Letters to Humanity: The Illusion of Protection Dear Humanity, America has spent billions of dollars funding Israelâs Iron Dome, a defense system designed to intercept short-range rockets before they hit civilian areas. It works. It saves lives. And yet, I find myself wonderingânot about how to get one for ourselves, but about the truth behind what weâre funding, what weâre protecting, and what weâre choosing to ignore. If history has taught us anything, itâs that true safety isnât built in steel and missile interceptors. Defense systems might block an attack, but they donât prevent war. They donât address why rockets are launched in the first place. They donât dismantle the cycles of violence that turn people into enemies. So why do we pour billions into systems that protect some, while allowing so many others to live in fear? Why do we call it security when itâs really just survival? Why do we tell ourselves that spending more on defense makes the world safer when history shows us that safety has never been found at the end of a missile? The truth is, I donât want an Iron Dome. Not for America. Not for anyone. I want a world where we donât need one. A world where we donât keep patching up symptoms while refusing to address the cause. A world where security isnât something we fund with war budgets, but something we build through understanding, equity, and truth. Because the strongest defense isnât a shield. Itâs a world where no one wants to launch the first attack. With hope, An American who believes safety isnât a weapon.
