Entry: Rethinking 1948 Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/rethinking_1948#28056 Post contents: After visiting Nixon after his resignation, I remember Pat Buchanan relating how when asked about the future of Israel, Nixon gave the thumb down sign. Nixon was a realist. The incessant demographic trends in the region do not lend confidence for Israeli survival. At some point, confrontation with a likely fate should prove sobering. Some Israelis might decide to abandon the state and emigrate; while others might resort to desperate measures. The future of the middle east is likely to be increasingly dangerous as the balance of forces equations change. Sent at: 2008 11 20
