Antoun,

It does seem manufactured, that it was the Druze, yet the Israeli response was fairly uniform and aggressive. Not to mention timed to the end of Netanyahu's visit to the US.

Which suggests it will be acted on.

The irony is the extent to which it is political theater, but with real world consequences. Like NATO using Ukraine.

Israel has become an echo chamber, increasingly detached from the rest of the planet.

Not that the rest of the Western power structure isn't equally delusional.

The month isn't over yet.
