In every Israeli-muslim conflict I can recall the US and UN swoop in to save the muslims the minute it becomes clear that Israel will be able to finish off their muslim antagonists.
It happened in the Six Day war.
It happened in the Yom Kippur war.
And it happened in the 2006 Israeli-Hezbollah war in Lebanon when Condi Rice made all sorts of promises to Israel to get them to cease fire before they totally destroyed Hezbollah.
Of course once the Israelis agreed to a cease fire, Condi forgot all about her promise to prevent Hezbollah from rebuilding and re-arming.
That’s one reason why we must insist on what comes out of the “Egyptian block” as opposed to the “Qatari block” ... because Egypt is not putting up with nonsense from Hamas and Israel is cooperating with Egypt!
