Thank you for your concise summary of the situation.
It’s the best description I’ve yet read.
I hope you publish this.
The Jihadists have made one fatal error in their calculations. They expect to eventually control a new caliphate encompassing most of the Middle east and possibly the Maghreb. Then they will have enough nuclear weapons to smother Israel with not one or two missiles but twenty or thirty and then pour huge armies in to finish off what is left of the Jewish state. If this horrible event would occur the Israelis would have sufficient nuclear and neutron weapons to literally destroy the caliphate. Millions of Jews would die but scores of millions of Arabs would also and their cities would be left smoking irradiated ruins. I wish I thought such an outcome remote but the maniacally destructive history of the Middle East stretching back to antiquity does not make me optimistic.
