#1 I thought the headline was in reference to Americans voting for democrats. Rat baiting instead. nevermind.

#2 a readiness to sacrifice the very regime they established not long ago through a violent coup

A more accurate term would be 'inherited' or 'got stuck with', rather than 'established'.

#3 Remember that Israel, too, has a streak of wanting to commit national suicide as well.

I am reminded of the old western, where a soldier has another soldier as his prisoner, stranded out in the desert. The first soldier has a gun, and the prisoner tells him that when he goes to sleep after days of being awake, he, the prisoner, will take his gun and shoot him. But the guard refuses to shoot the prisoner, because it is his "duty" to bring him in to face trial.

Israel is damned by much of the world as a nasty criminal for protecting themselves from the Paleos. So what are they afraid of?, being doubly damned for driving the threat away for good?
