This is a brilliant counter argument for stupid reporters:
If Iron Dome is so successful, what’s the purpose of killing so many in retaliation, especially “human shield” casualties?

Tweeter Robbie Guy and all around cool guy took him down:
@antderosa if you had an AMAZING jock strap, reducing pain by 90%, can I still keep kicking you in the balls without you retaliating?

His reply was deleted, but it has already made its way to one of the internet’s most famous meme site, Memebase:
It looks like a qualification for a career in journalism is an inability to think.
They’re not stupid, they’re evil. This question would never have been raised if the situation were reversed.
Aussie Dave quoted extensively at The Blaze, Glen Beck’s site –
“Pro-Israel blogger Aussie Dave who found the video tells TheBlaze, “Besides the blatant hypocrisy and irony on display, the mere fact that a group of Arab students at an Israeli university can freely demonstrate shows what a vibrant democracy Israel is, and not the ‘Apartheid State’ those who demonize Israel would have you believe.”
On his blog, he called it the “ironic moment of the day” and quipped: “I guess they won’t be boycotting Israeli bomb shelters any time soon.”
Weird. I saved this on the page with the film, and it ended up here.
BTW, Back has an amazing piece in support of Israel. One of the few, in this era of covering up historical anti-smitism by both side, who realized that anti-semitism didn’t start with the Holocaust.
Ever since he got rid of ID, the comments have been whacked.
De Rosa is only the latest media moron to learn the hard way that the Internet is forever.
And furthermore, note the question-begging in assuming that the assault on Gaza launch sites and ammo dumps is “retaliation” and that endangering “human shields” is Israel’s tactic not Hamas’s. Is this a record for the most idiocy in the fewest words?
I should clarify that the attacks could be seen as a kind of “retaliation”, but killing civilians is not part of the plan.
haha see this is the kind of responses we need. Dont answer the question, wallop them in the face to make them look stupid to the neutrals.
