This is always an inaccurate assumption, but it always good rhetorical strategy to make it, so that when someone like you calls me on it, I can explain : if they were 'rational actors' (which of course in reality they are not, since just like you and me, they are enslaved by emotion, much of it carefully induced by psywar experts, ha, ha), but if they WERE, then one could save oneself time and mental attrition by enquiring solely into the objectively likely effects of their statements.
p.s. I know I'm being horrible this morning (UK time) ; it is a side effect of having had to wade through all the ad hominem stuff, plus a few personal factors, like loneliness, extreme poverty, unemployment, political and personal despair, gathering gloom, incipient world war, and the fact that even the most attractive Israelis - or maybe, especially the most attractive Israelis - seem to be looking forward to it.
