Even those numbers would not work in the US Senate where the framers knew that you don't allow life or death decisions to be based on a tiny majority.

The Framers were wise enough to leave military decisions to the Commander-in-Chief and not put them up for a vote.

As I outlined in Post 340, it is the current military situation that puts Israelis at an increased risk of death.

The withdrawal behind the Israeli Wall is a decision made on the basis of sound military doctrine.

It is not a military decision to uproot your citizens, destroy their homes, livelihoods and places of worship and force them dig up their dead.

Maybe the Chinese and the old Soviets, the Nazis, thought those military decisions, but Democracies don't.
