    The iron dome enables the genocide.

    Not really a hard choice for sane people.

      So basically, your perspective is that a system that protects Israeli civilians is immoral because every single Israeli is immoral? Yeah, that seems very sane. /s

        Defense of a state that is actively engaging in genocide is a problem.

        The Iron Dome stops attacks on military targets, blame Israel for hiding behind civilians as it launches its missiles and drones from US provided safety.

          We do blame Israel. In the mean time, this piece of technology is actively saving the lives of innocent people. Of all the weird things to be upset about, the one that’s explicitly defensive maybe the weirdest.

          This is bordering on misinformation but I’m not going to act on that.

          The Iron Dome is primarily used to protect civilians, although it may also incidentally or occasionally be used to protect military targets as well.

          Israel does not use its own citizens as cover for military operations. Here is a map of military bases in Israel, which are separate from civilians as required by international law.

          There is no similar map of military sites in Gaza because Hamas uses civilian cover for military operations, including launching international attacks, from schools, mosques, churches, and hospitals.
