COL. Douglas Macgregor: Israel After a Year of Slaughter (Judging Freedom)

Is Israel facing its 'Little Bighorn' moment? Every country in the Middle East has politically turned against the Israelis. Previously numerous Governments in the region had been placated.

The end game now for the Israelis would be to escalate the situation so that the US becomes involved. When it comes to Iran, they also have Russian support. 

All sides can back down right now, but this would leave a mess when it comes to the status of Gaza and the border with Lebanon. There seems to be a win or be destroyed mentality at place in the minds of the Israeli leadership. The removal of Netanyahu might change this situation. However, practically, the Arab States surrounding Israel have grown much stronger in the last few decades, and if the Israelis don't act now they face annihilation in the near future - if there is a serious war. This present war could certainly be viewed as their 'End Game'.
