It's naive to say "Israel gets to do whatever they want." (See? I can quote things the person I'm replying to didn't say to make a strawman, too).

Lock-and-key grain agriculture exists precisely TO suppress people. Grain agriculture spread not because bread is a miracle and we all love it and need so much of it, but rather because grains have a predictable harvest and consistent size and weight that makes them useful for taxing purposes for states -- and it makes populations grow because it requires you to be sedentary... which also useful for states in many situations. States and hierarchies are the problem.
