Quite the volley over the past 24 hours.  Score is Israel:1 / Iran:1.
Now we enter round two.

Israel got a lot of help and support to build its iron dome missile
defense. Theory was, they had bad neighbors on all sides and needed to
stay protected.  But what if jackass Netanyahu overestimated his defense
and decided to use it as a shield while being a bully?

I'm not defending Iran. Just saying, Israel didn't have to start this.
