> As cold as it sounds what Israel should be optimizing for is minimizing the number of dead Israelis, now and in the future.

Yes, I get the logic.

But as someone who isn't either Israeli or Palestinian, I give the same value to any life and I'd like my government to 1. at the very least, not support the ongoing massacres 2. pressuring them to stop what they're doing 3. send help to gaza. I'm not american, but if I was, I'd be very pissed that my taxpayer's money is going to this.

Then one could argue that what is done isn't the best course of action of Israel's safety, regardless of any moral consideration.

> I think knowing Israelis will give you some sense of what kind of people they are,

I have no doubt that Israelis are no different than any other people on earth. But really, this isn't the question here.
