To make peace you have to be armed to the teeth so to make the fight not worth it.
There is nothing wrong about looking at the worst case scenario.
It has nothing to do with spreading fear it has to do with facing reality with All possible outcomes.
Israelis have every good reason to consider the worst options and prepare for them as the country lies in between all this mess that is happening right now.
For us is not some interesting event that takes place on other side of the globe.Its a revolution with which we will have to live with as well.
So really turning every doubt into some islamophobic paranoia is like refusal to face the other side of the coin.
Israels are hoping to live with Arabs in peace while arming to the teeth because thats what the reality of middle east toughed us.
We can ask ourselves if it worth it or not but thats diffrent story.
Israelis only hope is that Arabs after going through all this turmoil will finely emerge as a balanced society.
Question is will they have to go throu all the stages as Europeans did in the past or there is a shortcut.
