4. The "Greater Israel" push has been in the works for a long time

and most people ignored that it was a very real and ongoing plan. As we are seeing in Syria and Lebanon and out into International waters that also means the right wing whackos in Israel also intend on "buffer zones" that extend way beyond their borders or maritime authority but they will station troops, conduct raids/bombing and deploy ships for interdiction well outside of their jurisdiction.

They know that the world community will do nothing more than use words. The world community should have taken an aggressive armed response to all of this after 1948 but certainly after 1967. But the US has kept running interference for them at the UN so here we are. No European country on it's own wishes to act although they could. I do feel that the Israeli public would throw out the right wing whackos if they suddenly lost several jets and ships.
