What happened with Iron Dome?
I originally read that it was "overwhelmed." Now I'm seeing stories that it was "down." Was it purposefully disabled to allow the attacks?

I hope Israel is trying to kill people and break things.

I have no knowledge whether that $6B was fundamental in financing this attack, by the way, and I'm not claiming that it was.
Just that the Iranians seem to think they can do whatever they want with the money, despite what we're told.
Of course, why would we ever distrust the Iranians, right?

Ironic, since you’re the one taking the ayatollah’s version of things over the public agreement between the West and Qatar.
While the fungibility argument could be made six months from now, there simply wasn’t time for there to be a causal connection between that money and this operation.
What I really find tedious though, is that so much of Magat Twitter didn’t even bother condemning Hamas, they fell straight into their Blame America First schtick.

I’ve been all day in the hospital. Just returned. Back again early tomorrow. No time to respond here. But things are tense.
All my family are all ok.

Very glad to hear it. It must be stressful.

I have a friend (urologist) who's in Israel right now. I asked him how things are, and he said, "We're in the North, and it's business as usual right now."
That was at 8AM Chicago time...

I read that too. I’m very curious.

Interesting, when I Google iron dome failure I get old stories of it failing. Maybe it’s not that stable.

Yes, they need to be deprogrammed.

Apparently the system can be overwhelmed and they sent thousands of rockets.

By the way, I wonder if/how Israeli retaliation will be affected by the fact that Hamas took all those hostages?
I’ve read dozens and even hundreds of hostages were taken. There doesn’t seem to be any clarity on that yet.

Of course, there are other theories….

Gaza is 17sq miles, half the size of Naperville, IL.
150k soldiers? Are they planning a house to house search?

Would that be a bad idea?

Probably find a lot of rockets etc that way but probably few living hostages.

My bad those dimensions are Gaza city not the whole strip. The strip is 4 Napervilles.
Still it’s narrow, between 6-12 km. With only 20k soldiers you could literally stand shoulder to shoulder across the strip at it’s widest point.

To them, she's just another Western or Jewish whore, deserving of whatever was done to her.
