“Israel is just going to have to learn to get along.”

What a breathtakingly ignorant comment.

What a breathtakingly empty reply.

I doubt either party is capable of a charm offensive. Israel's grand alternatives include genocide or forced removal of the population. Either invites a possible conflict with one or more of the larger Muslim nations. Turkey has said it would intervene. Israel's only hope would be U.S. boots on the ground intervention.

Uncle Sugar told them to heel and they withdrew from Gaza. Gaza is not going away and the unlawful occupier of Palestinian territory is not taking away the last little bit of Palestine. Israel has the firepower to overwhelm Gaza, yet after months and months of an offensive, there it is. Israel dares not.

What is breathtakingly ignorant is to believe that Israel can go around blowing up diplomatic facilities in a third nation and not lose what little support that it enjoys. It is not easy to suffer a terrorist attack and wind up losing support.

Don't start a major war and expect the U.S. armed forces to die to win it. Cf. Ukraine.

Israel has been under attack since the 1940s. It's a rolling ongoing war Most of their actions are tempered and do not endanger thousands Blowing up an embassy or assassinating a nuclear physicist on the street in Tehran is preferable to launching 250 rockets in downtown Iran. But I hope some one will.
