TSOT134: Understanding Israel - "Rise and [Execute] First"

It doesn't PROVE anything, without more. But as to in the classic sense of understanding any case and considering a suspect, one tends to try to understand if they're "capable" of the act. Therein circumstantial evidence is relevant.  What is their outlook?  What is their history?  What was "family life" like?  What do they believe in?  Have they done things along the same lines of violence or deception as the act you're pondering upon?  From a 2018 book, from a journalist who lives there and has received one of the nation's highest journalistic awards, this history and national policy, along with the well-known "Hannibal Directive" ( I believe I said "Doctrine" in the episode ) helps illuminate the extreme outlook, basically unique among nation states, as to how far they'll go how soon.Again, not particular evidence of ANYTHING for a specific case, but much like finding out the friendly schoolboy who is an honor roll student has a dark history of a tendency towards violence and/or manipulation, this information MUST color how anyone (and particularly, PRESIDENTS (ahemmm....) and diplomats) deals with this country's leadership.
