't even have enough food or medicine and you expect them to build a multi-million dollar defense system?
