    Israel has the iron dome, it’s not for lack of trying.

    Iron Dome has intercepted some 5000 rockets in the past decade. With each of those 5000 rockets assumed to be a civilian casualty (which, considering the casualty rates of Hamas rocket attacks per-rocket, you will agree is VERY generous, I’m sure), would you like to give us a ballpark estimate for the civilian deaths caused by Israel and Hamas?

      A rocket can kill way more than one person.

      Are you saying that if a man shoots at his wife and misses, he should get off scot free?

        A rocket can kill way more than one person.

        Can. On average a rocket made by Hamas kills one person per 100 rockets fired. They’re not exactly cutting-edge weapons.

        Are you saying that if a man shoots at his wife and misses, he should get off scot free?

        No, I’m saying of the man who shot one person, and the man who shot ten people in the same time frame, one is much more urgent to address. Furthermore, this whole thing came up because you claimed that Israel bombing more civilians than Hamas was ‘misinformation’.

        tl;dr; 3000 Black Rockets of Hamas have not caused the obliteration of 2% of the Israeli population yet.
