Five Wars, 63 Years of Terrorism, and Israel Survives

The
people who have given us bagels and lox, potato latkes, and chicken
soup, in addition to the Old Testament, Albert Einstein, and a list of
Nobel Prize winners as long as your arm, are in for yet another
interesting week.
Last week, Palestinian Chairman Mahmoud Abbas announced that the
Palestinian Authority would not make a bid for statehood at the United
Nations. That may have had something to do with massive pressure from
the United States, Europe, and Saudi Arabia.
You can always trust a Palestinian’s word, right? Wrong. The next
day, September 15, Abbas said the PA had changed its mind and would go
to the UN Security Council to ask that it grant statehood to Palestine,
admitting it as a full-fledged member.
He must have gotten a call from Turkey’s Prime Minister, Tayyip
Erdogen, who has been spoiling for a war with Israel and has been urging
the Arab League to join in. It might have something to do with
Erdogen’s beef with Greece that announced that it will begin drilling
for natural gas on Monday, September 19, in Cyprus’s offshore Aphrodite
field. The Turkish air force has been watching the rig, owned by
Houston-based Noble Energy, move from Israel to Cyprus.
This is probably as good a way to start World War Three as any. It
has nothing to do with Israel and everything to do with the decades of
bad blood between Greece and Turkey that includes a divided Cyprus.
Israel, founded in 1948, has been through five wars with its
“neighbors”, endless terrorism and rocketing, and has been openly
threatened with nuclear destruction by Iran.
