Regardless of the interview's authenticity, if these travel plans are accurate, it is signaling the resurgence of Islamism in the Middle East.
And, Israel is going to have to watch itself and its citizens a LOT more carefully if it's going to expect to stay on that piece of real estate.
Because the neighborhood is moving in together.
These are not the Arab dictators that were each in it for their own personal gain who, still, almost defeated Israel during the last major war.
This is a much more unified and cohesive bloc.
And, really, the one thing that the Israelis need to do, is be nicer to their Palestinian/Arab neighbors and cease depriving them of their rights, their dignity and their resources, such that they can all live comfortably together.
It can come at minimal cost to them, and yield significant benefits in the long run.
And the United States can influence that process for the improvement of the Israeli position in the region, as well as our own.
What is the one thing that will keep them in balance?
Compassion!
Think about it.

Seriously, this is not going to end well for the Israelis if they keep this up.
And I don't care how much technology they bring to bear to protect themselves and their soldiers against the onslaught that could be building against them, if they continue on this callous course of action.
As General Patton observed from history:
"Nobody ever defended anything successfully, there is only attack and attack and attack some more."
"It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change." -Charles Darwin
And, it will only be their fault, as well as ours, if they should end up being swept into the sea as a result of this springing in the Arab world.
Think about it.
