Israel's New Challenges

Submitted by Ilbert Phillips (United States), May 16, 2011 at 13:24

Israel is in a tough spot and has some very difficult decisions to make in light of Egypt opening its borders and the inevitable weapons Iran will transport to Hamas accross that border. The demonstrations are designed to create the illlusion that they are the same or similar to those in Syria, Tunisia, Egypt and Libya. The one steppers (Hamas: kill Israel now) and the two steppers (PA: get a state and kill Israel) have joined forces. Are they now the 1-1/2 steppers ? The UN will vote on whether to establish a state with the '67 cease fire lines as the borders and President Barach Hussein Obama will live up to his Muslim name and provide Israel with some impossible options, all favorable to the Arabs. In short, the Arabs get a victory even though they lost the war.
