Then you really need to shut the fuck up
If Israel is attacked by many at once it may resort to nuclear weapons. Is that in our interests?
If "Palestine" is recognized as a state what will Israel do the next time missiles are fired from Gaza?
They willl attack, invade, occupy and then annex. Gaza will no longer be treated as a domestic source of terror but instead be dealt with like a country.
Who do you think would invade Israel? That's the beauty of having nuclear weapons...other countries don't tend to mess with you...even if they have them.
If Israel recognizes Palestine, removes troops from their (would be) sovereign land, and leaves them alone, turns the water back on (so to speak), why would the Palestinians fire rockets into Israel, giving the Israelis all the impetus they need to simply take the whole thing over? There would no longer be a need. Now, I'm not suggesting everything would be mai tais and yahtzee on the promenade deck, because again, these folks have been at each other's throats for thousands of years, but it would be a giant step in the right direction.
That may be what they plan to do but that might force Egypt into action. Either way, my humble opinion suggests it's on the Israelis to take care of themselves. We have to divorce ourselves of this policeman of the world mentality...if for no other reason because we now have to turn our attention inward and take care of our own crumbling house.
Heck, who knows, after we get through printing all this money and trashing the dollar, the US might be forced to become more isolationist by default. If we don't watch out, China is going to gobble up all the resources, while we bankrupt ourselves trying to be the modern day Roman Empire. They seem to be doing all the planning, while US is doing all the fighting.
