Good post, I basically agree - hence the current policy Israel and America have cooked up of isolation and embargo. Regarding ethnic cleansing, while you speculate, the Gazans suffer under it in reality. I'd give Iran the implicit moral highground because they are pretty peaceful and haven't attempted to ethnically cleanse anyone, unlike Israel in both aspects. Just on the basis of what has actually happened, Israel is an egregiously immoral state. Rich man, eye of a needle and all that. Now, as for whether or not they would... I think they probably would. But that's speculation, not reality.
