Possibly. But Israel is rolling out the full fascism package--whereas Sweden has from the start tried to actually do what is best for her citizens. The figures I've seen for Israel are more like 5-7% above normal, but similar to the US, I don't think Israel has used ambulatory treatment (one reason the US has been able to achieve around 12-13% excess mortality). So I can't prove that your take is wrong--but when I see the blatant lies coming out of Israeli leaders, far disproportionate to the amount of death, I'm inclined to think they have not done all they could to minimize death. And since they are lying a lot and we know that the pcr is a garbage test, I'm just less inclined to get into the Pegdenesque practice of engaging in deep statistical analysis of figures that seem to be fake, fraudulently and dishonestly generated...
