I wonder what the future is holding for little Israel.

With the sentiment for the country changing so much in part because of the things that the Israeli government have had to do (plus a few that they’ve done for their own reasons!) and that have been so adroitly “spun” by the Palestinian leadership and their apologists, I do see the risks growing for Israel.

Then there’s the changes taking place in the US.

Demographic changes with most of the population now knowing only what they’ve seen reported in recent years, and with little or no knowledge of what led up to the creation of Israel, a growing isolationalist view of things that do not directly work to the advantage of the US, and now the distinct possibility of Obama as the next president.

I do wonder if sometime early in Obama’s presidency an attack was to be made against Israel, and the events in the Lebanon not to mention the extending of the range of rockets being fired from The Gaza Strip and the amount of support coming into that region, it would look as if things could become very nasty indeed with the US refusing to get involved.

Especially if the oil weapon was to be used, and now the huge risk the US faces as a result of its massive foreign debt which also could be used to attack America.

After all, how long could the US manage if it’s currency was devalued by 30%, 400% or even more if “knock on’s” were factored into such an attack using the finance weapon.

I’m glad that I don’t live in Israel. I fancy things are about to get really nasty within the next 24 – 36 months.
