Looks like the Israeli Air Force is gonna have to take out Iran’s nuclear weapons plant without any help.In fact,Israel should make damn sure that Plugs and Heels Up don’t learn of their plans...they will surely tip off those bearded psychopaths in the dresses.

Maybe Bibi should congratulate Biden again?

Israel was very pro-Trump. Like everyone else that likesTrump, they must pay for it.

Was Jammah Carter the last “president” to NOT call Israel?

I wonder if Biden is even the one calling any of these people? He’s completely out of it and probably can’t hold a conservation for more than a few minutes.

It matters because the snub shows a lack of respect for Israel as an ally. It matters, as well, because it sends a message to enemies ov Israel that there will be little pushback from the United States if Israel is attacked. This message is not lost on Iran, Syria, Hamas and Hezbollah. War is coming soon to the Middle East and it will be bloody. Israel will do what it must to survive and the United States will know only afterwards. Other US allies will take note and react accordingly.

And some demented mis-elected old man making a phone call will make a difference in all that?

Israel has God on their side.

That’s all they need.

The REAL Big Guy already planned for this. War against Israel is what is in the timetable. Any attacker will get its butt kicked.

“Looks like the Israeli Air Force is gonna have to take out Iran’s nuclear weapons plant without any help”

I have read several analyses on the subject. The Iranian targets are widely dispersed and very well defended. In addition, critical infrastructure would require bunker busting bombs, which would be very difficult to carry that distance. The distances are so great that any raid would require multiple refuelings over potentially hostile territory. If someone shot down the refueling planes Israel would lose a substantial number of planes without Iran firing a shot.

It’s commonly believed that Israel keeps a nuclear armed sub within striking range of Iran. But nuclear weapons would be useless against the deeply buried and therefore most valuable targets.

I think the best bet would be trying to collapse the regime. That may prove difficult as I am sure the US would move in to support it, possibly with pallets of freshly minted cash.
Whatever Israel does, it must be done without alerting US intelligence as I am sure the US would do something to stop them.

The problem is, anything that is done is going to be messy and cost a lot in lives and treasure. That’s why nothing much has been done so far. (Yes, things keep blowing up mysteriously in Iran, but the nuclear program is likely not being stopped by that.)

Interestingly, Trump’s bellicosity kept the peace much better than a wishy washy man probably suffering sundowner’s syndrome. When you lose deterrence, then war starts. Nobody attacks because you are too strong. The US has kept the peace simply by deploying enough force in the area that nobody in their right mind would start something. The spark that starts a middle east war will be the US signaling its weakness. Or, simply signaling that it no longer supports Israel should be enough. BTW, where’s Biden’s Nobel Peace prize for not being Trump?

What does it mean that Biden’s House won’t list Israel as an ally? Does it mean that Netanyahu got along too well with President Trump? Or does it mean that Israel is now an USA enemy?

I agree as well. Israel is one of our best allies. It’s wrong and just plain rude to snub them like that.

And that right there is one of the best parts.

I believe we saw a bit of that with PDJT, impeached twice, second time he was already out of office, soundly acquitted both times.

Don’t you think foreign leaders have to do that though? As in, presume legitimacy and see how things pan out? We had our own prominent go-round with credentialed individuals arriving on our shores and expecting to be accorded full diplomatic respect even as the ruthless bloodbath referred to as the “French Revolution” raged on and on.

Nope. I don't recall a single one of them issuing a statement "congratulating President-Bush on his victory and looking forward to working with him in the future" two days after the 2000 election, while Gore was contesting Florida and refusing to concede.
