When hostilities in the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict broke out in May, the Iranian-backed terrorist group Hamas fired more than 4,000 rockets into Israel. Thanks to Iron Dome, the country’s missile defense system, over 90 percent of them were intercepted.

The missile shield clearly saved the lives of thousands of civilians. The video below shows the Iron Dome in action.

Meanwhile, in an effort to avoid a government shutdown, House Democrats passed a stop-gap spending bill on Tuesday. Congress faces a Sept. 30 deadline to pass this legislation, which will fund the government through early December.

Missing from the bill, however, is $1 billion which had been earmarked for Iron Dome.

This item was removed at the insistence of Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Pramila Jayapal of Washington, better known as “The Squad.” This group’s anti-Semitic sentiments are well-known and they seek to do everything they can to abandon and isolate Israel, a nation they have called an “apartheid state.”
