1. Now, Israel’s battle-ready Order of Battle givesNATO a dependable, cost-effective, NATO-friendlyshaped Battle Space to protect Greek Cyprus froma Turkish/Muslim Attack and devastation which
began with the Turkishinvasion in 1974.
2. Iran will first topple Jordan soon after a West BankState is created. Hamas will overthrow Fatah in theWest Bank, as they already have overthrown Fatahin Gaza. A West Bank Hamas Palestinian State willhave tens of thousands of smuggled Katyusha Rock-ets (including VX (persistent) and GB (Sarin) nerveagents (Janes)) ranging over Tel Aviv and 70% of Is-rael’s Jewish population. On Iranian orders, Hamaswill fire barrages of rockets into Tel Aviv andJerusalem, provoking an Israeli attempt to mobilizeto reinvade the West Bank which will trigger massiveArab/Iranian long-range missile strikes.
3. Such a simultaneous Muslim Scud/Katyusha at-tack from 5 different directions will annihilate Israel.Israel is NATO’s, and the West’s first, and only lineof defense, against the Westward advance of the Iran-ian Caliphate or a Turkish resurrection of its OttomanEmpire. Turkey is trying to steal billions of dollarsof Greek Cypriot and Israeli Eastern Mediterraneangas resources to fund billions of further IslamicMediterranean military build-up.
4. Without Israel’s Order of Battle protecting Cyprus’Southeastern Flank and Battle Space, with Turkishfrigates and subs infesting the Southern Cyprus wa-ters and cutting off any military reinforcements andwith Haifa as Iran’s New Eastern MediterraneanNaval Base, Cyprus, Crete, Rhodes and even Greecewill be lost to Turkey and the Iranian ShiiteCaliphate. Iranian now-existing Shahib medium-range missiles (1000 miles) will range and coversouthern Europe from their new bases in Yafo,Greater Iran. Greece will become indefensible. Iranand/or Turkey will be on Europe's doorstep.
Israel IS NATO’s South-Eastern Flank defending Cyprus, Rhodes, Crete,and even Greece, against Turkey and an Iranian-occupied Israel.

A demilitarized Palestinian WestBank / Gaza State will turn Israelfrom a U.S. Strategic Asset and
Bulwark to Middle East Terror that isable to defend itself, into a defenselessU.S. liability, inviting attack - unableeven to defend itself, let alone project
American military power.
1. ISRAEL as a self-defensible U.S. strate-gic asset: With the Golan Heights (a), theWest Bank mountain range (b) and theGaza Strip (c) under Israeli military control,Israel is immune from a short- to medium-term existential threat.

2. ISRAEL as an indefensible U.S. strategic liability, invitingattack: Without the Golan Heights, the West Bank mountain rangeand the Gaza Strip under Israeli control, but instead under hostileArab control, Israel will be strategically vulnerable and exposed toa short-term existential threat. Such a conflict will be fueled by con-tinued Arab terrorism against Israel.
3. ISRAEL: the First DominoWithout the natural mountain defenses of the Golan and West Bankmountains, and with Israel’s ability to mobilize degraded, Israel wouldbe easily destroyed and occupied by Syria and Egypt. Even a heavilymilitarized Palestinian State will be unable to militarily contain eitherthe Syrians or the Egyptians. Hezbollah, the Syrians and the Egyptianswill all vie for the occupation of the coveted Jerusalem.
4. JORDAN: the Second DominoWithout Israel as its strategic protector, Jordan would be easilyencroached by the militarily powerful Hezbollah, Syrians,Egyptians and Shiastan/Iran. Syria currently sees Jordan asSouthern Syria and will fulfill its vision of Manifest Destiny.
5. SAUDI ARABIA: the Third DominoWith the militarily powerful but oil-poor Egyptians and Syrians,and Shiastan/Iran on Saudi Arabia's northern border, Saudi Arabiawill cease to exist. Without the Suez Canal under friendly occupa-tional control, the Western powers will be unable to resupply ordefend Saudi Arabia.
