"It looks like the Arab Spring, but it can also be a radical Islamic winter," he said in a speech at the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv.

7. Good luck with that.

Good luck with that war. US has had enough of it. If the Jews and Arabs want war, fine. Let them. US should work for peace, but if war comes; US should stay out of it. We have enough problems at home. We should be worrying about US needs,fixing our own country, and helping our won people. China and Russia want to be big powers on the world stage. Let them mediate a solution. Let them see what it is like to get kicked in the balls all the time.

5. More Israeli propaganda to justify their theft of Palestine

Fear mongering to ensure they keep their 5 billion in US military aid in order to keep the land they have stolen.

Try a one state non religious state and make peace already!
