Without firing a shot? We just went through a nasty little war, where we were forced to slaughter women and children who were deliberately placed in harm’s way in order to score PR points against us and have the usual whores compare our troops to Nazis. What’s worse is that it was ended prematurely and it’s liable to start again any time, and not necessarily with the same minimal casualties on our side, though surely with the same subhuman behavior on theirs.
I believe you misread my post. Gaza is not a sovereign nation, and while it is a major nuisance, Gaza does not pose an existential threat to Israel. My point is the sudden dissolution of Syria, Iraq and Libya and the growing threat to secular Muslim governments in Jordan and Egypt.
