>Z, I disagree. Israel is not stronger than the combined might of the Arabs. They have succeeded this far in keeping the Arabs at bay because of the Arabs own divisiveness, their [the Israelis] military prowess and the US standing behind them.

>Israel needs the West a lot more than the West needs Israel. So I don't think Israel wants the international community [read, the West] off its back anytime soon.

Israel had very, very little western support until the mid-60s. Israel could defend itself against the Arab states again. Having said that, it would be much better if they had the support of the west, and when the time comes (which it almost inevitably will), I'd hope the U.S. would stand firmly behind Israel.
