The U.S. is vowing to defend the state of Israel from all security threats “from Iran and its proxies.” But what’s it’s really doing is committing to help Israel attack other countries.
As assiduously as Israel seeks war with Iran is precisely the extent to which it will seek to draw the U.S. into it. That is what made Congress’ insanely intemperate recent reception of Netanyahu so dangerous.
Critics of the killing in Tehran of Ismail Haniyeh, a key figure in the cease-fire negotiations, say it heightens the chances of all-out war between Israel and Iran.
