Most Israelis will comply when it comes to an existential threat, like the Hamas attack was presented to be.
The ethos of the war of 1948 is embedded in every Israeli from child, to the same extent, if not beyond, the memory of the holocaust. These are two triggering events which can’t be ignored when evoked by military leaders, or even Netanyahu. Israelis are also very much aware of past events like kidnappings and lynching mobs (Jericho)… it’s in living memory still.
But what made things easy for israelis to not question themselves is probably the fact that the Hamas is what it is. It’s not like they have a stellar reputation. So that wrapped logic is that there needs to be e response and we’ll tell ourselves we’re going after the Hamas not civilians.
. How hard could it be to cache them? Thank you for reading my blog post.

in reply to Peter • • •@peter I'm not sure it's was a police helicopter, but the cops were, according to the nypd, "sparing no expense." What's sad is how the whole thing goes into MAGA fantasies about NYC: that it is dangerous, especially because of masks and bikes. Also shooting someone 4 blocks from Fox News HQ makes coverage so easy. So it really makes sense that they go after the shooter. Then again if the person gets away, it's even more embarrassing.
The use of a Citibike could be his undoing.
