Watch this chain gun anti-missile operation, otherwise known as the Iron Dome, protecting Israel. This is the Israeli Phalanx Close-in air defense system. The Phalanx CIWS (pronounced “sea-wiz”) droids nicknamed “R2-D2s” seek out incoming missiles and torch them. And while they are amazing, just look at how many missiles they are neutralizing. Wouldn’t all that money be better spent on schools, hospitals and developing some businesses for the Palestinians to dig themselves out of their intentional poverty? Yes, intentional, the rest of the wealthy Arab world could have made them self-sufficient years ago, but it suits their purpose to have Israel as a permanent Boogieman so bad actors fund Hamas and make sure they have enough rockets and missiles to keep the Israeli population bracing for impact.
