That got me winded since I'm on my phone, I forgot to mention the nuke thing. What is stopping Israel from nuking Palestine is a trifecta of linked issues

  • expending its deterrence versus Iran

  • counterattack which could flatten Israel is possible without nukes, and has been saved up already (this is not a joke)

  • counterattacks against US oil interests in the region

It's not about the unlimited might of the US being held back by goodwill. There are very real limitations, the Pentagon planned on doing what it's being forced to do with Iran to China. Plans are scaling down all the time.

By the way the 170,000 pounds figure was from what they dropped on a single city block.
