This is a conflict that has been escalating and looming for almost 50 years. It will not be over until Israel has been declared victorious by all or until Israel is completely obliterated. There will be no middle ground for the arab countries. I have a friend who was shot 6 times in the back, paralyzed from the waist down because of it and he has been kept from returning to his home country (Lebanon) for 28 years because he had been targeted by the terrorist groups there. He was openly pro-Isreali then and his the terrorists thought his sentiments worth obliterating by shooting a man in the back. The mentality has not changed much. There is very little in this current conflict here that is new news.
I personally believe that when the U.S. decides to turn their back on Isreal we will become non-existant in the world politics. Any respect other countries may have for us will be lost. The U.S has backed Isreal for those 50 some years. To change our mind now would signal weakness to other countries. That's just my 2-cents.
