I’d prefer you stated them in all truth. There’s nothing obvious about it.

A cursory glance around the world sees terror group after terror group rise up from the smouldering ashes of their ancestors (metaphorically and literally). There’s always people with an axe to grind and always someone willing to fund it.

Israel - by playing fast and loose with the “international rules based order” - endangers itself, Jews around the world, America and it’s allies. For a man who sees danger in small boats, the ramifications should be obvious to you.

There’s nuance between eliminating and nullifying. The latter is very much achievable but it’s as much about defensive capabilities as offensive. It can certainly be achieved by an alternate means.
