BTW...I am not a real big fan of Israel...but I do understand why they do what they do. They have offered an olive branch multiple times and that did not work so their current strategy is to use more and more force to see if that works. I can easily envision a time when they say fuck it and take military control of the entire land and rule with an iron fist for a few generations until the Arabs decide to live in peace with the Jews.

Yes, I understand throughout History Israel has had to protect itself. Of course when it was given back to them the other nations didn't actually agree on everything, naturally war broke out - but Israel has won those. That's just history though.
Having a strong Military is perfectly fine, we built our nation on a strong Military.
Somewhat current times, if Israel would have lived with its assigned neighbors, rather than occupy them.. we probably wouldn't have seen the revolt. They have more than control of the situation now, but Israel continues to cleanse. And now the Country is expanding, attacking and becoming basically terrorists...
