The jig is up for Israel,what happens is impossible to predict. I have a suggestion of a couple ways this could go that can have positive results. The state of Israel is sabotaging the 2 state solution because it does not want a sovereign Palestine and refuses to be a single integrated democracy, let alone follow any international laws or the UN. The flotilla attack was an attack on NATO and of course NATO will not go to war with them.
Along with their nation-long history of ethnic cleansing, terrorism and expansionist war starting in 1967, the sinking of the USS Liberty, targeted assassinations like killing wrong people in retaliation for Munich, clumsily assassinating a Hamas leader in Dubai using the stolen passports of countless nations--putting those passport holders at risk for retaliation they have bombed Lebanon several times (losing the last "war"), massacred Gaza--continues bombing Gaza again and starves the population with an illegal blockade, threatening to bomb Iran and now moving nuclear subs into Iranian waters.
Israel has roughly 150 nukes and refuses to acknowledge them, sign on to the weapons treaties, or allow inspectors in. We know know Israel tried to give nukes to Apartheid South Africa. The recent grab to claim all of Jerusalem and other illegal settlements will make peace impossible. This 'Little Sparta' has gone too far and will not stop. Laws, ethics, morality, conscience, reality--nothing will push Israel to do right. I highly doubt the Israeli public wants to take this psychopathic suicide ride with their government and those that do are no different than brainwashed nationalist thugs in any country-that is not uniquely Israeli.
This is a lunatic, terrorist (not the only one in history) state that will not be appeased by any amount of leeway awarded to them by the US. We have shown them they can do what they want without even a tongue lashing. Though she apologized, Helen Thomas' statement was essentially correct, if they can colonize they can de-colonize. It was done in Africa and elsewhere. Time to dissolve the current Zionist project and move forward in peace as a multiracial country or multiple, allow Palestinians to return and get their stolen lands back, and if Israelis want to stay, they can, but should share a country with everybody else as equals not just as first class citizens over others. Why does Israel get to be a one race state? That is not democracy. Everybody else is a melting pot. That there are so many Jews around the world and the Israelis could easily rejoin the diaspora, there is no risk of disappearance of Jewish demographics, Jewish culture, etc. Nobody goes extinct. Remove the nukes and declare a nuclear free Middle East. Israel, USA, England and UN should pay reparations and all humanitarian costs for enabling the founding of Israel in the first place. Through NATO/UN, the Western powers unilaterally dissolved Yugoslavia and created an 'artificial state' against the self determination of the peoples. The Middle East as we know it is a construct of the old empires carving up the region and creating countries and borders. Pakistan was a creation of the West as well. It is not unfeasible to "end a country". Maybe the people of Israel/Palestine and the world community can come to a consensus of how to dissolve this settler colony in a way that is fair to all involved and lays the foundation for a peaceful tomorrow. That's a tall order, but a first step that could happen without going as far as I suggest would be to end the sick Israeli exceptionalism, get humble, join the community of nations/international law and stop the occupations/blockade, accept their pre 67 borders, end illegal settlements and accept a real Palestinian state. That has been doable for decades. Let's see what the lunatic state does.
