      iirc, they tried, and when the us intervened they put sanctions on the U.S. …yeah, the U.S. didn’t take economic sanctions for thier war crimes very well and uh, committed more war crimes.

        You mean 1973? That was retaking territory they had lost in 1967. By 1973 Israel’s existence was a fait accompli and they really weren’t going anywhere. The war crimes bit is true, however, though it’s a small comfort that the Oil Crisis precipitated the economic crisis that got Reagan elected.
