Here's a question. What would be the consequence of Israel dumping the entire peace plan and taking a hardline approach? Take out Hamas and other leaders without a pause, ignoring every resolution from the UN or protest from Europe. Jailing or removing the terrorists and their enablers from their soil.

The US I suppose could pull military funding. How much is it - does anyone know? Could Israel make due without it.

I think they would do OK in such a scenario, but I can't imagine it ever materializing. I think this has been the plan all along. Israel must react to this threat and we can just sit back and watch. No way we withdraw our support.
