You would think. I'm sure there's some attempt to justify the refusal to change course on something like "not allowing people who are trying to kill our civilians to dictate our policies to us, because we don't want to encourage them to do more of that", or some such, which isn't actually a coherent defense of the policy in question... To be clear, I wasn't actually endorsing what I see as the views of much of the Israeli populace, and I assume Red Slinger wasn't either. As I said in my subsequent post, no one who has a stake in this conflict (not only including the people actually directly affected but also those who have strong opinions about it) seems to have anything resembling a sense of objectivity.
