Excellent post. I think most Americans think of Israelis as monolithic when in fact there is more political division there than here. They are certainly their own worst enemies. A recent Maariv poll had 42 percent of Israelis supporting the Saudi plan to give back everything post-1967 in exchange for Arab recognition.

Sharon is already on very shaky ground, and he is hamstrung by the necessity to hold a majority of these various factions together, which must be like herding cats. Meanwhile, the Palestinians seem to be in total support of unequivocal, unrestrained, unpredictable terrorism. I think they have come to the conclusion that they have nothing to lose, world opinion be damned, they'll resort to pure unequivocal evil and test the Israeli stomach for genocide and ethnic cleansing.

I am not as certain as you that Israeli victory is a foregone conclusion, however. Israeli self-destruction is definitely in the cards, as is WWIII, which scares the hell out of me.

Israel has all the military power in the neighborhood. They have no competition worth mentioning. As for WWIII, we're already in it.

RIGHT! Appeasing Muslim crazies and Jihadists is a sure formula for peace. How clever you are! I am in awe of such genius!

Are you familiar with the *Samson Option* as a part of the Israeli national policy on the use of nuclear weapons?
