Lecture 7: primary threats to israel in 50s, 60s, 70s was powerful neighbors with big militaries. Issue now has become the breakdown of the states & the chaos from them. Syria, north east of israel, going through civil war for a while now, israel has to be concerned with this. If assad government were to regain control, could mean permanent iranian presence in syria, which could be bad for israel, but also could be good because israel knows how to handle/deal with them. Israel has good relations with russia, bad with turkey & iran. Israel in condition where they permanently have to play with what they"re dealt; do whatever they have to do to keep most stable/secure (switching sides/allies/who you pair with whether or not they actually like them) Israel does not have a constitution; some want one because of concern over human rights.
