It's regrettable that not more people see the beauty of the current geopolitical moment, as regards Israel.
After 77 years of doublecrossing and a year and a half of genocide and unsustainable military and media adventurism, Israel has backed itself into a position that guarantees its defeat regardless of what other actors may do.
If they attack Iran, they're effed militarily and economically.
If they don't attack Iran, they're done for diplomatically, reputationally, and politically.
If Trump denies Israel its war, Israel's position in the US will be significantly degraded, causing immediate damage to Israel's ability to function. It will be seen as a sign it's weakening.
If Trump grants Israel its war, it's going to be even worse: the economic and military blow to Americans will remove any inhibitions around Israel's policies and influence on the US.
The normalization dream is dead, and the ethnic cleansing of Gaza and the West Bank won't happen. And even the most well-trained 'friends' are not so quick to pick up the phones. The very mention of 'Israel' makes people painfully uncomfortable.
Israel's population is tired and scared, and its military is cracking under relentless political, psychological, and resistance pressure
And Israelis get hate everywhere they go abroad.

Israel has no good or even normal options left. Wherever it looks, the picture is grim and getting grimmer. The only sense of achievement it can still console itself with is starved and bombed children, and soon this twisted escape, too, will be taken from it.
Eventually, after exhausting all other options, it will have to face itself in the mirror. And that's going to be a big, big shock
