"I am morally correct therefore I need not be factually correct".

Stop doing this: it completely undermines the political argument because it makes it clear you are as uninterested in reality as the current administration.

It's rich to declare "they're lying" while happily being disinterested in the truth or clear communication.

Iron Dome is a specific interceptor system, and you can trivially look up what it is on Wikipedia.

Iron Dome being unable to intercept ballistic missiles is factually incorrect as of at least March 2026.

Iron Dome is still not a catch-all term for the entire Israeli defense system, and all the other claims the poster has made are not supported by their links or evidence.

As noted: Iron Dome intercepting ballistic missiles is an apparent new capability which it was not expected to be capable of: so it's kind of weird to turn up and say "Iron Dome can't intercept ballistic missiles anymore!" when no one except whoever developed the upgrades would've expected it to do that, and Israel has a number of other still unrelated to THAAD ballistic missile interceptor systems.
