(again?).
But, really, what is the wick and who lit the fuse? All of these issues are so obtuse that I think they might be deliberate. Why does europe say one thing and vote something else, and America, too? I really am inclined to believe it might be a set-up, (again?) because the emotional agitation engendered by the disproportionate discussion naturally results in escalating tension. Israel is the perfect scapegoat for that tension (in a way, they might serve to "wick" away focus and falsely express catharsis toward the basic injustice). My hunch is tension, scapegoat, catharsis has been employed for at least 500 years. I don't think it will work anymore.
My guess is the Israelis might be the dumb fucks in this whole situation because their military is too top-notch...too top-heavy, too narrow and focused; a little technical creativity (interference with electronic signals, sweetened fuel sic. sugar in the gas tank, dwindling access to material substance ,their access, now, is not natural or guaranteed and they know about poisoning wells. Israel is just too vulnerable to technical or support sabotage and doesn't have the experience to deal with it.
OK, after thinking about the country, I think about the people; if a country is run by dumb fucks should the people carry the burden (I don't know). Practically, though, Israel's success will be dependent on American and European support (however hidden it might be). This is a dependent situation no matter how eloquently it is scribed otherwise thus Israel is serving somebody else's purpose and if they are successful it will be because of forces outside of their control...implying weakness with however many bombs are dropped.
Simply, I think the best course for the people is different than the best course for the power mongers.
