I think the Arabs got a little more than what they had bargained for.
I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you on that. I just said that the Israeli government fits the 'fascist' description The State of Israel certainly has fought hard for it's survival, however I think that it threatens to undercut world sympathy (a vital source of it's power) if it continues any further down this aggressive path. Make no mistake, Hamas is making no friends either, but the miltancy balance is far too delicate at this point of time to go swinging around a club right now.
And yes, 'the world' did make this mess, and it is up to 'the world' (logically through the UN) to clean it up. This conflict will be resolved with neither Palestine or Israel being dissolved as indigenous entities, never give up on that. It will just be a long, costly and painful process for all involved. But such are all worthwhile things.
