I am having trouble grasping how Netanyahu and his gang don’t realize that attacking Iran will result in massive destruction in Israel. Do they really believe the scenario that they can prevent Iran from retaliating? Are they really that egotistical and stupid???? Do they not realize that when you attack another country for no reason, it is only a matter of time before that country applies all the resources it has to damage you? And how does a senior rabbi get to where he calls a group of people an enemy who have never taken a single action against Jews in Israel?

I guess Israel is going to be one more example where pride grows and grows until there is a mighty fall.

If Rabbit
Was bigger
And fatter
And stronger,
Or bigger
Than Tigger,
If Tigger was smaller,

Then Tigger’s bad habit
Of bouncing at Rabbit

Would matter
No longer,
If Rabbit
Was taller

Poor Israel, if Iran was smaller, or leaner, etc. all that business would be concluded long time ago. As it is, it matters only little if USA supports Israel in attacking Iran or not. Very few Asian nations support such an attack, and their opposition may bring a major humiliation to USA (or worse) in the aftermath of an attack.

Hezbollah war of 2006 showed that it is very hard to prevent missile fire if missiles are prepositioned in tunnels and bunkers, neither by bombardment nor by ground attack. This means that Iran may close the Strait of Hormuz for cargoes going to countries that do not impose sanctions on Israel for its attack, and pretty modest requirement could be that Israel pays reparations.

If a number of countries, including India, China, Russia, Pakistan etc. will be supportive of such resolution of the conflict, what can USA do?

If only “bring an end to our enemies” could come to mean “an opponent need not be an enemy.” In the present case, public comment seems to say Israel cannot succeed alone. Obama will do nothing before the election. Bibi’s stance almost seems an attempt to place a wild card in that election. Perhaps at home, too.
