What's truly amazing is the ridiculous analogy that la-d-ha  manages to introduce regarding a very complex situation in the Middle East versus a pretty straightforward one in Asia. If NK does not back off, then within a few years expect Japan, SK and Taiwan to each adopt a nuclear arsenal strategy. If Israel does back off, expect the stateless Palestinians to continue to be outcasts in the Arab world- as they have since before WWI when the rest of the Arab nations disparagingly referred to the people now called 'Palestinians' as 'Town Arabs'. There are more than simply strategic reasons why NO Arab nation has come to the rescue of the 'Palestinians', refugees now in the 3rd and 4th generation of victimhood. The ignorance of North Americans on both Left and Right of the political spectrum with regard to Middle Eastern politics and history is astounding. Where is Hindustan when he's needed?
