One of the more malign features of a malign administration was the attempt by the Obama regime to cozy up to Iran, purportedly to prevent them from acquiring nuclear weapons.  Anyone with the slightest knowledge of the mullah regime knew this was madness, but this was never the real point of the policy.  The real point was that Obama shared the Leftist distaste for Israel and viewed the Iranians as downtrodden people of color.  This probably gives Obama too much credit, as many of his policies were simply the result of prejudices and grievances he harbored rather than of thought.  Well, Biden has rarely been guilty of thought, outside of thinking up schemes to get massive bribes to himself, and now he is incapable of much thought, so his Leftist puppeteers revived the Iranian policy of Obama, which Trump had repudiated, in the face of constant evidence of how detested the ruling mullahs are in Iran.  The mullahs, having taken an accurate measure of the idiot Biden administration by getting some six billion in frozen funds for releasing some hostages, decided that now was an opportunity to derail the coming agreements between the Saudis and Israel.  The mullahs view the Saudis as their main regional adversary and Israel as the Little Satan.  How to do this?

Ah, well, guess that bit about Iran is settled. https://t.co/Wi53cVYi0D

Hamas in Gaza has been a handy auxiliary for the mullahs for many years.  The Hamas murderers are rabid dogs, always up for raids on Israel, completely indifferent to the consequences to themselves and to the people of Gaza.  Iran therefore provided them with the money and the planning to launch a sneak attack on Israel’s holiest day with a maximum body count and enough rockets, 5000, to overwhelm Israel’s Iron Dome.

Incredibly the IDF did not catch wind of this plot, probably as a result of distraction due to the ongoing cold civil war between leftist and conservative factions in Israel.  The left in Israel has been losing a demographic battle to the conservatives, mainly religious Jews, and their electoral strength has been waning.  The Israeli Supreme Court, appointed and not elected, has become the mainstay of the left retaining some power in Israel.  The Likud-led coalition has been passing laws to curb the power of the Supreme Court, and the left has been responding with huge rallies, often with members of the IDF declaiming about how this is a threat to Israel.  A military possessed by domestic politics often ignores foreign threats.

Yesterday the Israelis suffered 800 killed, proportionately far greater than we sustained on 9-11.  Hamas has been seizing Israeli women and kids as hostages and making videos of all this.   They want the Israelis to come after them with everything they have, as this serves the interests of their Iranian paymasters.

What happens next? The Israelis will flatten Gaza and do their best to exterminate Hamas.  Hezbollah in Lebanon has already launched a raid into Israel which the Israelis have repelled.  I think that Egypt and Jordan will stay out.  Syria is too weakened from years of civil war to be much of a threat.  I do not discount the possibility of open war between Israel and Iran, with Israel launching punishing raids on Iran.  If the mullahs have deep enough contempt for the Biden puppetocracy, they likely will begin seizing Western and American ships in the Persian Gulf.  The Puppet regime has brought the American people rampant inflation, high interest rates, a coming recession and now, likely a Middle East war.  Stolen elections have consequences.
