Original article: The Israel rules

wrong analogy

If you are going to invoke the US-Amerind relations as an analogy to the Israel-Gaza conflict, you'd need to fantasize a situation in which the Navajo Nation (or choose any tribe living on a reservation) rejects the treaty signed many decades ago, and shoots rockets daily into Sidonia. Should the US renegotiate the original treaty with the tribe? Or, perhaps, send in armed forces to eliminate the threat to the citizens of Sidonia? Most US citizens would insist on actions to protect it's citizens. The citizens of Israel expect no less from it's nations leaders
