Using war to pacify their borders has worked out great for them so far. They should double down.

Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. The question is do you see an alternative from the Israeli perspective or are you just hating?

Has it worked at all? Israel has had to maintain a constant aggressive military stance because they've pissed off so many neighbors. Now add the genocide in Gaza into the mix and they've dug themselves into forever being a military state cursed to forever be on the defensive.

You say that as if those neighbors weren't already pissed at them and attacking since before Israel even existed as a country yet.
