<< I'm thinking in military terms becuase its going to take military action to destroy Israel. >>

This is true but it is not the only possibility.

If Israel is to remain intact as a distinctly Jewish state then a true and open democracy (to Arabs and Jews alike) might well destroy Israel in the Middle East. The Israelis' concern over the Arabs' fertility rate and the contentious debate over the Palestinian right of return more than bornes this hypothesis.

There are also clues in the laws of Israel which suggest a judicial Samson option for the Israelis. It isn't by chance Israel is lacking an official written Constitution or Bill of Rights to guarantee her citizens the full freedom and protection of a democracy. It's rather clever in my humble opinion. Of course, you will never hear about this in the United States.
