They would pay the consequences eventually if they do, and if this indeed is done to build up Israel, then it will only lead to it being torn down that much faster. Karma exists and it works across people, groups, and nations. Israel had a wave of goodwill after WWII that it could had rode on forever if they could have just let go of the idea of conquering and controlling everything for its own preservation. Which is sad, because I like Israel as an idea. The execution of it has just been awful.

Good point (re: could have rode it out forever).

Out of curiosity, why do you like Israel as an idea?

Well, it's basically a huge theme park for both Christians AND Jews worldwide, and there are a ton of Muslim rides there too. Why not have it? Everyone can go, and have a great time, and maybe even become friends. The problem is that it has to be owned and operated by an unaffiliated third party, like the Native Americans or Aborigines or something. Otherwise we get the shit show we have now - everybody fighting over the same three square miles of supposedly "holy" land that is at this point so blood-soaked that Newark, New Jersey looks like the Vatican in comparison.
