Summary

This quote by French philosopher and mathematician Blaise Pascal suggests that the best outcome one can achieve when playing with uncertain circumstances or taking risks is to avoid them altogether.

If the statelet was only based on a narrow strip of the Mediterranean littoral (god having apparently ordered Moses to lead the Jews to one of the very few parts of the region with absolutely no oil at all), that would be bad enough. But in addition, it involved roosting on top of an ever-growing population that did not welcome the newcomers.
