Again, you do not understand that you have no basis for saying that he does not care for the deaths of Israeli civilians. First, you have no clinical knowledge of the man. Second, all indices suggest a strong emotional attachment to Israel and its people, rather than naked ambition, as an explanation for his behavior. Third, his support erodes, it is not strengthened, as the violence is not curtailed. He gained support because he was a "strong hand", yes. But that meant he was supposed to reduce suicide bombings. If he stirs up a hornet's nest of retaliation, his position will be undermined. So yes, you are promoting a view of the man that by any reasonable standard recklessly disregards the facts. From a legal point of view, you are not in any jeopardy, since it is an opinion, and he is a public figure. From a moral standpoint, it is creepy.........
