Taking this into account, what the Pals are doing doesn't seem quite so stupid:
Israel's war on terror is manifestly uneconomic: Iron Dome launches a $70,000 missile against every $200 Qassam fired. This celestial confrontation between cutting edge technology and a primitive pipe was preceded by hundreds of millions of dollars, invested in development and operational implementation.
So far, they've launched over 100 Qassams. If only a single Arrow was launched against each, Israel has spent $7 million dollars just on defensive missiles that have to be replaced, where the Pals have spent $20,000 on rockets that probably wouldn't have hit anything anyway.

Even the Israelis are sensing this. And worried about it.

This is an interesting article.

haaretz.com

Haaretz is the voice of the non wingers in Israel. They have warned and warned and warned...........the Israeli right and far right don't listen. Just as Bush/Cheney wouldn't listen when they were told the invasion of Iraq was a mistake. Israel has laid a very dangerous course for itself.
