My impression is that the Israeli civilian casualty rate is significantly lower because of the Iron Dome. But just because they have that defensive technology does not mean others get to launch rockets at them with reckless abandon.
Say we finished the Star Wars program during the Cold War. Would that mean the USSR could then freely launch their arsenal at us because we now had the ability to shoot them down? I doubt anyone would expect us to just take it like a champ without retaliating. And our response would not be deemed genocide.
