It sounds like your gripe is more with the American system than with Israel. For what it's worth, Israel may be a chihuahua, but the reason that a chihuahua holds it's own with the big dogs is because the chihuahua has more at stake in a confrontation. Israel is a Nuclear power, and that's not by America's influence. So the notion that Israel is only tough because of American force is patently false. Further, the notion that Israel stole land (from who? the Iranians?) and that's the source of the aggression is absurd. Hint -- Iran doesn't recognize Israel's title to any land in the region, let alone contested territory. Iran and Israel further used to have friendly relations with Iran pre revolution. Why the policy change then, and not earlier?
