"In the eyes of the world, there is none. Israel's ill repute corrodes US prestige and credibility not just in the Middle East but in the world at large."
Israel doesn't care about other nations' views. It sees itself as a "Hebrew-speaking politico-economic extension of Europe rather than part of the Middle East."
"Nor does Israel appear concerned about the extent to which its policies have undermined America's ability to protect it from concerted international punishment for its actions."
Washington and other Israeli supporters "are far less likely to be able to hold back the global movement to ostracize Israel than in the case of apartheid South Africa."
"America may 'have Israel's back,' but - on this - no one now has America's back."
At the same time, Washington's support gives Israel a "qualitative edge to sustain its military hegemony over others in the region." What can't go on forever won't.
Supremacy "inevitably" is "ephemeral." It's especially true when dependent on external support.
Nations living by the sword seal their own fate. They doom themselves to perish by it. Palestinian liberating struggles won't end. Growing numbers of Jews of conscience are alienated.
