To these people obsessed with zionism, why dont you stop bitching and moaning. If you wanna know why Israel is so powerfull, its not a zionist world conspiracy, its because arab countries suck at power politics. Sure, they have the US as an ally, so do half the Arab nations. Its not Israel thats the real problem, its that every country surrounding them are idiot states.

Important insights from Zelikow; future behavior/outcomes can't always be predicted from history, but history is useful for understanding situations and possibilities.

Also, to better understand why people/institutions/nations have made the choices they have, and to predict the choices they might make in a given situation/the future, it's important to understand how they see the world, and what they see as their options.
