Biden ended sanctions on Iran thus allowing them to reap $70-90 Billion from oil exports, funds that unleashed Hamas, Hizbullah, and other proxies to kill thousands of Jews. Biden is the worst offender
Today's attack not only changes attitudes about Iran but it will change the world's perception of Israel.
In 1970, Israel was widely supported as the underdog against the entire Arab world lined up against them. Yasser Arafat encouraged this framing of the conflict, saying "Palestine is only a small drop in the great Arab ocean. Our nation is the Arab nation extending from the Atlantic Sea to the Red Sea and beyond".
In the 1980s Arafat changed strategy, portraying the conflict as Israel versus poor little Palestine. Israel lost the underdog sympathy.
Now, it is clear that Israel is up against the curse of an axis of Islamic countries led by Iran, which has a population 9 times that of Israel. Israel will now regain the underdog sympathy, fighting a dictatorship that is regarded as illegitimate by its people.
Netanyahu is not alone in this change of framing. Naftali Bennett and Micah Goodman have said much the same thing. I don't know if Dana Horn is correct in saying that people love dead Jews. The important lesson may be that people like underdogs, particularly successful underdogs.
Don't forget about Valerie Jarrett in your discussion of the Iranian follies.
She was born there, but what is her folly?
