It is shocking that although every Western Country has suffered Islamic terrorism and fears Iran getting the nuke —they are not helping destroy the Islamonazis alongside Israel but publicly blaming Israel for “escalation.” Even as they privately are glad Israel is doing the world’s dirty work for the benefit of all. The world promised, “Never Again,” and yet the Jews are fighting an existential threat not only for them, but the Western World. Thank God Israel knew this would be the case and prepared so they CAN fight this world-wide terror alone, and win. The brilliant Douglas Murray predicted all of this years ago (and you can see that speech on youtube) and added that the world will still condemn Israel publicly for preventing a nuclear Iran, but privately say to each other, “Thank God Israel did it.” For being heros, the Jews will only face more antisemitism as a result.

You are right in your assessment. However, Israel doesn’t care any longer what the Euro’s think or say. Or, much of the world, for that matter. Israel will do anything to protect itself. This is its existential moment. It’s right and will to exist.

I agree. And that’s good. I mentioned the antisemitism because it is a growing problem for Jews in general, even though Israel is a hero to the world That’s is infuriating to me.

Actually, we can wait two weeks for the Americans. Meanwhile it is funny to watch the Antisemitism of the appeasers amongst the Europeans as they claim diplomacy will work.. Iran will play them for all the time they can. The job is well underway however. By the end of all of this Iran will have no Nuclear Program, no Uranium and no centrifuges. The Killer Clerics may still be in power, but we hope not. The actual sentiment here in the UK is that Israel is doing a good job because The West is being freed from the Nuclear Threat of Nuclear armed Islamism. Thus, continue, Israel.

I'm hoping Trump comes to his senses and doesn't end up being just a paper tiger, not the real tiger I voted for.

"The Islamic Republic is swimming in oil and gas." Indeed, and that's why Iran is capable to finance world terrorism. May be only the USA has the right weapons to eradicate the nuclear facilities - Israel certainly is capable of finishing off the Iranian oil industry. It's mr. Trump's choice.

America is all about "whats in it for me" you should know that by now Joshua. We learned that during 1979 and 911 in 2001 that America loves the smell of oil, between the maga "red" hatted edomites and the authors of project 2025 ( heritage foundation) who bankrolled "him" I hope and pray that what the IDF needs to finish the job will be offered by the US - I have been reading about the politicians in the GOP against israel and yet Israel is doing the world a favor by eliminating the current regime. We may have to continue it alone.

As of this reading on Saturday, there are reports of one or more B-2 bombers moving across the Pacific. That is good.

I don’t know… are we facing the ultimate TACO moment of this administration? Is the US gonna leave Israel stranded on a desert island in the middle of the desert? Is it up to the Jews to save the world?

Or, will DJT step up and do the right thing? In the face of his MAGA right-woke supporters and the progressive libs who would rather see Iran get nukes than for DJT to get a win.

Headline: The Jews Save the World !!" The ultimate irony. They would still hate us; hate us for that.

I agree with you 100 percent. I’m ashamed that We haven’t joined the fight and stood by your side. But God will never forsake you. He will bring you through this battle too. Know that there are many who love you and call your name before the throne of God’s Grace.

You keep using ‘America’ interchangeably with ‘Trump’ or ‘Taco.’ That is the tragedy. America Now does not measure up to the America of the past. It abandons its allies and consults Putin who offers to mediate this war as he tries to overtake Ukraine.

Two weeks? No. Much longer! Conviction is gone. Stalling is in!

I’m afraid Israel and the free world must go it alone. Trump is selling watches and bitcoins not democratic values!

Joshua thanks for once more bringing full clarity to these matters. Trump ( and trump alone ) now must answer the question posed by Jean Valhean in Les Miserables: WHO ARE WE?

It's so ironic that DJT is one to answer such a question. If he "does the right thing" it will be because he wants the glory. But I don't care why he does it. Just give Israel what they need to finish the job. Then he can claim "we did it" without actually doing it. Perfect for the man-baby.

The question should be posed to and answered by every politician and pundit.

Why the hesitation??? Why not put an end to the terrorist regime, that openly declared his intentions to (God forbid) whip out of the map our beloved Israel?....Why wait ?.....This is a very DANGEROUS situation for the whole world......Am Israel Chai...?

If Israel's plan was dependent on the US becoming actively involved, then it is asking the US to fight in this war. I hope Israel's meticulously detailed and brilliant battle plan that was designed to destroy Iran's nuclear capability did not depend on the very uncertain prospect of US participation as the key to it's success.

Israel can finish the job, with or without the U.S. But having the bunker-busting bombs that only the U.S. possesses would make it easier and faster.

Maybe all this hesitation is part of the overall ruse, just as pretending the US was going to have the sixth talk on Sunday June 15 (which makes no sense since that was the day of the parade). But whatever. Who knows what goes on behind the scenes.

Wow, once again. "Iran will not wake up tomorrow and become Switzerland." When I read this to my husband he said, "But it could wake up as Swiss cheese." Thought I'd share.

Very moving and well done.
