Israel and Iran -- more alike than not.

The arrogance of 2 nations (and their duplicity) was demonstrated in 2 stories: one, Israel's assasination of a top Palestinian government official (at a time when Abbas was trying to work out a peace deal), and two, Iran's resumption of nuclear fuel enrichment (at a time when the rest of the world -- including the US -- was making major concessions to Iran).

Thumbing noses at other countries. Signalling their desire to play only by their rules.

Ironic that these same countries are threatening each other.
