Israel: the Polish Analogy

In NRO, Jonah Goldberg discusses the role of Israel as the focal point of a struggle that is not only one between the West and its enemies, but also between the twin evils of al-Qaeda and Hizballah:

It’s clear that Israel isn’t going to be a Czechoslovakia thrown over the side by the West. What’s less clear is whether it might eventually become a Poland, a nation carved up under a temporary truce between twin evils (the so-called Hitler-Stalin pact) before they went at each other’s throats.
