Last time I checked, both Jordan and Egypt are not enemies of Israel. Neither is Lebanon, though they don't have great control over Hezbollah. Lastly, Syria is so phucked up that they don't currently represent a threat to Israel. So, none of Israel's bordering states are sworn enemies.

As for these "sworn enemies" getting Palestinians to do their dirty work, the Palestinians are fighting for their own freedom/dignity/homeland, not as agents of Iran (though they do indeed use Iranian weapons).

PFFFFFffffttttt.....

Reckon their freedom/dignity/homeland wasn't so important when their homeland was occupied by Egyptians and the Jordanians rather than Jews.

Police prevented 200 far right Jews from attacking interfaith marriage. The crazies are on all sides.

Jeez-O-Pete, that dress looks like some of the stuff Madonna used to wear on stage.

Anyway...you want to see morons in action...sit around and wait for some religious extremists to find something to be upset about. You won't have to wait long. I can't wait for next Thanksgiving so we can have the next round of The Death of Christmas on FOXNEWS.

Sounds like something Sun Tsu would recommend. The Israelis are sharp on the tactical/strategic dynamic.

Depends on how one defines enemy.

The Palestinians are pawns.

I thought that was my point.

PS - nobody hates Israeli Jews any less, or considers them the enemy any less than anybody did in 1946. So saying Jordan and Egypt aren't Israel's enemies is pretty much a steaming load of horseshit. Sit down with any candid Saudi multimillionaire oilman and ask him about Jews. He'll tell you Jews are scum. It's the same pretty much all over the region. And it's not just Israeli Jews...it's just Jews.
