Which is the same as your boss asking you for your opinion, only to reject it, if it doesn’t align

If your boss first asked for your opinion and later came back and said "well, the result from the democratic vote went the other way, and we have to follow it", would you go around telling everybody that he refused to hear your opinion on the matter? Why? Do you think that's an honest take on what happened?

By holding violent Israeli and Palestinian criminals accountable these dangerous elements can be removed from both societies

How are you going to hold someone accountable that is willing to martyr themselves in order to help their religion 'win'?
