, killerzX said: hamas/palestinians have fired more than 8000 rockets into Israel in the last 3 years alone. thats more than the germans did to England in of of world war II. |
I'm not sure about your statistics, but newsru.co.il gives following data for last 9 months of 2012:
November (as per November 15th). 116 attacks, 352 rockets launched, 96 intercepted. 3 dead, 19 wounded.
October. 48 attacks, 127 rockets launched, 8 intercepted. 5 wounded.
July. 15 attacks, 22 rockets launched, 1 intercepted. No casualties.
June. 42 attacks, 112 rockets launched, 15 intercepted. 6 wounded.
May. 4 attacks, 4 rockets launched. No casualties.
March. 104 attacks, 214 rockets launched, 66 intercepted. 5 wounded.
Total for 9 months:
831 rockets were launched in 329 attacks, out of which 186 were intercepted (22%), the rest scored 3 dead and 35 wounded. Average intensity of attacks is ~1 attack (2-3 rocket per attack) per day.
Stunning "intensity" and "overwhelming" effectivity :D If Jews are going to somehow raise effectivity of their air defense system (Iron Dome) from atrocious 22% to smth more bearable, they might have never bothered with rocket attacks again. Though they claim they do target selection depending on where the rocket is going to land (plausible and explains low inteception rate), it's clear they miss quite a lot, which is unfortunate given all rockets are variants of Grad, i.e. easy, slow and unguided target fired at super-slow intensity.
I bet Germans despite how low effectivity of their rocket attacks were, are head and shoulder above this^. What makes your comparison is even less valid is various Grad rockets HE warhead weight is in 18-20kg range, while ballistic and, I should stress it specifically, guided missiles warhead Germans fired at Britan weights smth like 700-1000kg.
So you're just overdramatizing the situation here with unneeded comparisons, vicitimazing Israel.
UPD: lol, Dees is brilliant as usual...
And again a Nazi reference (Arbeit macht Frei), people sure are obessed with Nazi references. Why no love for Germans?
