Not too sure about this one ... Israel is a "client state" of the USA. The US may or may not tell them what to do directly; it could be that as long as Israel acts in a way that the US considers is in the best interests of the US, they can do what they want in their sphere of influence. However, Israel is not out of control. It is controlled by Washington. If Washington pulls the plug, Israel is off down the tubes.
But however one may feel about Israel, I do think it's quite obvious that their military policy is an inevitable consequence of being in a position where losing is not an option. And I still believe that the only nation in the world which is truly a law unto itself is the United States of America.
