“Defense”
Yeah, Israel has been doing a lot of “defending” lately.
Defense for democracy, but in reality it attacks as well.
Well I see our healthcare money is being put to good use enforcing apartheid
But you see, the people they’re committing war crimes against are brown! So that makes it okay!
ahhh, I almost forgot! Thanks!
Our money (which is actually not really ours) is wasted on these things, instead our skills are used to accomplish such things. A cabbage there is peace.
Honestly, I much prefer this. If they didn’t have the Iron Dome, Israel would have even more excuses to roll tanks into the last vestiges of Palestinian land. Not that the current situation is anything but a shitshow, but without the Iron Dome it would be so much more of a shit show.
It may be, but remember that there are remote controlled unmanned drones and fighters… So there may also be remote-controlled tanks (they are experimentally).
Wonder if it has a low setting, so you can throw up a piece of bread and catch your toast 1.5 seconds later.
Probably not. Someone already did an experiment like that and basically, the energy density of a laser is too high. It will burn the hell out of the surface before it even touches the inside of the bread.

In the article it is reported that they had to under-size the laser power because it was too powerful 😅
