But missile defence won’t work. At least that was what all the leftists were saying in the 1980s and 1990s.

By shooting down more than 90 percent of its targets, the system is ensuring Israel's decisive technological edge that has helped it operate virtually unhindered in Gaza. And what would have happened if the rockets the Palis shot had hit their targets? Then you would have seen a real unhindered operation in Gaza.

A cartoonist named Tom Toles constantly made fun of Reagan. He won awards for it.
But look at who won the day

Some of the leftists would say — see ... it doesn’t work ... it only destroys 90% of the missiles. :-)

What is needed is something that will turn the rockets back on their launchers. Then when Gaza is wiped out it will be of their own doing and have nothing to do with Israel.

The Iron Dome is great,But wait till they see Israel’s Iron Frying Pan.

This guy Toles is a scumbag of the highest order. I wrote him an email, and he actually sent a snarky reply back, about this cartoon:
This is the guy:

Liberals in the 1980s derided President’s Reagan’s vision of a ABM as a fantasy.
In real life, as Israel demonstrates, practical defense against enemy rocket attacks is not a luxury; its a necessity.

No defense system will ever provide 100% protection. But its better than a condom in preventing pregnancy. ;-)

Yeah, I do recall that. However, of course, all that leftist claptrap about the infeasibility about missile defense has since been flushed down the memory hole, and they’ve “moved on” to other lies, since then, global warming being the latest. The left glides from lie to lie, with ease.

The article misses the mark. The iron dome has intercepted over 800 missiles.
