UN Wants Israel to Share Iron Dome with Hamas

http://blogs.timesofisrael.com/un-israel-must-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.

You may want to argue with Ban ki Moon.

You really need to go to gaza.
Hamas will really appreciate it.
