Israeli politicians benefit from the constant threat to a frightened population.
They promise stability and vengeance -- vengeance for making the people of Israel afraid. Vengeance, pure and simple.
Now replace Israeli with Gazan (as in the people of Gaza), and the statement is still accurate.
Small wonder they're still at it.
Look at 9/11 did to the grand purveyor of democracy and innovation (America). Fucking turned this country into a schizophrenic mess that alternately fears and destroys with no consideration to cost, pragmatism or ethics.
Modern day American politics seem very Middle Eastern to me sometimes.
Apocalyptic and fear-driven.
