Who or what is the biggest enemy to Israel?? [View all]

It is not Hamas. It is not the Palestinians. After all, these same folks call America the "Great Satan". They don't believe that we have a right to exist either. Sticks and stones are not a threat to our existence. It is our own actions that are a bigger threat.

When a hammer is the only tool that you have, every problem looks like a nail. Diplomacy is never an option.

Understandably so, there is a national insecurity within the country of Israel. For generations, survival has been the primary concern of its citizens. Every word and every action by any of its neighbors is taken as a direct threat to their existence. They react violently to these perceived threats, real or imagined. Israel and its supporters believe them all to be real. Their paranoia is real.

However, the biggest threat to Israel is Israel and their supporters in the US Government. So long as every action is justified and legitimized by our Government, Israel will never look for any other tool but their hammer.
