After years of launching rockets towards the southern part of Israel, the scales are now tipping towards the Israeli side.
The Iron Dome defense system is now operational for a week, although partially and not covering the whole southern area, but the rockets which used to scare hundreds of thousands of Israeli civilians are now decreasing in threat as the Iron dome defense system deploys more and more.
Iron Dome in Action:

Over the weekend more then 100 rockets were fired by the Palestinians on Israeli women and children in the aim to kill the innocent, thanks to the Israeli Iron dome system all but 6 were shot down and did not cause loss of lives.

The question remains, if now, Israel can defend itself against the threat of Palestinians missiles, does that deny the Israeli right to try and stop those missiles the way it did before? Will “cast Iron 2” be condemned by the international community when it happens?

My answer, sadly, is yes, the world will condemn Israel for any attack it will make in the Palestinian territories, because the world still reacts to blood, and when no blood will be shown on the Israel side thanks to technology, the international community will react better to the wounded Palestinian shown on TV then to a decade of missile lunches and hundreds of Israeli wounded by those missiles.

Men is a simple creature and as many others in nature we react impulsively and respond better to what we see, in most cases, disregarding prior events.

The Massacre in Itamar where Palestinians murdered a whole family, mother, father and 4 children, the lynch in the Israel soldiers where Palestinians tore Israeli soldiers body parts with their hands, the suicide bombers which got on buses and blew hundreds of civilians with no discrimination.

The world will forget all that upon the first image of a bloody Palestinian which will be shown on the screen.

The press is also blood-happy, lets face it, blood=ratings, ratings=more money, so to simplify it:

blood=more money

This is also the reason the the Israeli-Palestinan conflict will never end, too many powerful people will loose if it does, so those people or organizations or whatever – keep the fire burning.
