19. I do.
Israelis rich and poor both fight in this war. The same could be said of Palestinians.

The sons and daughters of every Knesset member do army service and most are in the reserves as well. As pelsar, he knows. He serves himself every year.

Now what I don't understand is why you would oppose a "weapon" that serves no purpose other than one that's purely defensive, obviating the need for Israelis to live in fear and also eliminating the need for the IDF to run operations in the OPT which cause the bulk of civilian casualties. Israel causes so few civilian casualties compared to other nations at war largely as a result of their advanced weaponry which allows them to pinpoint strikes. If more advances could make far more civilian casualties obsolete then why in the world would you oppose them?
