The Israeli government has miscalculated with its latest war on Iran, particularly Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s dragging Donald Trump and the United States into the war.
U.S. military facilities in several Persian Gulf nations are being damaged and destroyed, with worse perhaps yet to come.
The war has spread to more than 10 nations, many of whom are rethinking their strategic U.S. relationship.
Israel’s goal may be to transform Iran into a failed state. Trump’s demand for Iran’s unconditional surrender shows his ignorance of Iran.
A little country like Israel could not wage large-scale sustained violence in the occupied Palestinian territories and multiple other nations without massive U.S. military and diplomatic aid.
Mr. Netanyahu and his former defense minister are fugitives, having been indicted by the International Criminal Court on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity. The ICC has issued arrest warrants.
The United States needs a new Israel policy, including a declaration of independence from Israel and Zionism, and an end to U.S. weapons sales and gifts to Israel.
As supply constricts, oil, natural gas and gasoline prices are increasing in many nations, as will inflation rates in the United States.
Hopefully, sanity and international law will soon prevail and the United States and Israel will discontinue their unprovoked war before it becomes a world war with catastrophic consequences.
