I continue to think that the Zionist project was a nonsense. I do not go on to conclude that Israel should be destroyed. But it has been making 'facts on the ground' since the first settlers arrived, and arrogantly continues to do so. If it cannot bring itself to withdraw substantially, then it is crying out for the other lot, if they can, to make some 'facts on the ground' of their own. Israel plainly has no business in blocking free coming and going, by sea if by no other means. I am sure many thoughtful Israelis know all this.
I am now wondering what the big deal with Iran is. If they do want a nuclear bomb, why not? Why India and Pakistan, plus US China France and us? Do I like the Ayatollahs? No, I think they are barking mad. But it is a sovereign country.
I think you are right about Iran/Egypt -- I think there will be a bit of pouting going on. Tho why everyone seems to think that this means Egypt is kosher (!) beats me -- a President without a constitution? 'There may be trouble ahead'!
