MIT's Ted Postol Presents More Evidence On Iron Dome Failures
Lasrick (2629253) writes In a controversial article last week, MIT physicist Ted Postol again questioned whether Israel's vaunted Iron Dome rocket defense system actually works. This week, he comes back with evidence in the form of diagrams, photos of Iron Dome intercepts and contrails, and evidence on the ground to show that Iron Dome in fact is effective only about 5% of the time. Postol believes the real reason there are so few Israeli casualties is that Hamas rockets have very small warheads (only 10 to 20 pounds), and also Israel's outstanding civil defense system, which includes a vast system of shelters and an incredibly sophisticated rocket attack warning system (delivered through smart phones, among other ways).
Here it comes, all the reactionary Jew hatred posts...
No one seems so interested in the fact that Hamas sites rocket launchers, military command and control, and military supplies in private homes, hosptials, datycares, and schools...
The so-called Hamas "Human Shield" gets almost no attention, using women, children, and old men as "shields"...
No mention of indescriminant non-targeting of rockets into both Muslim and Jewis areas of Isreal by Hamas.
Oh, but those "goose stepping" Jews , bent on exterminating every Muslim in Gaza...
Who is it that has the destruction of Isreal as their official main goal? These are the people that want PEACE?
If you want news from today, you have to come back tomorrow.
