It's a moving target...but, variously....
You've told us that what you wanted to see (or, if you prefer, your least worst scenario) was support for secularist elements over theocratic elements, but then on second thought maybe not that.
That you wanted to see (or, if you prefer, your least worst scenario) was an outcome where isreal pursued some status quo policy for the purposes of isreali security, but then on second thought maybe not that.
I'm not here to argue your desires. I'm asking you how the status quo policies that lead to this attack, which included support for theocratic elements and the delegitimization of secularist elements.... serves either of these interests..or..whichever one you come up with next. I'm sure the question will be evergreen.
