I think Israel will always be seen as an occupying power in the Middle East (48 borders), certainly among most people even if most of the governments are American poodles. Therefore, I see Israel going the way of the Ottoman Empire, not anytime soon but in the long run.
It is not really a puzzle about the Palestinians killing eachother. I mean, think about it. So, John Kerry got his a$$ beat by George Bush in the 04 election. Imagine that Kerry didn't concede defeat like a man, but instead decided to call out the National Guard onto the streets, got the various liberal unions to go on strike, asked the Cuban govt for weapons and military training for his guards. The idea is beyond comprehension. When you loses an election, you graciously concede defeat and work as the opposition pary WITH the governing party for the benefit of your people and country, and hope to do better next time.
