War is hell, Ellissa, but I wholeheartedly support this one. As Gur has said in several media places, the bigger picture is about the global chess game. Iran is gambling on surrounding Arab countries to join them to decimate Americans and the "Zionist occupiers" of Israel. If it works, democracy as we know it will tumble all over the place. If Iran's arrogance backfires, it means the chess pieces (surrounding Arab countries) were already leaning into democracy and normalizing Israeli relationships enough to not want pure theocracy. It could go either way. This feels quite serious historically.
I wonder if the smug lefties and so-called progressives will ever understand that Israel--the size of New Jersey--is saving democracy as a way of life FOR EVERYONE against nihilistic radical Islamist maniacs while being made to feel they are the assholes and Hamas et al. are the revolutionaries. Moderate Muslims seem to grasp this better than the keffiyeh-appropriating bunch.
Re- the social media "experts" (I mean, idiots), I now want Zionist hyena t-shirts.
When in doubt, blame the Jews. It's always been successful. And, if North American Jews aren't worried about where this might lead, they're not paying attention.
I posted Haviv's article, which certainly sounds convincing to me, and I generally like what he says, have done for years. The pushback I received, however, was from Americans sceptical that Trump or any of his team are capable of even thinking about this 'bigger picture' of the superpower struggle for domination, and I have to say that they have a very good point. Do you know that there are still people in Trump's govt that can actually think that deeply? Would love to have further evidence of this.
