My only question is, is are we attacking Iran because they are attacking Israel, or are we attacking Iran because they are threatening to sell oil for Euros? Because we give Arabs money in Palestine to attack Jews, I suspect the Euro connection has far more weight than the blood of Jewish children.
You are right -- we lever influence in Arabia and Europe both by supporting the ones who lust for Jewish pain. Lust is a potent force and a perennial market force. In Europe and Arabia for some G-d-awful reason there is most definitely a lust for Jewish blood and pain. Not in everyone, thank G-d, but in more than enough of the Powerful of the Nations.
Better we take the damn oil fields by force, imo. And then broker using a different pivot for the lever of trade. Today the lever is the Jews, the Jews in Israel.
