Israel's Dangerous Crisis of Confidence

Con Coughlin writes in the Daily Telegraph that Israel's ongoing political crisis has gladdened the hearts of its enemies, who are emboldened by the perceived weakness of the Jewish State. Indeed, Israel has never felt so beleagured since the period immediately prior to the June 1967 Six Day War. Coughlin notes, however, that Israel's foes would be well-advised to remember the results of that confrontation, and recognize that Israel is never more dangerous than when it has its back against the wall.
