Oh, yes, nothing like identifying something as a threat and then blowing it up before anyone can investigate to see if it is a threat.

And let’s not forget all of the wonderful help they were in identifying Saddam’ WMD’s, so Iraq could be attacked…

The Likud seem hell-bent on making the country into an international pariah. They aren’t self-supporting, so they are on the road to suicide.

Whatever self-destructive things the Israelis want to do, the right wing Christanists will support. So politically in the U.S., Israel is in the catbird seat. Of course, if they were smart, the Israelis would be wondering why the Christianists so heartily support people (Jews) who the Christianists believe are all going to Hell… hint: it ain’t out of love for Israelis. Rather, it’s to help the Jews along with triggering the Apocalypse, at which point the Jews all perish in war and go to Hell. You’d think the Israelis could figure out that the Christianists ain’t exactly got their best interests in mind, but most of the smart people have been fleeing Israel for the past twenty years, having seen the writing on the walls. We probably have more Israeli computer scientists here in the Silicon Valley than exist in Tel Aviv right now… the only folks who end up staying there are the folks who are either too stupid to get out, or too idealistic to realize just how hopeless the long-term strategic situation is given the current policies of the Israeli state.
