So I woke up to there being a hot conflict between Iran and Israel. The Middle East is even more on fire than usual these days.
I think Israel risks getting "bogged down" in that war, in a remote shooting-rockets-at-each-other "forever" kind of way because they lack conventional capability to "just win."
Been wrong before though. This will be... "Interesting" seems like such a wrong word, but what else is there?
If I were the Israeli PM and I didn't take Iran's threats seriously what would I say the day after an Iranian nuke landed on Tel Aviv? Damned if you do damned if you don't. It really is a no win scenario and has been since Israel was created after WWII. More than enough hate to keep the Middle East burning well past the end of my life. :(
Hm. Indeed.
I was originally intending to write a longer post, but quickly discovered that there just isn't too much to say. I see what Israel is doing and why. I also see that Iran do what Iran do given the circumstances.
It was bound to happen eventually...
Unfortunately I think this was inevitable. One thing it reveals is how far Israeli intelligence has insinuated itself into Iran. They knew exactly where some very high up people would be.

I read , a while back, that Iran has a large Jewish population. Seems bad apples are to be found in the most unlikely of places.
Mebbe them Iranian Jews should just overthrow the regime and take over...
Heh! That would be a thing!
In defense of Jews, i remind the reader that Jews have been important contributors to science, arts, and production, over a long period of time.
I have been hornswoggled by more Christians than I have been abused by Jews. I have no patience with the deep rooted Hasidics however. They are just too much over the top with their religion.
For the record, I am definitely not Jewish nor are any of my relatives or close friends.
