You might be surprized how many Israelis don't approve of their own government's actions. Some are gung-ho, like the keyboard warriors on here; but a similar number are opposed and many belong to groups like "Peace Now" and "There's A Limit". The vast majority want security without being aggressors, but have no idea how to make that happen.

You can see that split reflected in Israeli elections, in which relatively few people - depending largely on the "heat" of recent events - switch between the hawkish parties and the dovish ones. As a rule no-one ends up with enough votes to govern by themselves.
