Ganging Up On Israel

Have you ever had a neighbor shout out that they want you to die? Do they teach their children that their greatest possible accomplishment would be to kill you and people like you?

Sara Carter says that’s how it is for Israelis. Most of their neighbors in Gaza and the West Bank want Jews dead. In fact, many parents in those areas see killing Jews as the highest possible goal for their kids.

Israeli Knesset Member Ohad Tal joins Carter to share what it was like to live through Iran’s weekend barrage of hundreds of missiles and drones aimed at his country. He and his family not only had to endure the incoming weapons, but also their Palestinian neighbors running into the streets screaming for Jews to be killed.

Hamas Raiders Invade Israel!

Raiders from Hamas in the Gaza and Palestine launched a surprise invasion of Israel at the crack of dawn on Saturday, sending thousands of missiles to disarm the Iron Dome defense system while also attacking and terrorizing civilians by land, air and sea.  Hundreds were killed and Israel vowed a swift and ferocious response.

It’s apparent that Iran provoked the invasion, as it represents the Shia Moslems factions that are predominant in the Palestine and Gaza regions. Israel has a negotiated peace in place with the Sunni Moslems that represent the majority across Suaid Arabia and most of the Sahara region. Here’s more from Steve Turley.

Civilization Vs. Tribal Barbarism

As rockets rise from Palestinian territory, Israel’s defensive Iron Dome system activates to intercept them. The scene is captured in a “photo for the times,” as Bill Whittle call it.

What he sees in this current conflict is a battle between ancient tribal barbarism and a more humane 21st century way of life. Whittle is joined by the “Right Angle” crew of Stephen Green and Scott Ott to discuss the concept.

Israel’s Iron Dome Defense

What is Israel’s Iron Dome defense system? Developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, these mobile launchers sense short-range rockets and artillery shells, intercepting and exploding them mid-flight. The system was created as a defensive countermeasure to the rocket threat against Israel’s civilian population on its northern and southern borders. It is designed to intercept threats up to 70 kilometers in all-weather situations.

Here is footage of an Iron Dome mobile launcher taking out a barrage of rockets fired over Israel. In the abstract, it looks almost idyllic, if the incoming volleys weren’t so deadly and potentially destructive. H/T Blazing Cat Fur
