Any other country would already be at war for these rocket attacks. This is a flat out act of war. It is time for Israel to crack some skulls.

Muslim Brotherhood…mmmmhmmmm….Obama and Clinton’s boys…do read on:

Why isn’t the Iron Dome stopping these deadly rocket attacks?
Yaakov Amidror tells the ‘Post’ that if a rocket is shot at a location less than a few kilometers away, “we don’t have enough time to intercept it.”

Israel has a critical gap in its protection system, said Yaakov Amidror, a former head of Military Intelligence’s Research Department and currently a senior fellow at the Jerusalem Institute for Strategic Studies.

He told The Jerusalem Post that if a rocket is shot at a location less than a few kilometers away, “we don’t have enough time to intercept it.”
Amidror explained that there is nothing unique about these particular rockets – “they are within the capabilities of the Iron Dome.”

The challenge is that sometimes, such as in the case of the rocket that hit the vehicle near Kibbutz Yad Mordechai, “from the point of view of the system, this was an open area without people. We don’t intercept such rockets.”

Amidror said that the rockets currently being fired at Israel had either been smuggled into the Gaza Strip before the 2013 regime change in Egypt from the Muslim Brotherhood to General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, or are being produced on the Gaza side but using a manufacturing system that was built during that same time frame.

“Before the change of regime,” Amidror explained, “Egypt informally but practically allowed terrorist groups to bring in all the facilities needed to produce these rockets.”

He said that the rockets are paid for by Iran.

How can Islamic Jihad manage to launch so many rockets in one day?

According to Amidror, “It is very easy to launch rockets when you are launching them at close range and you don’t really need to be accurate.”

I will dispense with the Soviet National Anthem this year as the ‘Revolution’ is already upon us. The Democrat Party has gone full blown socialist. Remember your Marx and Engels, capitalism->socialism->communism. They say that the revolution cannot occur unless there is capitalism first to build into socialism and then communism.

The end goal is the dictatorship of the proletariat. Hayek reminds us that this dictatorship will inevitably end in the removal and destruction of personal freedom as does an autocracy. What occurs is that the complete monopolization of power then resides in a bureaucratic elite, a ‘Nomenklatura’, whose right to rule over all can never be questioned as they are the vanguard of the revolution. There can be no opposition to the elite.

Right now, a former barmaid thinks that she is the vanguard of the revolution. This is laughable on its face. She is but a tool of what has always been there. Her job is to trot out the ridiculous and make them topics for discussion; this is a softening up, to use military parlance. She is a clown placed there to take the initial flak for these outrageous ideas. The vanguard of the revolution, according to Lenin, are professional revolutionaries who are completely committed to communism as the end goal.

Dictatorship does not necessarily mean the abolition of democracy for the class that exercises the dictatorship over other classes; but it does mean the abolition of democracy (or very material restriction, which is also a form of abolition) for the class over which, or against which, the dictatorship is exercised.
— V. I. Lenin

OH, ok, why not

I couldn’t help myself.
