Israel maintains her sovereignty because despite having nuclear arms and receiving multi billion dollar defence contracts from US government she still has to have the full backing and support of the world's no 1 superpower to deal with her own domestic problems at the expense of the US tax payers. Without that backing despite all the hypes here they can not even defeat Hammas.
Maintains her sovereignty and clearly one of the most successful states in the ME. Provides fuel and power to Gaza on a daily basis, in fact, Israel shuts the spigots down and there is international holy moral terror as a result. Palestine is one big refugee camp, kactus, you want to speak to domestic problems? The Palestinians also get backing from the US, I could look the number up it is significant, Israel supports that Palestine Proper as well.
Why is it Iraeli behavior is focused on so heavily, what of her enemies? Israel could defeat Hamas, today's conflicts where the media affects opinion wasn't always the case. Israel defeated several signicant armies, successfully overcame hostage and terror situations the world over, their history replete with it. But, they've never faced this evil. An evil not even expected to follow a shred of humanity laws during conflict. Does anyone expect when American or Jewish soldiers are taken that we'll ever get them back?
If you don't agree with this article after reading it or think it's biased fair enough I won't ask you why but surely it seems more rational than going down the path of 'annihilating Israel's enemy'. Certainly in my own mind I will ask what has the current zionist policy achieved so far?
I look at Israel after winning war after war, establishing a state of 7 million plus, an economic and thriving reality, known for a very tenacious intelligence agency, indeed, Isreal isn't or shouldn't be the focus here.
Indeed, tell me what Jihad has wrought, what has this current Jihadist refusal to recognize policy achieved so far? I'm seeing claims these are oppressed and refugee encamped peoples. Exactly what other policy would have seen Israel the more dominant figure here? They took a policy of survival, warfare when attacked, and refusal to step backwards in the face of mortal danger nor unpopular but necessary decisions.
Exactly like this current President of the United States.
