I think just forego the hypocrisy and have the Israeli's move the White House over there and put one of their own in it instead of pulling the strings.

> Pre-emptive violence; not even justified with a narrative of escalating threat.

This is basically Purim. Which is in a few days, what are the odds!

At some point Americans will realize ethnic Jewish groups exist and operate in their own interests in America, and that is at odds with American interests. Or maybe not - top private donor the IDF Larry Ellison (an American, supposedly) looks like he’s expanding his media empire even further with WB. Should go a long way in helping his personal friend Netanyahu’s 8th front.

Small coordinated groups always win out over fragmented larger ones.

Those who know their history also know that the current American administration is of a kind that usually ascends following the rules, but then never voluntarily leaves power.

So I don't think Israel has anything to fear there.

Literally this week, for the first time ever, a majority of Americans polled favored Palestine over Israel.

To be clear, I'm not trying to suggest that's why we're bombing Iran today. Just pointing out a data point supporting your hypothesis.

The US has moved half of its navy in the region, and there are doubts about its support?

And it happened on a Friday night. Best time of the week for the least news impact.

It was Trump or his immediate environmetn who asked Israeli to attack Iran first (better optics); Israel would have never done this without American approval. Did Israel want this to happen though ? Yes. But so did the Americans. I guess the negotiations went badly.

More specifically, seems to be driven by Netanyahu's political accounting. Starting a potential major war going into mid-terms is pretty inconvenient for Trump who could be looking at impeachment over Epstein. But Netanyahu is facing trial and October-7 investigation commissions more imminently and can't wait that long. Netanyahu trumps Trump, evidently.
