Word is that something upset him and he left.

This is 100% accurate, and the answer to the question of, "What would happen if either side had ultimate power?" Yes -- Israel's population is (I think) around 10 million. It was pointed out that Israel's losing 1,100 people (so far) is like the U.S. losing 40,000 -- a really, really big hit. I remember, in the early 1990s, asking a retired colonel in the Israeli Air Force if Israel had nukes. He said nothing but flashed and held a poop-eating grin.

Wow! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Moral Duty to Destroy Hamas A mob of Islamist Arabs incited by Jew-hatred entered the town and killed as many Jews as they could find. They went door to door, broke into the homes of their victims, and slaughtered innocent men, women and children. These gangs raped, mutilated and tortured them while screaming "Kill the Jews!" That was 94 years ago, on Saturday, Aug. 24, 1929, in Hebron. The picture is essentially the same, only that then the Arab riots that included this massacre ended with 133 Jews murdered. This time, it is several times as many, and we don't know the final figure. Given that the events are virtually the same, the question is: Why? There was no state of Israel in 1929. There were no "occupied" territories, no "settlers." There was no "blockade." No security fence, no checkpoints, nothing. If the excuses of today's murderers did not exist at that time, what did exist? [...] https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-moral-duty-to-destroy-hamas-ba626a41?mod=opinion_lead_pos5

This merits a stand-alone thread.
