We already learned what happens when the international community waits too long to prevent an absurdly hostile regime from getting nuclear weapons. Just ask North Korea.
Absolutely. But the watermelon brigade is so ignorant, marching on slogans and mouthing them all the time, that they cannot think in any such terms because it requires thought, historical knowledge, an understanding how society works outside the victim mantra. Unfortunately the watermelon brigade now extends to the Democratic Party in the US and the leadership of western Europe and the Anglosphere countries, notably including my own Canada. Israel is light years ahead of Canada in sophistication, moral reckoning, and human understanding. And so it seems is President Trump who should think again about wishing to annex Canada. It would only eb an albatross around his neck.
Joshua, your commentary is right on except there is one additional issue in the calculus. We here in the US are led by dementia and sycophantic ignorance. 75 million Americans would jump off a bridge if Trump told them to.
This is the one vital thing he somehow got right. Like Ukraine though, if he wakes up tomorrow with another of his ideas, then the Middle East will be past tense.
So we have neo progressives who are against this military action because they hate Trump and were closet antisemites (now openly), an increasing number of republicans who are finally balking at Trump, and the rest who are indifferent to anything international. This keeps me awake at night more than even the danger to myself and the rest of the Jewish population here in the US and in the rest of the world.
And in response to the first comment: we do not know who killed those children yet Is this like when the Hamas rocket did the same in Gaza with Israel as the fall guy. Trump trashed a deal that was worthless. The IAEA was not allowed to inspect; massive development of fissile material was being developed in deep underground facilities, and most importantly Iran has been the main source of terror throughout the region. And don’t forget what Iran has declared against Jews, Israel and western civilization.
To do nothing is like what the US tried to coerce with Golda Meir before the 1967 war: this may have led to the end of the great experiment called the State of Israel.
I think you're elevating Trump and his supporters to heights that seem exaggerated and oversimplified, so it's hard for me to comment seriously on this comment.
Iran had a deal not to create nukes. Trump trashed the deal. Even so, there was no immanent threat of Iran developing those weapons and even if there were, how would killing innocent girls fix things? I admit I didn’t read your article but if what I’m saying is not relevant, then you shouldn’t have picked that headline.

I think you misunderstood my response Joshua. I was merely saying Trump cannot be trusted from day to day.
Iran had a deal not to create nukes. Trump trashed the deal. Even so, there was no immanent threat of Iran developing those weapons and even if there were, how would killing innocent girls fix things?

Rule number one: Don't comment on an essay unless you've read it.
