The bombing of the Iranian consulate in Damascus and storming of Mexico’s embassy in Quito breaks with accepted diplomatic norms − and could spell trouble.
That’s logical and all, and they would certainly have to retool, again though, to what end? Israel is surrounded by people who view democratic government as infidelity to God for which the punishment is death. The widely popular idea throughout the Arab world, especially among the bigger powers, i.e. Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Iran, is that governments should suspend diplomatic relations with Israel and stop recognizing its rights to exist, if they even do recognize it right now.
If the US pulls out support for Israel, what incentive do those nations have not to obliterate Israel and steal back all the holy piles of rocks they think are so important?
