“We face existential troubles, but nonetheless, it appears as though the ability to perceive reality as it is, all that it entails, and to act in order to distance danger and overcome it, is an ability that the Jewish people lack.” —Netanyahu

It’s much more difficult for Israel than 5,10,30 years ago because Muslim power has been increasing all this time. Muslims are stronger, have more weaponry much more petro-dollars.
Hizballah showed exactly how to take on Israel. There was not a repeat war this summer because we have 3 aircraft carrier groups off Iran and Iran would not give the OK. Eventually Hamas and Syria will imitate Hizballah which means firing rockets/missiles into Israel. Then when Israel sends in land forces they will be hit with a wide array of RPGs and anti tank missiles. Some up to date and some older ones. This destroys the advantage of Israeli armor
Last summer (2006) Hizballah was firing anti tank missiles at Israeli positions, not just tanks
When Israel attacks the missile launching positions from the air the destruction gets broadcast by Arab satellite and inflames the Muslim world. Death and destruction is inevitable because the missile and rocket launchers are in populated areas. Hizballah loves this carnage. Muslims get to play the victim on the world stage
The Muslims have constant pressure on Israel. They encircle Israel. This gives some Israelis Stockholm Syndrome
