Apparently it didnt do too well defending. I read it reported a 10-15% intercept rate. Of course it may not be the system inherently, as I also heard reports they ran real low on the ammo for these systems.

He was against the funding mechanism (deficit spending), not the Iron Dome System itself. If he was against the system, he would have said so, as PLENTY of people in Congress oppose openly certain weapons systems - remember “Star Wars”.

The United States should not be funding other country’s militaries.

How much damage was done by their rockets? I had heard most of the killings were done by ground operations.

I'll ask Rand Paul's rhetorical question:
What is the constitutional requirement for the United States to fund the defense of foreign nations?
To: USA-FRANCE
The story of Iron Dome failure in recent days simply linked to the fact that the terrorists attacked an Iron Dome base in Israel near the Erez crossing to Israel.
This allowed the rockets to have a better chance of hitting Israel.

The missle detection system, Iron Dome, didn’t do a good job of detecting militants on paragliders.

I haven’t read on how or who enabled the paragliders to launch. Have you read anything yet?
To: USA-FRANCE
Not really. By that reckoning, why isn’t Israel or Zimbabwe funding our border defense ?

How many Israeli soldiers fought alongside US soldiers in Korea?
How many Israeli soldiers fought alongside US soldiers in Vietnam?
How many Israeli soldiers fought alongside US soldiers in Afghanistan?
How many Israeli soldiers fought alongside US soldiers in Iraq?
How many Israeli soldiers fought alongside US soldiers in Syria?

So you really hate them.
You’ve picked a side.

Israel doesn’t kill women and children and cut off babies heads. Hamas conducted a Pogrom on Israel. Thier is only one side here.
