- rdl 14y agoEffective anti-missile defense probably increases Israel's ability to absorb attacks, maybe try to use sanctions/blockade, etc. for longer. If there were large numbers of Israelis getting killed, I'm confident Israel would bomb the shit out of Gaza and send in troops. I guess I trust technology to prevent this more than I trust Israel-Hamas peace process to prevent this.
