How effective is Israel's Iron Dome anti missile/rocket defence system? If we are to believe what is being printed by the western media, it is as good as 90% effective, ie Israel claimed to have shot down 90% of the rockets launched by Hamas. How believeable is this claim?
Look at the numbers, Hamas claimed to have launched more than 3,000 rockets into Israel. Some sources said 4,000 rockets were fired. Ok, plus and minus, about 3,000 is about just right. If Israel's claim of shooting down 90% of the rockets it would mean about 2,700 rockets intercepted. It would also mean that Israel fired at least 3,000 missiles. It could not be that every missile would hit its target.
Question, does Israel have 3,000 missiles to fire and how much does each missile cost? Assuming each missile costs US$100K, 3,000 missiles will cost the Israelis US$300m! If the price is double, it would mean US$600m!
Does Israel carry 3,000 missiles in its inventory and all ready to fire?
The next question, under normal operation, it would be considered very successful if the hit rate is 50%. Assuming that this was the case, a very generous hit rate, it would mean 1,500 rockets got through. Assuming 50% of these rockets hit their targets, it would mean 750 targets destroyed or damaged.
What is the true picture of the success raid of the Hamas rockets and how much damage did they do to Israel? And how many rockets were really intercepted successfully? Israel reported only 12 casualties. This means that either the rockets were all duds or blanks, or the chosen race are protected by God and nothing can kill them. This is a real miracle. 3,000 to 4,000 rockets could only killed 12 people of the chosen race!
Can you imagine what the sky would look like with a few hundred rockets flying at one time and equal number of anti rocket missiles flying at them? The picture above at most showed about 30 anti rocket missiles in the sky. The rockets coming in were too small and no smoke trail and thus difficult to see.
How successful was the Hamas rocket attack on Israel?
The moral of this genocide on the Palestinians is that no country must be allowed to possess overwhelming military superiority, especially in weapons and fire power. Countries like Israel and the USA think with their fire power, they can kill and destroy their enemies without themselves being destroyed. That is the main reason why the Americans would not allow North Korea, Iran or any of their enemy nations to have nuclear weapons while they want to have all the nuclear weapons to destroy their enemies. It is also the same thinking in the Israelis, everyday thinking of destroying the neighbouring Arab countries when the latter became stronger, and also wanting to destroy Iran's nuclear sites.
All because they are more superior in military and think they can hit others, others cannot hit back. If they are not militarily stronger than the Arabs, they would not dare to think of attacking others. Now they are calling the shots, when to stop killing the Palestinians and no country can stop them from doing so with the Americans and the West backing them up. The Arab countries and Iran must acquire more military weapons if they want peace and not be victims of American/Israeli strikes and genocides.

US warship transits South China Sea to challenge ‘unlawful maritime claims’
Freedom of Navigation trips into the South China Sea are not so but a challenge to Chinese island building. China must counter such challenge by challenging them an drive them off the South China Sea, in the same way Putin did in the Black Sea.

Right. If you do the sums correctly, the figures do not add up. The question then is if the conflict continues, how many more of the 'Iron Dome' missiles are left? And Hamas has yet to fire the real big ones. Hamas is estimated to have at least 10,000 rockets on hand.
Those that were fired into Israel were said to be cheap home made stuff costing a couple of hundred US$. Hamas used that as a lure to exhaust the Iron Dome missiles, after which the real destructive ones will be gifted to Israel if the conflict continues.
Never underestimate the ingenuity of people under siege mentality, who, like the North Vietnamese, used their intellects to fashion inter-connecting tunnels, safe from air raids and just big enough for Asian bodies to move about but impossible to enter for bigger Whites and Blacks.
Now, let us talk about the ceasefire. Why call it after 11 days? Israel will never agree to a ceasefire knowing they still have the upper hand in aerial superiority. The real reason they probably agree is that they must be critically in need of restocking their missiles, which comes from the US$735 million arms replenishment just given by the USA.
Further, under pressure from countries around the world, the USA must have also pressured Israel to accept the ceasefire. Not doing anything means they have no moral authority left to accuse China of human rights abuses in Xinjiang. The USA and the West must shed some crocodile tears to keep their image of love for Muslims.
If the figures reported are believable, Israel would have fired at least 2,700 missiles to take out 90% pf Hamas 3000 rockets so far, assuming every missile hits it's target. It does not add up at all. And of course only 12 people in Israel died from the rocket attacks that got through?. Believe in the Western propaganda if you like. When Hamas sink the myth of the 'Iron Dome' theory, thing will get really interesting.
They said agree to the ceasefire but did not determine when. It could be another week, another month. It is like agree but not agree.
Why John Pilger called them lying machine, just like the AngloSaxons.
When the USA and the West have restocked Israel's weapons, missiles and bombs, the ceasefire will end. Just wait!
Now the USA is concentrating on South China Sea and wants peace in Ukraine with Russia and keeping Israel safe for the time being. Russia should know what is in the minds of the USA and the West. After South China Sea, it will be back to business in Ukraine.
Russia had already been used as a political football by the USA and the West. Russia was kicked out of G8 and they must remember that. Russia had to swallow the USA's unilateral action by withdrawing from their Arms Limitation Treaty. And what about those sanctions imposed on Russia? Russia must not be fooled by the USA to agree on anything.
They treat the Russians as the pariahs of the white race. They prefer the Indians to the Russians.
The Indians can never be a threat to them while they keep flattering the Indians that it is the largest democracy but not saying that it is a failed democracy, a failed state.
Although India has not released any official statements about the size of its nuclear arsenal, recent estimates suggest that India has 160 nuclear weapons and has produced enough weapons-grade plutonium for up to 161-200 nuclear weapons. India has conducted nuclear weapons tests in a pair of series namely Pokhran I and Pokhran II.
"If there is a hell on earth, it is the lives of children in Gaza today," Guterres said.
"The hostilities have caused serious damage to vital civilian infrastructure in Gaza, including roads and electricity lines, contributing to a humanitarian emergency. Crossings into Gaza have been closed and power shortages are affecting water supplies," Guterres added.
Hundreds of buildings and homes have been destroyed or damaged, Guterres said, and airstrikes have damaged several hospitals. About 50,000 people were seeking shelter in UN schools, mosques and other places with little access to water, food, hygiene or health services, Guterres added.

To the Americans and Israelis, oh you are so wonderful, so generous, so kind, champions of human rights and full of mercy. Your white God will bless you.
No forget that were it not for Israel's help to build the Singapore Armed Forces at a desperate time when no other country was willing to help us, Singapore's development could have turned out very different. Given this well-known history, Israel's capabilities enhance the SAF's deterrence, at least psychologically. Imagine where we would have been if Israel had lost the Six-Day War or otherwise proven militarily incompetent?
Not too many years ago, a terrorist group, no doubt inspired by Hamas, was caught plotting to launch rockets at Singapore from Batam. We were fortunate to have the cooperation of the Indonesian authorities to stop them.
