They should have to "function" like that? Why not just give the Arabs free reign and arms to drive them into the sea, it would be more efficient.
I didn't say it was a great situation, I said it was not an existential threat to Israel. And so far you haven't offered a solution either. If the current war was going to solve anything, then we could take about its costs and benefits, but Israel is creating ill will generally and unifying the Arab world (despite Sunni and Shi'a tensions), but at the end of the day we're going to have a (more) hostile Lebanon north of Israel. And a lot more dead people.

Hence my crack about the Kobayashi Maru.
