- jfengel 2y agoIt's not at all unbelievable. Israel and the US have put a ton of work into stopping these relatively slow-moving attack. We've seen similar results in Ukraine. And conversely, if large numbers of attacks were getting through, you'd be reading very different news stories about large numbers of civilian casualties in Israel. It's hard to deny a story like that. This is entirely believable. It may or may not be true, but it's not as extraordinary as you're suggesting.

- xanthor 2y agoI don’t really care. It has nothing to do with me in America. The social phenomenon I mentioned does, however.
