UN Wants Israel to Share Iron Dome with Hamas

As the IDF marches toward its 26th day of Operation Protective Edge–with 63 soldiers killed, one kidnapped, and hundreds of civilian casualties in Gaza–news out of the Middle East is pretty depressing.

Fortunately, our friends at the United Nations have released a statement that is so absurd, it has to be laughed at.

Here’s the setup for the joke: Israel spent years developing a sophisticated platform for destroying missiles being sent into its borders by the thousands, a system unlike any other the world has ever seen, crafted solely from Israeli ingenuity. The US, recognizing the necessity of a secure, free democracy in the Middle East, has likewise spent hundreds of millions of dollars helping bring the project to fruition.

The punchline: Israel should share this system with Hamas.

1. this is not a very reliable source , they claimed at least once that Hamas was behind a UN attack

which was actually done by israel.

2. Sounds like a winner to me. Brilliant solution.

3. Great idea!

I support that. They should also share the land and allow everyone under their dominnce to vote in the elections.

5. +10,000

What a novel idea for a supposed "democracy"!

[Bettie]

14. Wait...you mean act like an actual democracy?

Nah...that would let those the people in power deem 'subhuman' have rights. They (again, those in power) can't have that!

4. This is bullshit

I saw the press conference with the UN official. All she said was that Hamas lacks a defense shield like Israel and the citizens of Gaza cannot defend against attacks like Israelis.

She never said anything about sharing the defense shield.

More right wing nonsense generated out of thin air.

7. It's a blog post on Times of Israel that cites Washington Times, which cites Breitbart

That's not just bullshit. That's bullshit from this guy:

6. I've been wondering why we don't fund an iron dome for Palestine too.

Why only for Israel?

8. Perhaps if they hadn't voted

hamas into their government, that would be a worthy discussion. But sharing it with a government that is led by hamas, a group declared a terrorist organization by just about the entire western world, is a complete non starter.

9. The people of Israel voted for this war criminal

who has committed genocide and destroyed the Palestinian people's homes. schools. hospitals, mosques, etc.
By his deeds shall a man be known. Have a look at Bibi's deeds. Nothing Hamas has done is in this league.

[w4rma]

10. Israel voted for a right-wing, warmongering political party, too. (nt)

[leftynyc]

12. I detest Bibi

and always have. That said, the Israeli has never been labeled a terrorist organization by any western nation.

[passiveporcupine]

16. Maybe they should be n/t

[leftynyc]

18. Uh - no (n/t)

[malaise]

11. Your punchline is not true n/t

[Nuclear Unicorn]

13. Considering Hamas-fired rockets keep slamming into Gaza, why not?

[Boom Sound 416]

15. Ha! So what happens when Hamas launches another 3000 rockets

They rain back to Gaza?

[WinkyDink]

17. Yeah, okay. Because---wait for it---what could go wrong?
