somewhat offtopic, but has anyone used lldb lately, when I last used it I found it much worse than gdb but I expect it will at somepoint surpass gdb (like the rest of LLVM has done to GNU (if you're on x86_64))

Someone else has pointed this out elsewhere but it's a bit odd to compare israel to scandanavian countries rather than the middle eastern countries that surround it.

So let's ask the same question again: is Israel's behavior arrogant? Possibly, but not really when compared to Iran, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Syria or Qatar

"until some post-Nasserite forces in Egypt got together and decided to kow-tow to Israel and the US during the Camp David accords" Youre describing the camp david accord as if some jewish cabal took control of the administration of egypt. Egypt simply realized life would be better if it didn't go to war with a formidable enemy every 5 years (that is literally the average from 1948-Yom Kippur War in 1973), and it left the soviet orbit and aligned itself more the US.

Israel was ruled by the British empire until 1948 but by 1956 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suez_Crisis) was friendly enough with Britain to side with them in a war. While I think your explanation is partially true, I think it is also an oversimplification. Why can some countries get over colonial interference, while others use it to justify everything they do?

This also begs the question what is Iran's main problem with Israel then? Israel wasn't involved in operation Ajax. Why is it the little Satan to America's great Satan?

Given their conduct in Syria, I find the "sympathy with the Palestinians" slightly hard to believe.
