Because they can't protect themselves. Not in the long run.
At least not without going nuclear.

Demographically, Israel is dwarfed by its neighbors and this
is likely to get worse in the future.

Energetically, Israel is dependent on foreign oil for transportation
fuel.

Their grasp on the land has been tenuous since the land was ceeded
to them in 1949 and, in the long run, they are in an unsustainable
position.

"Cut and Run"? That's a Republican phrase designed to provoke Machismo.
Realistic people make intelligent choices, and, offered the chance to
emigrate and live in peace, I think a lot of Israelis would turn out
to be realists. Or maybe just the women and children would leave,
letting all the machimso "men" play with their weapons.
