The strategy employed by Israel the last 70 years has been the same that Lincoln wanted to take. We don't attack first, but if you attack we will defend ourselves (eye for an eye) all the while the PLO gets weaker and Israel gets stronger.
However, after Fort Sumnter Lincoln called for volunteers to go fight, this put the 7 slaves states that hadn't left the Union in a predicament -- do we send our men to go fight the other Southern States? That call precipitated the Civil War.
In the same way will the US and others recognizing Jerusalem be a "Fort Sumnter" event for the Arab nations allied to the US?
