Bibi’s Aim

President Biden told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the United States will not participate in a strike against Iran. But I wouldn’t stop there. The USA needs to make sure the Israeli Defense Force doesn’t use American-made weapons in its upcoming strike against Iran. I don’t have any confidence that we’ll prevent Israel from using American rockets to hit Iran since we’re not stopping them from using American rockets to hit civilians in Gaza. Let’s back up.

Israel has been striking civilians in Gaza. They blame Hamas, the terrorist group that attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, for hiding among civilians. But Hamas wasn’t hiding in a convoy of trucks delivering humanitarian aid.

President Biden has told Bibi to take it easy on bombing civilians and finishing the call with, “By the way, I’m sending more missiles.”

And as if Israel wasn’t busy enough bombing babies in Gaza, it also hit an Iranian consulate in Syria, killing generals, support staff, and civilians.

Hitting an embassy or a consulate is a diplomatic no-no. It’s a violation of the Geneva Convention. It is considered an attack on the same level as dropping bombs inside the nation of the embassy. When al-Qaida struck two American embassies in Africa in the late 90s, we considered that an attack on the United States because it was. Israel’s attack on a consulate is why for the very first time, Iran attacked inside the nation of Israel.

Israel did not mistakenly hit the Iranian consulate.

Now, Israel is planning a retaliatory strike inside Iran for Iran’s retaliatory strike for Israel’s first strike. Iran says along with Israel, it will blame the United States for Netanyahu’s actions.

Bibi needs to keep in mind that one reason Israel was so successful against Iran’s strike is due to the cooperation and support from the United States, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia, who all shot down Iranian drones and missiles. Does Bibi expect these three nations to run to his defense again after striking Iran…again?

Netanyahu doesn’t just want to start a war with Iran, he wants to embroil the entire region in a war and drag the United States into it.

I support Israelis but I don’t want to support that state in starting wars. Clean up your own mess.
