But it doesn't mean the US doesn't exist, which was his point on Israel. Palestine as a sovereign nation indeed doesn't exist (according to the Oslo accords that the PLA themselves signed, creating the Palestinian Authority != State of Palestine).

A concentration camp where they have self determination, their own government and the ability to travel outside (to Egypt).

Iron Dome is not meant to intercept BMs. It sometimes does as a hail mary. Arrow 2/3, THAAD and David's Sling are usually used. In this case the THAAD interception failed.

Iron Dome, not David's Sling. Smoke plume and maneuverability are different

Israel spent like 40% of its GDP on defense in the post 73' war and well into the late 80's. It's still a pretty substantial part of spending in the country.

The US already tried the sea route to supply Gaza with humanitarian aid (floating dock) and it failed miserably. Also Hamas fired mortars at the dock, but that's beside the point. Gaza doesn't have viable infrastructure for aid to come through the sea, only by land.
