All of a sudden that seems to pose a problem for you. Funny that.

No, it's nothng to do with the prospect of a black US president, that's certainly not a problem for me.
I see it as a very good move for non caucasians the world over and in the US in particular, but I DO see it as a possible problem for Israel, especially with the unfathomable background that Obama seems to have.
I also see the absence of a “European common bond” link between the non-white US population and Israel as a potential problem, and a further issue is what the younger generations actually KNOW about the reality of the war that has been getting waged against Israel since ’47.
For most of them, as well as for most people anywhere, all they see is a powerful military nation apparently kicking a bunch of impoverished poor at every opportunity.
What they don't not see or even know of are the events and circumstances that led up to it, especially the ineffectiveness of military might against a dedicated civilian militia, especially one that is more than ready to use its own civilians as weapons.
It’s funny really. On another thread the place of the Treaty of Versailles was raised as being the primary cause for the emergence of Nazism in Germany.
When we look at the middle east today it’s also pretty clear that the cack-handed way that the defeated Ottoman Empire was dismantled is to blame for so very much of the trouble.

You’re reading into my thoughts about the future of Israel what isn’t there.
What I started was a speculation of the effects that events in the coming, maybe even weeks in view of what Hezbollah are doing in The Lebanon, might have on Israel’s future in a changing world.
