Unsportsmanlike?

By way of an email from the Gatestone Institute, an Israeli reports makes an odd analogy. A key paragraph has drawn my attention.

There is something so unsportsmanlike about the Iron Dome missile shield. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a technological marvel. In seconds the system detects multiple rocket launches, assesses the rockets’ type, range and point of impact and, most crucially, whether it has a chance of hitting a built-up area and is thus worth while firing a 100,000-shekel Tamir missile to intercept it. The interception is even more incredible — a needle finding another needle in a haystack traveling at the speed of sound.

The reporter does seem to understand the comment he has made, the defense system has been working very well. Few rockets are getting through and killing civilians.

Sportsmanship is about following customs, rules and fair play. It is Hamas that plays unfairly, constantly shooting from the cover of innocent Palestinians, sneaking through tunnels to murder and kidnap from stealth. I am not a veteran, and it is easy to see that war is about overwhelming the opponent, but the character of the group that calls itself Hamas is best described as a pack of pussies.
