Spicy! I've been trying to find a clear example of the Iron Dome actually working for years. Israel also failed to sell it to the US, after a commitment was made.

I have seen the iron dome in action many times...or at least I thought I had....

What do you mean by - "a clear example" of it "actually working" - could it have been some other system engaging the incoming projectiles in those videos?
Edit - well apparently I can edit but not make any new posts or replies on saidit and my home ip has been blocked at cloudflare. No message or notification for what I might have done wrong. I guess the danger of me presenting wrong-think from outside the administration's bubble is just too high to let me live. Goodbye saidit, you strange bunch, and remember what happens to users of this site who say things the admins disagree with.

I want to see the Palestinian rocket coming from one direction, and the Israeli missile coming from another direction, and an explosion when they are very close to each other. Aka a successful interception. Most all videos are fireworks displays, Israeli missiles running around in circles and exploding when their time expires. Promotional videos for Iron Dome all use animations rather than videos.

I mean just in terms of practicalities, the camera man would have to be in between the rockets and the launcher for that perspective to be captured.
Not saying you're wrong about it, I would like to hear more, but just the first video on the YouTube link above does seem to me to be showing that...

So - in your opinion - if the iron dome is a dud - what is the system which is preventing the rockets from arriving in Israel. Is there something else which is shooting down the projectiles, given that iron dome doesn't work in your view. Thanks
Edit - I watched a few more and this one seems to be clearly showing it

https://youtu.be/hcNE5VHLldY shows Israeli rockets only, you can't see their target at all, they time out and explode
https://youtu.be/5T-Enb1GfWE same. even if you assume some of these projectiles are Palestinian, what is the timestamp of a clear interception?
much better 'interception' videos exist
