It is really funny in a perverse sort of way. You guys, claiming the Dome is too expensive or that it just doesn't work, are at the same time bitching about the "asymmetry" in the damage and injuries. Meanwhile, the Israeli people sure as hell look at the Dome as a modern-day miracle that saves lives and allows them to have at least some comfort in knowing the likelihood of these terrorist attacks failing. Claims for damage compensation when contrasted with prior years is at 25% of those attacks, even though the number of rocket attacks is far greater. There is no question it works, and the savings from reduction of damage likely offsets the cost of the Iron Dome consumables.
