The violent and confrontational approach of the Israeli state, the increasing internal corruption, economic and political challenges, as well as the nature of the population within the Zionist state have highlighted the festering wounds of an ailing nation. Presidential sex scandals, bribery charges against the Prime Minister, and organized crime are but a glimpse of what is ailing the small country. The July 2006 war on the people of Lebanon has highlighted the weakening of the political and moral nature of Israel.
The character of the Zionist state is eroding and, if it is to survive as a political entity, more conciliatory approaches towards Arab neighbors and foes will become prudent. Israel can inflict mass destruction on the people of the Middle East. What it cannot do is implement planned political change in the region. Israel's last chance as a viable nation in the region hinges upon its ability to reach out with diplomacy as opposed to subterfuge and war.
