See how sophisticated the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) are.... This is how the Iron Dome missile defense system works:
I just hope that all stakeholders, including the media, should be careful of their language. It's just ridiculous how the symmetry/asymmetry dichotomy is often missed out in discussions and analyses. That is, Israel is an established state with defense capabilities supplied by the US and European allies; while Hamas is a political movement with no the same capacity to defend their territory and rights to self-determination.
Why are ground-launched rockets of Hamas being called 'terrorism'? And why are airstrikes of Israeli Defence Forces being called 'right to self-defense'?
I'm also worried that even 'the religious' card (between fundamentalisms of Christianity and Islam) is being played out in all these propaganda and psychological warfares — a conflict which to me is essentially 'political'. These clash of fundamentalisms, and on top of it the real deaths and misery in these conflicts, dig deeper the establishment of a generation of haters.
Oh, dear humanity!
