Israel doesn’t have a free hand. It depends heavily on the US for aid, and if Israel did what is necessary to crush the Palestinians once and for all, the Arabs would squeal with outrage, as would western public opinion, and the US would stop its aid, and the EU would impose full scale sanctions, both of which would bring Israel’s economy to its knees and make them more vulnerable than ever to a rich Arab world well equipped with modern weapons from threatening Israel.

I think Israel could get by fine without US aid. Israel is linked with the US and blackmailed in a sense to receive aid so that Washington can openly influence Israel’s policies. I realize this view isn’t ever stated or commonly expressed not in the US or Israel; and it doesn’t help that the US gives an enormous if not more aid in total to Israel’s neighbors. I’ll repeat myself I think given Israel’s GDP and the resources from Jewish people world over the country would be better off not taking any aid from other countries. Sanctions from Europe and especially the until now unthinkable sanctions or limits from the US market are what would concern them. Obama and his handlers and their minions truly despise Israel and are working hard along with Israel’s internal 5th column to set up what will be the endtime’s scenario.
