World opinion would turn against Israel.


As opposed to what it is now? Face it, world opinion says that a) everything Israel does in self-defense is unacceptable, and b) there is no possible Palestinian behavior in conducting their intifada that would be unacceptable.

Literally anything that the Palestinians do is okay by world opinion. Blow up kids? Praise suicide bombers as martyrs? Storm churches and hold priests and nuns hostage? Run bombs in ambulances? The world censures Israel.

This exerts a continual pressure on Israel to strike massively when it does strike, since they know that they will be condemned for whatever they do. In for a calf, in for a cow.
