I'm not so sure. My impression (and it's based on relatively little, Nth-hand information) is that many Israeli's feel the need to appear strong and independent and that this is partly driven by a sense (justified or otherwise) of isolation and victimhood. If Israel were further isolated by the international community, the hard-line religious right would push for even more extreme action. Having said that, I'm amazed that anyone in the international community has any time for Israel at all given its past actions.
