Israel is going to have to make peace with the Palestinians or face the prospect of two inevitable trends. One is the demographics - within the next 20 years there will be more Palestinian Israelis than Jewish Israelis. Two is that with cheap and mass produced components for gps, computers, remote control toys, robotics and AI, advanced weapon systems will be available to a wide range of players even with a low budget. When you kill civilians you motivate the targets to do something about it.
The longer this game is played the worse Israel's odds get and the less sympathy or understanding it has from the rest of the world.
You really think this is a good thing for Israel?
It is a good thing for the arms industry.
