It will probably continue to work so long as Spain gives in to their demands, whatever those demands may be.

Of course, one of the demands for the US is to stop supporting Israel, which is to essentially say, "Sorry guys, you're on your own as far as the Arabs wanting to slaughter you all."

Of course, it would also free the Israelis to do what they want as far as the occupied territories go.

Which of course might lead some nations (like Iran) to conclude that the US wouldn't respond to an attack on Israel.

Of course, Israel might feel it necessary to respond with nukes, possibly pre-emptively if Iran had them.

So should we give in as well?
