The war is between Gaza and Israel. The war is between Lebanon and Israel. Add Iran to the mixture. The security of Israel depends on Israel Defense Forces and no one else.
Israel understands perfectly what the US and other Western countries either cannot or do not wish to accept. The Iranians despise infidels and are mandated by Allah to lie to them and kill them. Like Hamas all that matters to them is the Cause. They do not care what happens to their country or its people. They are zombified worshippers of a death cult. Martyrdom is the pinnacle of life on earth.
The idea that you can negotiate with them or that they will be amenable to economic or military pressure is lunacy. They don’t care if all their oil production and desalination plants are annihilated or if they inflict the same destruction on their Muslim neighbours. If you are not prepared to invade them, take enormous casualties and destroy all vestiges of the current regime, clergy and IRGC and army and Basij, and accept millions of dead civilian human shields as collateral damage then you need to either give up or adopt a containment strategy.
Every few years you have to mow the grass and meanwhile sanction them and their allies, employ hybrid warfare and targeted assasinations, and squeeze the economic life out of them without being squeamish about their collapse and the consequences for the Iranian people or your own citizens. All they have that anyone else wants is oil and drones. Choke these off by any means necessary. Build pipelines to take other countries’ oil bypassing Hormuz. Assist the Asian importers of Iranian oil to find alternative suppliers.
Have we learned nothing from the microcosm of Gaza? Hamas are just the pathetic puny replicas of the psychopathic Iranian theocracy. Israel can’t walk away because it’s next door. The West has the luxury of relentlessly sticking it to Iran from a distance.
Great history lesson! Yet all I hear from mainstream media is how Trump made a huge mistake in threatening Iran and has involved the USA in a battle they cannot win. Of course you can’t win if your constituents keep your hands tied. America has never appeared so weak on the world stage with its on again / off again war.
Another very good article, Yonah. Efrat is obviously a great place to think clearly.
Between U.S. election realities and Trump's reliance on Qatar and his "advisors," Kushner and Witkoff (Qatar puppets), Israel is left, as always, with only one True Ally, HaShem.
There is more here than meets the eye- I didn’t know about how terrible the agreement was‼️👀 I am praying for Israel 🇮🇱 and the 🇺🇸 USA that we will see PEACE, AMEN and AMEN-HALLELUJAH‼️🙏❤️✝️❤️🩹🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱😻
Trump is the best friend Israel has and it’s unknown if a friend to Israel will be elected in 2 years. But, no matter what happens if someone is elected that does bring “peace” between Israel and all other countries, that person is the antichrist. It is written that “they will cry peace, then sudden destruction”.
Well written but let’s be clear here. We are all waiting for the Midterms and therefore are hostage to the US voter. Trump does have a few options at his disposal and the only forecast I will make is that he will not act as a traditional lame duck President and politely leave the stage, whilst anointing a successor.

I thank G-D for your mind. This writing is brilliant.

A reminder, Hitler was arming Germany, this was illegal per Versailles Treaty, European leaders ignored it, turned a blind eye.
