Silly Me

It took eight hours from last week's Bulletin (where I speculated against an attack on Iran and adding another front) until - in the span of three minutes - Israel took out most of Iran's leadership, nuclear program chiefs and serious pieces of their arsenal.

In the week since, despite a continuous barrage of ballistic missiles, Israel has been working its target list with little to no interruption. It is interesting that the same countries that were very critical of the war in Gaza (3,000 terrorists invaded from next door killing, burning, raping and kidnapping) are not against this move in Iran. German Chancellor Merz, for example, has been supportive. Why is that? It's simple. Iran is a threat to mankind - to Israel and America first but everyone else immediately after. The Germans, French, Brits and . . . well, everyone . . . know it. And that includes essentially every Arab nation. New celebratory dances in Saudi Arabia are breaking with every nuclear facility Israel erases.

And so, on behalf of Israel, let me say, "You're welcome, world."

After holding back a half dozen times over the past twenty years, a very weak Netanyahu had nothing to lose. His legacy as Mr. Security was tarnished by October 7th. While concern for the toll it takes on the lives of Israelis always comes second to his ego, thanks to a brilliant intelligence community (remember the beepers) and an extraordinary air force he went all in. The world is already a safer place today than it was one Bulletin ago.

My father celebrated his 91st birthday yesterday and in the first hour had to take shelter twice. A window in the house where I grew up blew in from a missile blast on Tuesday. Soroka Medical Center and the Weitzman Institute were seriously damaged by ballistic missiles. Lives have been lost, many are injured and the attacks continue. Let's hope no more lives will be taken before Iran surrenders. There is one significant nuclear facility (Fordow) that needs attention (perhaps 47 jumps in there and takes the glory, have at it please) and maybe even a weakened maniacal regime falls after a Saddam-like revolution. As we learned last week, it is not always smart to make predictions on Thursday at 3:00 PM. So I wont.
