Beginning to sound like it was scripted…
Israel is not strong as the US.
There are two concurent wars, in the north and in the south.
You cannot start a third front with Iran which is a major force and is 80 times biger than Israel.
Also, Iran nuclear facilities are buried deep in the ground, so, even with the help of the US it will be a challenge to hit all of them.

Oh I get that and agree. Its just that the whole thing was odd from the start. Iran telegraphing day and time of their attack, Israel hitting back in such a limited way that their own officials were saying WTF why bother?

I dunno the whole affair just seems odd

Numbers hasn't stopped Israel from protecting itself in the past. Don't over estimate the abilities of a poorly trained military, no matter the size. But I do agree, a third front would be bad.

Remember, that prior to 1914, 1939 .. Europe also was very different and after 1948 had many displaced people .. Europe due to ethnic conflictions has a full history of wars and slaughter of innocents, and enslavement.

The Cold War and the New Global Order after WWII created the closest thing to some sort of stability, along with the creation of the EU.

Justice .. unfortunately, is missing for many people in this world, and I do not see a good solution in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict .. at this point the USA has to stick with what makes the most sense for the USA, and that is not having a Hamas / Iranian proxy state there
