Israel/Hamas Conflict, $2 Million+ Per Patriot Missle Fired?

[Truth7t7]

Could you imagine the cost, as Hamas fired 4,300 missiles at Israel, estimate that 3,000 patriots in response to shoot down the Hamas threat?

3,000 X 2 Million = $6 Billion

Israel also has "Iron Dome" and "David's Sling". Iron Dome missiles are about US$40,000. From what I've read, Iron Dome has been the primary interceptor for Hamas missiles. Patriot is for longer range missile attacks. As far as I know, no Patriots have been fired in the recent conflict. The cost is therefore much less than you've estimated.

What does Hamas care? Obama and Biden have given Iran billions, Iran gives Hamas rockets plus millions of dollars, and after they finish their attacks, they are rewarded with more millions from the USA. Hamas is an Islamist terrorist organization, and it could care less about the Palestinians.

Now that Israel had a chance to finish the job, they failed to do so. Which is very surprising and annoying. Now Hamas and Iran have declared victory, and they are right. Israel lost when it unilaterally declared a cease-fire. Therefore this war will continue and innocents will die by the hundreds of thousands. A very poor strategy.

In any event war is a very expensive business, so guess who wins? The manufacturers of arms and ammunition. Therefore they want to keep the wars going. And there is no country that is exempt from supplying arms to countries which can barely afford to survive. "It's just business".

Now that US embassies will be flying the BLM flag all over the world, all terrorists worldwide have been given the green light. The American government under Biden and the Democrats wants to increase terrorist activities worldwide. Since domestic terrorists BLM and Antifa were allowed to run amok on the streets of America, there is no need to worry about any consequences.
