Israel's military mobilizes for a ground invasion of the Gaza strip

Besides the Palestinians Israel's fiercest enemies are radical Islamists in different Muslim countries. They use Israel's existence and the Palestinian cause as a lightening rod, to advance the cause of fundamentalism in their own countries. Egypt, Lebanon, Iran, Libya, and Malaysia are also enemies of Israel and Venezuela is becoming more hostile under the rule of Hugo Chavez.

A country like the U.S. who is Israel's biggest supporter becomes by proxy an enemy to these countries, as well as radical Islamists in other countries.

It's a no win situation that can only get worse.
