You have isolated Israel enough! During your tenure, the word diplomacy has not existed, haranguing everyone, trying to appear as a “macho” before the whole world but mainly in Israel where you need to have a bright popularity and acceptance. Basically you are bankrupt of ideas and bankrupt of scruples. Israel needs someone else right now and you are not the one!

  Tony what exactly does Iron Dome have to do with drones? This drone is used for intelligence gathering and blowing things up like the American Predator does. Iron Dome is designed to shoot down short range rockets like the Katusha. You know in Sweden there was a 1200 strong pro Israel rally so how come you don't try something like that for once. I dare you to go out into the street and shout at the top of your voice I LOVE ISRAEL. Don't be an enemy of Israel be a friend.
