Isreal follows America's lead by destroying it's own credability.
The middle east isn't going to get any better until somebody in that fight smartens up a bit and decides to become the grownup. Until just recently, I thought that was going to be Isreal.
For a brief, wonderful moment, it seemed as if Isreal had finally come to the realization that their problems aren't going to solved by continued reliance on their superior military. You know, that same one America seems to be coming to.
Instead, now it looks like we're in for more of the same. Even Al Queda, who would normally never bother interfering with this have promised to get involved. Just further evidence of the result of those kind of tactics- further radicalization of the various muslim communities.
Isreal is currently attempting to buy time before a cease fire deal, so they have longer to conduct military operations, more time to kill more people which basically guarantees more people with nothing to live for other than Isreal's destruction. Which probably works out well, because then Isreal will have a whole new, even more radical movement to use as their excuse to invade again, some years from now.
