I never thought of it that way. You may have a point, however, from what I observed.

- Continued rise in illegal settlements
- Continued assaults on Palestinian infrastructure: "Schools, hospitals, power plants"
- Cut off financially and economically from the world.
- Every-time there is a conflict of some sort, Israel takes another inch. This has been happening for many years.
- I don't think the citizens of Israel want to live under constant threat of rocket attacks either, as a result, I think Israel is slowly, but surely, pushing them out. One way or another.

Also, this is not solely my opinion. Check out Chomsky's address to the United Nations on the matter.
