Hmmm... I was called anti-semitic on this very forum by some self proclaimed defender of Israel for suggesting that Israel had as a strategy getting other nations to do its heavy lifting whenever it could. Oh well I guess the former defense minister of Israel is also anti-semetic.

Him observing that something "would be preferable" doesn't make it his, let alone Israel's, "strategy". (For paying the bills and such, I guess I think it would be preferable to win the lottery - but that's not my strategy.)

Never was able to figure out why saying a nation was smart enough to convince other people to neutralize threats for them was an insult to the nation.

Good point. You're just marvelling at how good at scheming and string-pulling those people are. I understand.

Its human nature to avoid doing things others will do for you. Atleast thats why the welfare state doesn't produce hard workers!
