Israelis/Arabs: if you could press a button and wipe out an entire group/nation of your choice, would you press it?

    Personally, I'd hope that "group" can be defined to be rather specific, since I'd have less of a problem wiping out something limiting like "hostile ISIS terrorists" or something along those lines. I'd even be afraid to just say "ISIS", as there are women and children in their midst that may not have a choice and were dragged along to be a part of that terrorist group. If I'm limited to a nation, or a more broad set of people, then I wouldn't press it.

    Statistically speaking, most Israelis do not give an indication that they'd press such a button. Of course, they weren't asked this question specifically, but given that the majority polled do not state that they hate Arabs or wish to see them die and would rather have peace, I'd say it's a safe assumption to make. With Arabs that are part of this conflict, similar polling does not yield such optimistic results, though I wouldn't assume that they'd make the same choices. Unfortunately, there are those on both sides who'd definitely push the button without hesitation, but I'd like to think that most wouldn't dare.
