agreed. which is why I kind of find it just noise. The barebones facts are that jewish israelis are a dramatic minority in their own country, let alone the entire middle east, and they have a strong majority of the power in the region. This is just textbook ingredients to instability, one that must reach a comfortable steady state eventually. Where opinion comes in is exactly how that steady state will be achieved. I really doubt its going to be by a massive exodus of jewish israelis out of the region. Nuclear atrocity, maybe.

but hopefully it will just resolve itself by peaceful rebalancing of power.
