Does the Jewish state's government act as they do out of fear or conviction?

Why is Israel destroying itself from within? Giving up land, refusing to defend itself, removing citizens from lands rightly conquered from Arab attackers and allowing foreign interests (American) dictate its policies is without precedent. If Israel falls, the middle east will become a monolithic block of Muslims.
Does the Jewish state's government act as they do out of fear or conviction?
By Caroline B. Glick
FROM JEWISHWORLDREVIEW:
From October 26-30, a mob of Druse villagers in Peki'in in the Galilee launched what has all the markings of a pogrom against the four Jewish families in the village. They burned their cars and surrounded and torched their homes.
The police took a full day to come to the Jews' defense. And when they did, the Druse mob kidnapped a policewoman and only set her free in exchange for their cohorts who had been arrested. The police then set about evacuating the Jews from their encircled homes and did nothing to prevent their homes from being destroyed by the mob.
Now the Knesset's Interior Committee is demanding that a governmental commission of inquiry be set up to investigate what the Druse claim was police brutality in attempting to disperse the violent mob. For its part the Olmert government is distancing itself from Internal Security Minister Avi Dichter's decision to suffice with an internal police investigation of the policemen's behavior at the scene.
