(26,314 posts)The reason attempts and success rates have drawn down is diminished capability due to the crackdown not because they went out of style
Rockets keep coming regardless of which terrorist group claims credit for them. Hamas took a break, the Popular and People's Front keep them going until some of their operatives are rounded up as the usual suspects and a few are killed, probably not in relation to walking old ladies across the street and fire up theirs again.
You think citizens care which group is behind each volley or they want them all stopped?
I don't get this need to ignore decades of clear history (other than to pretend there is none to paint the reactions as without rational motivation so one can just declare Israel to be evil) but thanks for documenting Egypt (and Jordan) flooding these areas (including with trained and hardened fighters) in reaction to their failed military efforts to destroy Israel to force them to be over run or to take aggressive action so they can wring their hands and spit curses for the world audience in reaction to the seeds planted by Arabs themselves with the same intent as the failed military efforts, the destruction of Israel be it by hook or by crook, be it my martial strength, to destabilize via terror, the court of opinion playing underdog and victim at every response to doing dirt themselves, assimilation, or by some pecking away combination but all are means to the same goal and all have been actively in the toolbox for decades, ever bending toward the same end.
We didn't come to the present circumstances in some vacuum where history starts at the current plight of the Palestinians, it took a lot of years and many, many events to build to this. Reactions and actions which have reduced both the capacity and impact of attacks but have been less than kindly to the population (but if they weren't taken mean more death and destruction for Israeli citizens as went on for years) which is where you want time to start from but it didn't even if it muddied your narrative.
