Are a lot of Israelis from Berlin? A lot are from Russia, but Germany? In the German Jewish side of my family a lot emigrated to the UK and US and the rest were murdered.
And I'm not sure what's so much better about killing civilians with helicopters rather than suicide bombs.

The majority of IRA bombings I know about had warnings.
No suicide bombings have had warnings. They also often have secondary bombs designed to go off shortly afterwards killing those who have gone to help any survivors of the first bomb.
After WW2, many Jews frome Western Europe returned to their countries of origin (the majority from Eastern Europe did not because of the continued anti-semetism and communism present in their home countries).
This included many who returned to Berlin who then later, or their children later emigrated to Israel. You also have those who fled the Nazi's from Berlin to the UK and the USA who then went to Israel.
That's one of the amazing things about Israel, on the jewish side alone you have about 84 different country backgrounds living together, and then there's the christians and muslims. No other country has so much human diversity living in peace with each other.
Yes that's right, because the IDF generals all sit round planning on which civilians to target next, they don't really go for militants, noo that would be far too dificult.
