That's a very good point. I suppose, then, the question would be: do we think the leaders of Israel (and I suppose Israelis themselves) feel the salted earth policy to be "worth it" for what would undoubtedly be a Pyrric victory (assuming nukes are used, obviously).

i would imagine the people dont even consider it possible. at least as an american, i think its pretty obvious that the propaganda convinces us our country is invincible (no matter how many terrorist attacks we endure and guerilla wars that we've lost). so i think the israeli people (rightfully) fear war, but they don't really think it'll get as bad as I'm assuming it will. as for the leaders, the same as ours. they're getting paid and/or postponing legal consequences for their actions. they have the money to get up and move if it gets that bad.
