Maybe if Israel didn't feel immortal, they'd actually negotiate.
Incidentally, this is not an important issue, but if you hold the lives of Israeli citizens as being that much more important than those of Palestinians, it still makes sense to undermine the Iron Dome. The dome is the reason Hamas has long resorted to the tactic of launching scattershot missiles all over the place, because it's something of a counter to what the dome is good at, and this is a major source of the (relatively sparse) civilian casualties on the Israeli side. Without the dome, or with it in a very reduced state, Hamas would be in a better position to use missiles in a much more targeted way.
I think her tweet is bullshit, but like, if it isn't and you give them $500m for iron dome that's $500m they don't have to spend on iron dome and can spend elsewhere ๐ค
Yes, that's a much more important point, I just wanted to add what I mentioned to advance the point that there is no level at all on which her argument makes sense unless you are prioritizing the lives of IOF soldiers over Palestinian children.
Those kids can't write her future Presidential campaign a check for $500k, so... ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐คทโโ๏ธ
