Barnett thinks the Israel excuse is pretty flimsy:
Israel's 200 nuclear warheads provide all the genocidal capacity it needs to adequately defend itself. This strategic Goliath can hardly pass as David any more, meaning any American obligation to ensure survival was fulfilled long ago.
Now, with such great power comes great responsibility. There are no chosen peoples in such strategic calculations, just immeasurable risk for a species.
We are way beyond anyone's claim on "holy lands" at that point.
Great piece.
