#1 Can't appease Int. Opinion by anything short of a complete destruction of Israel. In fact, can't appease it even by a complete destruction of Israel. Just bring the "Jewish Problem" back to 1933.

#2 As for Israel's neighbors, they had 13 centuries to make a go of "Palestine." Instead, they turned the Land of Milk and Honey into a desert.

The ecological reclamation of the land of Israel is nearly as dramatic as the creation of a Jewish state. (Indeed, environmentalists of real integrity should count among Israel's strongest advocates.) That return to the garden is as humiliating to feckless Arab cultures as their military defeats.

And we won't even talk about Israel's introduction of rule-of-law democracy into the wretchedly governed Middle East.

SMACKDOWN!

Israel reminds me of nothing more than a child seeking approbation from a physically abusive parent. What use is any approval from someone who wants only to harm you? Israel must free itself from any reliance upon world opinion and go about the task of permanently ensuring its safety and security. Purging the Palestinians from Gaza and the West Bank must be their first priority. No Palestinian State. No terrorists within their borders. No right to return. No compensation. No further toleration of proxy terrorist attacks. Further meddling by Lebanon, Syria or Iran should result in calculated strategic strikes that cripple those terrorist havens.

#3 Further meddling by Lebanon, Syria or Iran

Soodies, Zenster. Take out Soodies and 90% of the World's Islamic problem (I believe where are rational, sort of, people in Iran---they just need to get the right kind of message) are over.

#4 As said before, the Saudis may be in favor or support a Global Muslim State, but they are NOT in favor of the same being dominated or controlled by Persia = IRAN. Remember, the Saudis view their country as smack in the middle of the "Lands of the Bible", including the TORAH + QURAN, etc. For third-party, peripheral nations, even iff Muslim, to dominate the "Lands of the Bible"" + Arabian Peninsula will be interpreted as a sign of God's disfavor = punishment.
