Romans 10 - 1
Israel needs to put a peace plan on the table with final land status for the world to see.
this battle goes all the way back to Ishmael and Issac. There will forever be a battle between them until the Lord returns.
Making it sound like a virtue. It is not. This is the problem. As long as Israel behaves with "remarkable restraint" and other such insanity labeled virtuous, it will be treated like an alien and insane entity.
It's hard enough for individuals to survive practicing virtues like restraint, patience, brotherly love, and charity; when states practice them, they shouldn't survive.
A government's duty, its reason for being, is to protect and serve its people. Israel needs to muscle up and stop trying to be lambs in a lion world.
The more Israel yields, the more her enemies see blood in the water, and the harder they fight. Those who might otherwise sit on the sidelines (and have anti-semetic tendecies anyway) see a chance to jump on the bandwagon. Its that simple.
PRESIDENT: Can we negotiate a truce? is there room for coexistence? (no answer) Can there be peace between us?
OKUN/ALIEN: Peace? No peace.
PRESIDENT: What do you want us to do?
OKUN/ALIEN: Die, die.
from Independence Day
I believe most of the world, including the US, will abandon Israel which will encourage Russia, Iran and other Arab countries to attack her. See Ezekiel, Chapts. 38 & 39. God is still in charge.
Then it will be the jewel of the Middle east and a blessing for all the Semitic peoples.
