Maybe there is some truth to the Israeli 'Samson Option'. There is not only a secular, national will to survive in Israel, like all nations have, but there is the Messianic zeal for the End Times in Israel and its Christian Zionists like Mike Huckabee.
While I don't see how Israel can survive the dangers it is facing and creating more and more, I don't see how the Israelis are not going to bring down the region when they would face the inevitable.
PS. Ironically, as much as the Islamic world is accused of 'radicals' by the West, I don't see any major desire to engineer the End Times / Armageddon / Qayamat.
