Bernie,
It`s not Israel that will declare war, it will be her neighbors.
There is nothing Israel can do to stop the Arab countries who feel Israel is being cornered and they will soon be able to go in for the kill.
You can`t negotiate with Hamas
You can`t negotiate with Hezbollah
You can`t negotiate with Iran
You may not be able to negotiate with Syria
Israel is a tremendous military power in terms of conventional warfare and will just have to accept the fact they may be forced to use it on any neighbors who get their confidence up and force a war upon her.
In a war of survival, I wouldn`t want to bet against Israel prevailing once again.
