(62,297 posts)A 50 fold increase from the "trickle" of 2 rockets a day is a "rain."
I agree that they're junk rockets which is why I say that the reaction is disproportionate. Let them run out of rockets, it is only a matter of time. So far only one Israeli citizen has died from the barrage, rain, large, whatever, 100 rockets a day. Let it go on for weeks, until Hamas runs out, maybe you lose ten Israeli citizens at most. Then what? What is Hamas going to do then?
The reason Israel doesn't do it is because it needs a pretext to take out the tunnels, so at the height of the rocket barrage, oh sorry, you don't like that, should I say "little trickle of attempted junk rockets made in Iran which is a 50 fold increase on regular rocket launches."
Little trickle. What a joke. 100 a day is not a little trickle. That's 100 alarms every day. That's 1 every 15 minutes on average. People in areas where the rockets fall down suffer from PTSD having to run to bomb shelters every 15 minutes.
