Looks like an opinion to me, so guess i have one as well 
I think its more of the case that you have read something in isolation without actually looking at the context to which the post applies and have therfore made an incorrect assumption, given that now on more than one occasion I have clarified this position for you I find it more likely that you are now simply trying to cover up your own mistake by attempting a strawman argument.
For the last time:
This is not my personal opinion on the current situation or the political and social agenda of Israel, but an illustration of a scenario which addresses the point make by Tefal regarding the assertion that Israel can do whatever it wants without repercussions simply because there is no-one powerful enough to stop them.

No matter how many words you use to try and tell us it wasn't your opinion it was still your opinion on why you think Israel has done/doing. Opinion is still an opinion no matter how you dress it up in conveluted sentences

I very much doubt they lived in peace. No where in the Middle East has every lived in peace
Being as I don't actually think that and if you bother to read the post to which it relates you would, if you had a modicum of objectivity realise that it wasn't my personal opinion but a potential scenario relating to whether Israel are able to do whatever they want without repercussion. I'm afraid that you are simply wrong, no matter how much your comprehension fails you.

Unfortunately, I think your scenario was absolutely correct.
My actual opinion is far more complex than the scenario I used earlier. Israeli politics are pretty convoluted and so is their foreign policy, also Jewish Israel is a country of two halves as regard their public opinion and stance on Palestine. I think if it were up to Netanyahu, then you would be right, if he had his way then all hell would break loose, but Israel isn't Netanyahu and Likud...and thank god for that.
Israel currently outguns the UK...
No one could stop israel if they did decide to go full on genocide simply, because if they did israel would destroy them too on their way out.
MAD applies and frankly not a single nation on the earth cares enough to sacrifice it's self for the Palestinians.

This is what Palestine looked like in 1896.

Everyone lived in peace. My vision and dream is that they will again, one day.

SO someone finds some old pics (lets be honest could be anywhere) and then imagines what they were doing/saying at the time or was he around in 1896 and took the pics himself ?
It doesn't, Israel is largely dependent on reservists and ground policing....just a quick look at the GFM rating puts Israel some way below the UK.
Also Israel has no known way of delivering its suspected nuclear arsenal at Britain, whereas we have a significantly and more importantly, a verified Nuclear Arsenal, which can be delivered anywhere in Israel.
Ethnic cleansing is what they are doing.

Horrific, absolutely horrific.

In fairness 80% of people killed in any military action tend to be civilians bar a few exceptions.
Precisely.
Not really, Israel are hardly "some way" below the UK.
Yes, the numbers are sequential but that does not mean they are comparing a linear relationship hence my comment about the USA. One US carrier battlegroup is most likely more powerful than any other single nation. And of course they have more than one of those groups.
As Xordium says the list is not linear, and in terms of overall military effectiveness and projection they really are some way below that of the UK. If you look at the actual Power Index, you will see that Israel lags behind the UK by some margin.
