If a rocket were to land in Tel Aviv and damage a building, it would probably cause more than $50,000 in damages. Damages to include are property damage, PTSD of the local population, schools closing, and offices closing.

Those costs seem a bit overstated. This is what a Palestinian Quassam rocket impact looks like: http://neuezeitgeist.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/quassam-imp...

Compare to Israeli rocket impact: http://www.abc.net.au/news/image/5582926-16x9-512x288.jpg

And air strikes in Gaza have killed more than a dozen children this past week alone. What's your point? That you value bus shelters more than human life?

Well, maybe if they didn't stand on the roof of a building that Israel warned them was going to be bombed, that wouldn't have happened:

If Canada was firing rockets indiscriminately into the US, wouldn't you think we have a right to defend ourselves?

Can you tell me with a straight face that if militants were to stop shooting rockets from Gaza, Israel would actually continue striking?

I'm saying that the potential damage that 1 cheap Hamas rocket may cause is much higher than the cost of Iron Dome rockets.
