ICC-indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu did this to the Houthis. This abominable miscreant flew into the US again to befoul our country and convinced Dummkopf Trumpf to attack an Iranian proxy.
Netanyahu wants American casualties in any retaliatory counterattack by the Iranians, Houthis, or Lebanese Hezbollah (LH), to gin up more Islamophobia in the US and a rationale to destroy Iran.
There will be an imminent election in Israel, so a war in 2026 will also keep Bibi's legal problems at bay (which are too many to cite here).
When the ayatollahs took power Iran in 1979, they welcomed relations with all countries in the world except for two: Suid-Afrika and Israel, because of their similar apartheid policies towards the "kaffirs" and the "hijab wearers."
Iran's great sin is being a country that stands up for Palestinians in Israel (since 1979 when the despotic Shah fell) and Shia Muslims in southern Lebanon (Israel's 1982 invasion led to the eclipse of "Amal" and the birth of Lebanese Hezbollah).
The American people's support for Israel has been the lowest in decades because of the Likud pogrom against the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. There are too many polls to cite here.
American candidates that back Israel will find themselves in a losing proposition in future US elections. This will affect the evangelical white GOP less, but the Democratic Party more, as antiwar progressives won't vote for a candidate that supports war, Islamophobia, or ethnic cleansing. See election results of 1968 or 2024 for more info.
The sooner the Democratic Party frees itself of the Israeli fetter around our collective ankle, the sooner we can retake the House in 2026 and the Senate and White House in 2028 to rid ourselves of the Republican Party for as long as possible.
