"WHAT ISRAEL WANTS: Israel's policy has been quite explicit and clear for a long time. Israel wants neighboring nations that are either backward and chaotic OR are ruled by regimes that are obedient to it. A backward obedient regime would be the most desirable. "


acctualy i talked to many israelis and they really do want neighboring nations to be democratic. I said why would you want that wouldn't it be much better to just have have good relations with the dictator of a regime in control of a nantion. i baisicy said it would be easier to apiase one man thene apiasing the majority.

her response was no most arabs are acctualy very rational and the majority would want peace. this was along the same lines of response i got from those i talked to. obviously more detailed and longer but that most of there mined set.
this type of thinking is not surperizing when
Israel has the highest ratio of university degrees to the population
in the world.
