The Palestinians are powerless, but have powerful friends who will come to their aid. Israel can't afford a long, drawn out war of attrition. And the rest of the world can't afford World War III.

If by "come to their aid" you mean funding and lip service, yes. If you mean "go to war for them", no way. Do you see any Arab armies mobilizing? Only Hizbullah, which operates in an occupied country and is paid by masters who think they are safe from direct reprisal. Iran is big enough and far enough away so it's correct about this. Assad, however, is making a stupid assumption.
