The issue is plain and simple, don't over complicate matters.
Have the nations surrounding Israel declared their intent to eliminate it, or not? If the answer is "yes" than obviously Israel is justified in any effort to counter such a threat. If not, then criticism of Israel may be valid. But first provide the evidence. My view is that the evidence is clear. Phenomenal shifts are needed, but not by Israel.

Maybe Israel (and ttbn too) need to learn the old rule
'If you always do as you've always done, then you'll always get what you always got'.

Isn't it funny how Jews have been historically kicked out of 109 countries 1030 times?
If they keep acting this way another Hitler might rise to 'mow their grass' again, as they've been doing to others for decades.

In my opinion, if they wish to live by the sword in hatred and vengeance, then they're signing their own demise.
They are a deeply troubled nation and people and a danger to the lives of others.
