Levite
Higher and Higher
It seems to me that governments have been unsuccessful in preventing popular revolts. After all - as we have seen - those responsible for implementing the necessary security can either refuse orders or even join the revolts. If a popular revolt occurs, there's no stopping it.
Agreed. But I didn't say "the Israeli government." I said "Israelis." I mean the populace in general is too conscious of security to permit themselves to descend into sustained civil chaos, if for no other reason than that everyone knows such an occasion would be vigorously exploited by terrorists.
