For those who missed it, Iran launched a missile attack on Israel, it appears to be over for now, but who knows how long?

      Israel has two realistic options

      • de escalate, don’t retaliate and watch them keep going.

      • escalate, retaliate, and give Iran the same two choices.

        The difference being that Israel has been going for escalations much stronger, having attacked Lebanon far more often over the past year than Hezbollah had attacked them and ramping things up with more and more attacks including attacks onto Syria and Iran directly.

        Netanyahu needs the escalation to distract from the failure of achieving any strategic goal in Gaza and to drag the US into a war, so as to not finally draw a line to Israels actions.

          Yup. And yet some how rockets are still happily coming in both directions. Same two choices remain.
