Israel'S strategic position has become incredibly difficult. Hamas and Hezbollah being armed to the teeth with modern missiles and massive bunkers. Ties with Turkey deleted. Syria hostile, cooperating with N-Korea. Egypt turning hostile. Lebanon an assembly area for Iran. Iran turning nuclear. Military high-tech being spread. The Palestinians. Growing share of Arabs in internal Israeli population. Demographic long-term problems. And I bet money on a nuclear arms race in the region, started by Iran, followed by Saudi-Arabia, Turkey, Egypt.

You cannot hold out forever when being challenged on so many fronts. Fighting it must, what else can it do? Supporting it we must, what else would be the morally right thing to do?

But in the long run I don't see it winning.
