I mention hawks in reference to both sides, as well as other sides in other conflicts, not to exclude the ramifications of 9-11, Pearl Harbor, and such.
As far as Bibi's unity government is concerned, that's generally what folks do in Israel.

I understand, even if that is “what folks do in Israel”; and I even would agree that Bibi is “hawkish,” at least in regards to how we would use the term defense hawk here in America.
What I allege is that your specific definition of “hawks,” the aspect that they “trade blood for power,” seems to be falsified (at least in this instance) when Bibi went out of his way to give up some power and form an emergency government.
So either your definition or your specific application of it to him is incorrect.
He can only pretend to be a brutal dictator, so by getting "centrists" on his side in a fake "unity" govt, he gains legitimacy for whatever hawkish blood lust stuff he thinks he can get away with within limits, which include the limits of USA support.
The fact that Israel is ruled by a deeply corrupt fake brutal dictator that runs an Apartheid system is appalling and just another of many examples of the grotesque absurdity of a country that has no (formal) "right to exist".
