        At this point it will only cause more terror.

        The one thing keeping Israel from stopping is complete invulnerability.

        It would be good to want some people there to be as safe as possible . But more people would be safe, in the whole region, more overall would live, and be healthy and safe, if there were actual flaws in defense systems.

            Its easy to stay in power as a war mongering despot if you have a more powerful country cleaning up all your mistakes. We sanction Russia and say its to encourage regime change, then say things like Bibi has gone to far then give him aide, the opposite of sanctions. If he had to answer for his own mistakes his people may not have canceled their general strike after one day.
