You are not a “fan” of Israel.
Neither is Andrea Mitchell.
I am a fan of Israel.
But soldiers make bad cops. Different training and skill sets. I am not a fan of using any soldier as a cop. Soldiers are trained to engage and defeat an enemy. Cops are trained to investigate and deescalate (or rather they were traditionally trained that way). Both have their uses, but using one for the other typically has poor results.
As I said, I assume the Israeli government has a better idea of what is going on than you, me, or the guy on TV does.
