If Israel survived 1948, I don't expect it to go anywhere now.

What handicapped Israel during the 90s was the perception, carefully nurtured by the Palestinians and their helpers, that the conflict was not about Israel's existence, but about "occupation", and that Israel was the big bad Goliath next to the poor Pals, who had only boys with rocks, if you were to believe them.

But if Israel is back fighting half the region (the Iran-Syria-Hezbullah axis this time, instead of the Arab League axis) then even newscasters may be able to notice that this is a country with 1% of the population and 0.1% of the land in the Mideast, against much bigger countries, who aren't even bothering with the cover story of "occupation" anymore.
