Israel is conducting a PsyOP: polarising minds via military force and indignation.

All over this board, those that support Israel are firing up at those who defend Gaza, becoming more and more defiant that Israel has a right to defend itself and do whatever it takes, "enough is enough", "this is a defensive operation" etc . . .

Israel's actions are making us choose. And this could just be stage 1. But what will stage 2 involve? Iran? If Obama's administration is going to lose interest in Iran, then Israel are going to have to go it alone. But if Israel can polarise America first, then, as conservatives scream loudest, it will provide the greater leverage on the USA to back-up any Israeli actions.
