Yet that makes it obvious to the Israelis. Given some of their biggest problems are internal, as your essay points out, this might be a useful pretext to attack Hezbollah, but it won't bring the more secular people together nearly as much as an attack on Jews. If it's not organic, it's more political theater.

The US is freaking, because all their assets across the region are also exposed, if they jump in on Israel's side. The war seems to have already started against the bases in Syria and right now, the Roosevelt is cruising the Persian Gulf, so not a good place to be, if it starts to involve Iran directly.

Then that Ukraine not only drained a lot of resources, but exposed strategies, going to war in the Middle East will mean just dropping Ukraine, which seriously leaves Europe in a pickle.

The Israelis are not thinking strategically. They are basically having a temper tantrum. They want their big lollipop and no one can tell them no.

The sky cracking open, the stairway to heaven descending and the messiah marching down seems to be the main plan. Plan B seems the Samson option.

Yet all they get is Netanyahu flying back.
