Nothing has changed on the eastern Mediterranean in fifteen years. Hezbollah, the Palestinian Authority and Hamas are still dedicated to destroying Israel.
What has changed is the American president and his Congress. Now when the American president has the guts to say that Israel is well within its rights to defend itself from death proclaiming terrorism, with military force, the rest of the powerful nations in the world are falling in line with Israel and the American president.
Quite a change. Did you notice?
