Is it that they all have nuclear weapons GFS?

The most significant thing in my opinion is the positions taken by Iran, Syria and Hezbollah since the Israeli assault began. None have offered nearly so much support for Hamas and Gaza as they did during Operation Cast Lead three years ago . This can only be because they are aware that Hamas, which is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood , moved its international HQ to Qatar earlier in the year to join the emerging anti-Syrian , anti-Iranian, Sunni consensus being constructed in that country under the guidance of Saudi Arabia and the watchful eye of the US - Israel's main ally . The Muslim Brotherhood in Syria is very much part of that emerging consensus .

Because the Israelis didn't send in ground forces ,Hamas is able to sell the past eight days of slaughter as some sort of a victory for itself and the people of the enclave. But it was nothing of the sort. In the same week that he announced dictatorial powers for himself ,it was Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood President, Mohammed Mursi that negotiated the ceasefire between Gaza and Israel, with the approval of Washington ,because it allows the US to concentrate on its strategy of regime change in Syria and then Iran. This explains the words of Netanyahu in agreeing to the ceasefire, , "We also have other fronts. We must take into account the entire picture."
