According to the clips I've seen, they're firing a lot of iron dome anitiair. Wouldn't doubt they'll need missle restock.
The billions of dollars they've received is more than enough to have stockpiled a large multiple of whatever rockets Hamas was able to somehow build up in secret. "We give you $3.8B per year" should also mean "manage your own munitions when fighting a small insurgency". If they got into another war with Iran, sure, that could warrant big brother stepping in and turning on the missile spigot, but they're not even at war with an actual nation.
I don't know if I should explain how foreign aid works, how many long range missles Hamas controls and how they got them, what a small insurgency is, how an anti-missle system works, or something else you seem to need clarity on. So, I think you should just keep ranting.
Oooh, we got an expert explainer in the house, everyone! Let's hear it expert, and cite your sources, we'd all love to learn from such a valuable resource.
I'm smart enough to know a drunk when I see one. Goodluck in life .
People can make fun of your lazy argument without being drunk. It's quite easy.
You want to act like you're a deep expert and everyone who disagrees with your positions is ignorant, here's your chance to prove it. If not for me, do it for everyone else, because right not many people seem to be upvoting your obvious brilliance. You do want them to understand and acknowledge your expertise, don't you? Or was this just a tired rhetorical device people have been using for decades to posture on the internet when they believe they're right but don't want to go through all the effort of proving it?
