By Reuven Pedatzur, Haaretz Correspondent : Iron Dome system found to be helpless against Qassams
Talkback
Title:Countermeasures to missiles and consequences
Name:Fairplay
City: LondonState:
Having consulted ballistics experts in the UK, I stated in talkbacks that there are no sure countermeasures to missiles, whatever thier range, other than finding and destroying all means of launching them, and that requires a ground offensive. I am horrified that the Israeli government was smoothtalked into pouring money down the Iron Dome drain! With their pilotless missiles and drones, Israel`s foes have lethal weapons in their hands. Next will come small nuclear devices. Just wait and see! The only alternative is a negotiated peace by pursuading the Arabs that Israelis are a useful asset to the region and not out to steal more land.
