    How many have Hamas fired into Israel/ been caught in the iron dome the past few years?

      I don’t have numbers to hand but I’d posit a guess that it’s significantly less.

      Don’t get me wrong here, I’m not trying to defend them. What happened last week is pretty indefensible by any reasonable person. I can see the motivations and frustrations but it’ was flat out wrong. Terrorism. However, as a democratic nation with a much more organised military and government, a lot more is expected of Israel. They have every right to seek some recompense but they’ve taken it too far. Further than the US and UK did.

      5,000+ - on the first day.

      However, they are far less powerful compared to a JDAM or as accurate as a guided missile.

        5000 in a day. That’s a wild amount. The lack of accuracy is what makes them terrorists.
