[quote=Anonymous]To be clear:  the future of Israel is not on solid ground.  First, it's inevitable that its heretofore militarily-challenged enemies will catch up to it.  We see this already in the recent succession of "draws" that Israel has fought to:  Lebanon, Gaza, and Gaza again.  The Israeli military doesn't seem to be what it used to be.  Every incursion brings a line about, well, we were surprised about this or that.  Why the surprise?  What else do you do all day other than focus on the enemy?  Second, in a decade or so, the national GOP will be reduced to a regional party.  The U.S. will be one nation under Democratic rule forevermore (not making a value judgment here, just a solid observation).  Without a viable GOP, economic and military support for Israel will dry up.  This, combined with the increasingly successful BDS movement, is the long game that Israel's enemies can have faith in (I mean that in a nonreligious sense).  Think tanks, lobbying groups, etc., etc., study these issues endlessly.  But that's it in a nutshell, folks.     [/quote]
