One of the main reasons the Arab states get support from the west is the oil.
If Israel has to fight another major war for its survival they need to grab control of a large percentage of that oil.
This will ensure several things, no boycotts - a boycott of Israel means you get no oil. the seizing of oil assets is a radical step but just how damn long does Israel have to be attacked before radical steps are justified?
Israel could take control of the Suez canal, and control of Iranian oil production...this would be tough, but within the capabilities of an Israel who has taken off the gloves. Control of Saudi oil would be easiest for Israel. Israel should permanently annex the Sinai and Suez if there is another war with Egypt...ensure control of Egypt by rigging the Aswan dam for destruction on a moments notice. The ability to destroy the Aswan and the muslim holy sites on a moments notice would give pause to anyone who might desire to attack Israel again.
Let the entire west kowtow to Israel to ensure a steady supply of oil. Kowtowing to the Arabs has been a disaster.
These things I am saying sound pretty outlandish I know, but once you realize that some day very soon Israel is going to be forced to use nuclear weapons against her adversaries they do not seem so out of bounds. The world letting Iran get nuclear weapons is what is going to bring the world to this disaster. It will be Israel’s time to finally take decisive action in her own interests.
“If Israel has to fight another major war for its survival they need to grab control of a large percentage of that oil.”
Never going to happen. Even at her most hawkish, Israel was too conscious of taking another nations assets. They returned everything of economic value, including the Temple Mount which is controlled by the Islamic Waqf. Taking oil would be seen as a provocation so extreme, it would insure Israel’s removal from the map.
Israel is close to finding their own oil though, using biblical guidance (no, really) to locate it. As mentioned by Bibi, Israel is also leading the way in energy alternatives that will bankrupt the Arab nations, or at least shift the power in Israel’s favor.
