It looks as thought Netanyahu has a much stronger hand. The only thing restraining him from wiping out the Iranian nuclear program is the United States. Since the rest of the world has signed on to this insanity the blowback will severely damage Israel’s economy. This is assuming Obama doesn’t actually shoot down Israeli planes and drones. (I think he will.) If this happens then Netanyahu is faced with either striking a US carrier group or going nuclear against Iran. He is, apparently, keeping up to three subs off Iranian shores. Most likely they are there to launch a nuclear strike.
This is a case where Netanyahu may win the war and then get knocked out of office by what happens to Israel’s economy afterwards. Any Israeli leader is hamstrung by their bizarre political structure. He can be ejected from office in a week. The Israeli Left is as loony as our Left. They do not think Iran is a problem either.
