You gotta love how blatant and obvious it was that this is what this was about... and it still works 100% lol

I was thinking about this earlier. There's no coherent coalition to get rid of netanyahu

All the parties are basically likud or haredi psychos with a smattering of "centrists" and then the arab parties, two are left, one is right, none of them have power. Even a couple labor pms are going to support netanyahu lol. There aren't enough seats to get rid of netanyahu, it's just a matter of time til all the maniacs coalesce behind him.
All netanyahu has to do is provoke a hamas response and the electorate will become more insanely racist and vote in enough maniacs for him to form a maniac coalition

Stopping suicide bombers was the main pretext for the annexation wall in the west Bank

It just also happens to have the side effect of stealing miles and miles of Palestinian land

So a qassam rocket costs like $800 in materials and probably takes maybe 8 labor hours to construct and prepare to launch, with additional costs for duds, launch chambers and captured rockets, maybe an effective cost of $2000 per launch (just a guess)? And they shot like 1500 recently, so a total cost of $3M in order to kill 5 civilians (including 2 arabs and an indian) and one soldier. Now I don't mean to backseat intifada, but it seems like the rockets are not a very good value. For $3M i feel like you could smuggle in some bombs and take out way more than 6 people and have most of them be soldiers and cops

gaza isn't exactly swimming in cash, and explosive imports are banned so they have to secretly refine fertilizer and candy bars into propellant

I saw some speculation that with Iran and the US in JCPOA talks, there is even less of a chance for Hezbollah intervening than normal. Iran may have sanctions lifted again, they don't want a regional war.
