The problem isnt just the Hez. At the last go around Israel managed to pi55 off a large segment of the western world that usually supports (remains mum) on her defensive maneuvers. Israel is now seen less as a victim and more as a mid-East offender. The next dance is projected to include such world class dancing aficionados as Iran and Syria. When this dance starts Israel is going to be a little more isolated, tho I suspect the US will offer political, logistical and intell support without getting directly involved.
I'm actually starting to get a little worried about Israel's security. I'm thinking the time to use a bigger boom might be getting closer. No doubt Israel will prevail but the political ramifications of that is something I dont want to think about. Even without the necessity of a bigger boom Israel's status as the victim is rapidly eroding.
Ive said it before, Ill say it again; Israel is proof that living in the sand can make intelligent people go stupid.
