We watch the Palestinians lob primitive rockets into Israel only to have 90% of those rockets blunted by Israel's "Iron Dome" anti-missile system. Then we see the Israelis return fire - missiles, artillery, smart bombs. Two hundred dead Palestinians to ten dead Israelis. Yet, the Palestinians continue to swing back. If you wonder "why?" then you've never really fought; you've never really faced a bully and committed your soul to standing up to him.
The Palestinians exist in a 13-square-mile concentration camp called "The Gaza Strip." They are born into this captivity. A land, sea, and air blockade governs their entire lives. You might call it Israel's "other iron done." (Speaking of "iron domes": The two million Palestinians clinging to life in the Gaza Strip equals the number of men and women kept in America's prisons.)
America, which considers Israel one of its closest friends, condones Israel's human rights abuses against the Palestinian people, even as the world community objects. It appears we do not care as much about people's "living free" as we pretend. But, we like those "iron domes." They sure do work.
