Yes, I'm not disagreeing with anything you wrote. If I can continue. There's an old saying, "At the King's Pleasure". For Israel that has been the U.S. and Russia (after Zionists pushed Britain out). My Israeli friends go on and on about how Israel doesn't need anyone. I'm sure those words were spoken 3,000 years ago too ;)

Israel has created huge headaches for both Kings. Whatever happens in Gaza. Afterwards, the Kings will come calling (though it may be Asia, who knows).
