JERUSALEMThe Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel was the greatest security failure of Benjamin Netanyahus career. Less than three years later, the Israeli prime minister is pursuing what may become his defining strategic achievement: toppling the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The campaign, undertaken side by side with the Americans, would transform the regions strategic landscape with Israel as an unrivaled military power. And it would mark a stunning success for Netanyahu, who has long argued that the threat from Tehran isnt only Israels problem but Americas as well.
Central to that success was Netanyahus belief that the most important audience for Israels case against Iran was the American president.
He poured his efforts into an audience of onePresident Trump, said Aviv Bushinsky, a former adviser to Netanyahu.

But the US endless wars are not based on religion? Does that make them better?
So according to you, the problem is not about nuclear weapons, power, or dominance, but the mere fact that Jews and Muslims exist on this planet.

"I want to again thank my friend President Trump for the cooperation between us and between Israel and the United States. Together well achieve our aims, God willing, Netanyahu says, with Top Gun-style rock music playing in the background. For now, most Jewish Israelis give Netanyahu high marks for handling the war. A poll released this week by the Jerusalem-based Israel Democracy Institute found that 74% of Jewish Israelis and 16% of Arab Israelis trust Netanyahu to manage the conflict with Iran."
74%. I'm sincerely shocked and ashamed that the number is that high

Interesting in the sense of republican fuckery of our country for going on 50 years now.
net-and-yahoo is going to have his comeuppance from this war and i expect it will ultimately backfire on him - and be a real burden to the people who live in Israel/Palestine.
