The defining issue of our time is the US-Israeli war against Iran

I didn't think I'd live to see a worse US President than George W Bush though Biden admittedly ran him close but Trump has proven far far worse and may have fatally injured the American empire - which will be a good thing, in case you wondered.

James Buchanan and James Carter were merely mediocre and both meant well.

Here is the greatest living Israeli Gideon Levy explaining how Israel's occupation of Southern Lebanon created Hezbollah. Netanyahu we know built up and financed Hamas while imprisoning its moderate members. The interview takes 8 minutes.

I just watched Israeli Minister Itamar Ben Gvir call for the assassination of Ahmad Al-Shara (Al-Julani) the new president of Syria.

“The new Syrian president must be killed—he is the head of the snake.
The battle with the new Syria is a fateful one for Israelis, and it is coming.”

Then Erdoğan? 

Former Israeli PM Naftali Bennet, who now says Israel is losing the war, recently said Turkey would be next.

Norman Finkelstein has said the attack on Iran is 'probably the most brazen, flagrant breach ever of the UN charter', pointing out that even Hitler bothered to fabricate an excuse before invading Poland. Washington simply bypassed international law.

Mainstream US journalist Abby Martin about Israeli society:

“Israeli society has gone full fucking fascist. It's like Berlin in the 1930s... They know the kids are starving. They agree with it...”

Mainstream US journalists now criticise Israel. Eventually, slowly America opinion formers will stop supporting Israel. Voters already have.

Canny and well-informed ex-CIA man Larry Johnson was interesting last night here. He calls Israel a 'terror state'. It seems to me that the USA has become a terror state this year if it was not before (and it was).

Iran is waging war superbly and so far with restraint and morality. She is winning the war of minds in the world too. Iranians are hitting Israel but I suspect they pulls their punches for fear of a nuclear response.

I have opposed war since I started this blog. I oppose this war  but I do not want Iran to negotiate now when they are in an overwhelmingly strong position. Iran's stopping fighting last year was a big mistake.

Czar Nicholas I was fond of saying Europe had on its hands a sick man, Turkey. Europe and the rest of the world now has a sick man on its hands, Donald Trump.
