If the Palestinians don't have a state, they will remain
stateless. The rump "Palestinian Authority" will not be able
to keep internal order any better in the future than it has
recently. The Israeli army will inevitably keep being drawn
into re-occupying Palestinians.
A temporary and de facto Apartheid state, such as the Likud
Party is now running, is bad enough. But a permanent one
will spell the end of Israel in the long term. No European
country is going to want to continue to cooperate with it
under those circumstances, nor most countries in the
global south. Most Israelis themselves do not want to
keep another people in the slave-like condition of
statelessness, or to interact with them only through
brutal military raids. And, an ever-growing Palestinian
population in Gaza and the West Bank without any nationality
of their own may eventually successfully claim Israeli
identity (opinion polling shows about a third of them are
already open to this possibility).
(In other words Israel cannot survive status quo).

The above articles show we are probing for weakness world wide. And our opposition will instantly push back.

But if we attack Iran it will have to be a simultaneous 600
mile wide assault. From NETeheran to Abu Musa Is in
the Straits of Hormuz.

Crude then becomes instantly priceless ($100/bbl&up).
Which means instant/constant Depression.

The clock is ticking.
