Except that in this case, Israel is the one with all the nuclear weapons, money, and skills to do the most damage. They've shown before how capable their army is....they are not the weak sister. I can see why Israel protects itself, and that's their right, but they seem to go out of their way to aggravate the situation by ignoring peace agreements (just like the other side does too, they are both guilty). They know they can push the boundaries because there are no consequences.
Why does the prosperity of this country matter so much to the west? We let countries be swallowed up and destroyed all the time. Nobody gave a crap about Hungary or Czechoslovakia when they needed help, and that was in the west's neighborhood. Keeping Israel alive has caused some pretty heavy collateral damage on our end. I want peace as much as the next guy, but I'm not sure Israel is worth it.
