Israel's Future if it Continues on its Present Course: Worldwide Boycott, Isolation and Castigation

When was the last time that you didn't read or hear that Israel was threatening to attack Iran and its nuclear facilities, and that it was trying to involve the U.S. government? By now, the entire world is sick and tired of listening to Israel's ultra aggressive Prime Minister, Bibi Netanyahu, beating the drums of war. The nations of the world have witnessed the behavior and actions of Israel for many decades and the majority of them now find it to be completely unacceptable.

And, because a great many of these nations believe that the unjustified and highly aggressive actions of the Israeli government against the people of Palestine and its neighbors in the Middle East are getting out of control, a movement to initiate boycotts, divestments and sanctions against Israel is well underway and is growing in scope and intensity.

There is no way of knowing just how extensive this movement to censure Israel is but with each passing day there are more nations and entities within these nations that are making it known that they are in total disagreement with Israel's hubristic agenda. The government of Israel has shown that it is out of touch with the world and is totally unable to carry on normal relations with nations and people of different ideologies and beliefs.

The world community was horrified by the Israeli siege of the city of Gaza that began on December 27, 2008 and the violent actions its commandos took against the Freedom Flotilla ships that attempted to deliver humanitarian supplies to the people of Gaza in 2010. Now the world listens to Mr. Netanyahu's endless tirades against Iran as he readies an attack on that nation's nuclear facilities that he insists are in the process of creating nuclear weapons. He totally dismisses the conclusions of the IAEA (the International Atomic Energy Association) and U.S. intelligence agencies that do not agree with his assessment.
