We shot more down than Israel if I remember right.
Which is why it’s curious they’re giving us time to send more support.
I think if they were really going for a blow they would have done it.
Part of this is my optimism leaking out. I wouldn’t put it past Iran to really stir things up. Their proxies have been doing it all along.

So this just came in my breaking news feed. US Intelligence has told Israel to expect Hamas and Iran to do a 2 pronged. I think that most of us would agree that we figured as much, but here is an official link:

I agree with you, I am against aiding Ukraine with our tax dollars, they only reason democrats has done this is because their biggest benefactor make sure that US will get involved in Ukraine, too many skeletons in the closet, Ukraine use to be democrats' politicians laundering paradise.

In April 2024, Iran massively attacked Israel directly, using 300 war drones, blessed by the top Ayatollah.
Israel shot down 99% of them: apnews.com...
EVERY SINGLE TIME Iran strikes another nation, the damage is minimal and deaths are few.
Sirens and explosions were heard nationwide in Israel early Sunday morning as Iran launched a wave of more than 300 drones and missiles at the country in its first-ever direct attack on the Jewish state.
Here is what we know about what Iran attempted to target, how Israel defended against the attack, and why alarms were activated and explosions were heard across the country.
While a list of sites Iran tried to hit has not been publicized by Tehran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps — which launched the drones and missiles — the main target of the attack appeared to be a sensitive airbase in southern Israel, Nevatim, home to the F-35 stealth fighter jet, the military’s most advanced aircraft.

According to the Israel Defense Forces, Iran’s attack comprised 170 drones, 30 cruise missiles, and 120 ballistic missiles — 99% of which were intercepted by air defenses.
All the drones and cruise missiles were downed outside of the country’s airspace by the Israeli Air Force and its allies, including the United States, United Kingdom, Jordan, France, and others — according to the IDF’s top spokesman, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari.

Is the U.S. Responsible for Israel having such a robust defensive capability? Or did they develop it themselves?
The current President never talks about defensive systems. Biden seems to be more reactionary.
Israel has stolen tech from the U.S. like everyone else.

It's no longer relevant.
Israel is 1000x more relevant than Ukraine.
Israel is our ally, for decades.
Ukraine is not. Never has been.
See the difference yet?

My understanding it's all Israeli-designed, tested, and manufactured.
Haaretz’s long report found that Israel’s army had employed the “Hannibal Directive” on October 7. The Directive is an Israeli policy that instructs the military to open fire on its own soldiers to prevent them from being taken captive. Of course, this site, alongside other alternative media sources, was one of the first to point out the possible role of the Hannibal Directive in Israeli deaths on October 7. But the Haaretz report was significant in the number of military sources it interviewed who confirmed that there were direct orders to implement the Directive.
Haaretz explained that the policy has “the intent of foiling kidnapping even at the expense of the lives of the kidnapped.” At first, the army started deploying “Ziks,” unmanned assault drones. Later, the army fired mortars, and then artillery shells. Haaretz also confirmed that the military did know that Israeli civilians had also been taken hostage, but, nonetheless, at 11:22 a.m. the order came down: “Not a single vehicle can return to Gaza.”
The Haaretz report is cautious, but it still concludes: “[The 11:22 a.m. message] was understood by everyone. . . At this point, the IDF was not aware of the extent of kidnapping along the Gaza border, but it did know that many people were involved. Thus, it was entirely clear what the message meant, and what the fate of some of the kidnapped people would be.”
In other words, some — possibly many — of the Israeli deaths that day, including civilians, were deliberately caused by Israel’s own military. How this is not news is incomprehensible. But, three days later, in the New York Times: not a word. The Washington Post: nothing. CNN: nothing. National Public Radio: nada.
Instead, if you plug “Hannibal” into the search engines at these media sites, the results only mention “Hannibal Lecter,” the fictional serial killer who was the subject of a book and popular film.
