A 3rd world war??
After reading the article assigned, I can see why people are saying that the conflicts between Israel and Palestine could start a 3rd world war . In the article "Beyond Cairo, Israel Sensing A Wider Siege" Ethan explains that Israel found itself becoming more and more isolated from the Middle East after Palestine was trying to seek statehood, and also after Turkey expelled the Israeli ambassador because they didn't want to apologize after killing people during a raid on a Turkish ship last year. This situation could easily start a 3rd Word War due to the fact with every Middle Eastern countries rebelling against their government. The USA would eventually get involved and try to aid israel while France aids Palestine. A perfect set up for a new world conflict yet again.

Though the idea of a third world war is realistic i have to doubt that it will actually come to that only because with the U.S. already stretched to the max, it is unlikely they will be able to back up Israel in a full blown war.
