Demographics + modern missile weapons + social destabilization of Israeli society + a world not caring much for Israel's self-defence

The Lebanon war gave a first taste of things to come. The IDF no longer can trust it's nimbus to be invincible.

Laughing you can. Whether or not it is justified in the long run, is something completely different. Israel is on it's own. And in that exposed, vulnerable position, I cannot imagine how anybody could hold out for unlimited time.

I am not optimistic - in the longer time perspective. Not at all. No matter whether it is with regard to Hamas, or Hezbollah.

It's the kind of shock value that works for those who pander to masses of angry, uneducated, and hopelessly unemployed people. I kind of wish Hamas and the like would politely shuttle themselves off to the core of the Sun. They don't really do mass amounts of damage, I mean, not like a modern military can. And they spew that kind of nonsense every chance they get, which causes no end of frustration because at some point they finally do attack Israel and the whole effing blame game comes full circle again. Can't Israel just annex the Middle East and be done with it already?

If you mean by that to compare the starting conditions of America with that of Israel, I do not see that comparsion working. Not with regard to ressources. Space. Demographics. Initial superiority to native culture. long-time perspective resulting from different potential natural and economic resources. Different drives and motives for going to the foreign place. Plus the Indians were not Muslim, nor was King George of the robust type like Muhammad.

It just does not compare. Almost everything was different from the beginning on.

Agreed. What the heck is a curbstomb, btw? *dashes off to the dictionary*

[EDIT] Or did you mean a curbstomp?

Yet oddly enough, a modern military has stated it must blockade their place of origin to protect its people...

Yeah, you do bring up a good point there. Squeeze hard enough and people are bound to cry for justice. I'll keep my previous thoughts posted, no sense erasing a mistake. Thanks for joggling my brain, Stealth Hunter.

You don't need a modern military to hurt another country's population

Israel has long been forced into a position of survival and have managed very well thus far.

I honestly don't see the tables being turned any time soon.

Can't do much damage is not the same as can't do any damage. How high would the body count have to be before you felt justified in responding?

You can basically say the same thing about Iran and sanctions though.
