A Jewish Goliath?

Yep.  That's what the British Ambassador to Israel, Matthew Gould, said in an interview on Channel 10.  His exact words:  (The Jewish state is today viewed) "as the Goliath and it is the Palestinians who are seen as the David."  He went on to warn that Israelis and their supporters should be concerned about the erosion of popular support for the Jewish state.  This information was reported by the Jerusalem Post.

This description as to how Israel is seen may be correct.  Nevertheless, it is an entirely false picture.  Sure, Israel could easily overrun both Gaza and the West Bank.  But that hardly makes it a Goliath.  This is not a man-to-man contest; it is a tag team match.

Behind the weakly Palestinians, stand all the Islamic states.  Egypt with its the manpower, Saudi Arabia with its oil money, Iran and it's Hezbollah people in Lebanon with their rockets and missiles.  This is no illusion.  When he was still around, Saddam Hussein had no qualms about firing a missile off into Israel from Iraq.  You may recall that America warned Israel against retaliating lest it interfere with its own plans for Iraq.  The hatred for Israel burns equally strongly in Pakistan, Malaysia and Indonesia --Islamic countries that have little idea as to where Israel is actually located other than that it is somewhere west of Mecca.

Who else hates Israel?  Consider Cuba, Venezuela and South American countries that a generation ago welcomed Hitler's henchmen.  Erosion of popular support?  How does one define "popular?"  The make up of the UN makes it clear that no support is to be found here for Israel among the UN's many reptilian members.  As to Israel's "friends", one need only recall the time when France denied Israel desperately needed war planes; fighters that  that had already been bought and paid for by the Israelis.  De Gaulle it seems had decided that the Arab nations were more important to France than Israel.

So who is left?  No country could have a better friend than the American people.  But with Obama and his sidekicks Hillary Clinton and Leon Panetta hollering about a Peace Plan that died on the Abbas door step quite some time ago,  Israel finds itself without much support.  Is it this the Israel  the British Ambassador wishes to warn of eroding support?  Support from whom; the British, the Germans, the French, the Dutch -- all countries with growing Irslamic populations.

Perhaps the country that Israel should turn to is Russia.  They may not be all that likable, but when you see how they stick up for bloody Assad, you begin thinking that, in a street brawl, this is the kind of country you want covering your back.  Certainly not someone like a Jimmy Carter who happened to step into a photo op with Begin and Sadat.  As to Obama?  I'd rather put my money on Romney.
