Those are dangerous thoughts there.

Stephen Walt at his new FP home has an interesting thought experiment up considering what would be the response today if the Arabs had won the Six Day war and it was the hardline inhabitants of a Jewish rump pseudo state firing rockets.

Rather I should amend my characterization and say it could be interesting. But unfortunately Walt is just a bit lazy and takes the wikipedia history of the conflict and just flips the names. While I do appreciate his and Mearshimer's 'Israel Lobby' state the obvious paper for opening a dialogue, the goal here is pretty simplistic and unhelpful.

This exercise could be useful for developing final settlement principles for the US if you play out a true remapping from 1973 that contextualizes it within the Cold War, which was a major driving force for the decision making during most of that period. I also think another useful avenue for research would be dating the emergence of the Israel Lobby.
