I despise Israel, Iran, Hamas, and the entire Middle East. All of these people are grifters whose interests have absolutely zero connection to the good of the American people.
I sometimes wish the Iranians and Israelis really would wipe each other off the map so I no longer need to hear about their collective stupidity. They will never do so, however. It is too profitable to keep the circus going
If Israel really thought Hamas was an existential threat to their existence, they would simply exterminate the Palestinians, world opinion be damned.
Same with Iran. If Iran getting a nuclear weapon meant the end of the Jewish people then the Israelis would have already incinerated Tehran.
The Israelis do not believe this, however. Deep down, they know the truth. Iran getting a nuclear weapon would mean... absolutely nothing. It would freeze the geopolitical situation and put an end to the reciprocal missile strikes, assassinations, and sniping.
Israel and Iran, locked in a framework of mutually assured destruction, would act the way the Indians and Pakistanis do--hosting gay dance offs in lieu of fighting and the (now much rarer) completely meaningless aircraft shoot down.
But there is no money in this model! How can Israel fleece the American taxpayer out of tens of billions of dollars in military aid against the "existential threat of Islamic terrorism" if there is peace?
In order to rip off evangelical Boomers, you need to keep the possibility of "End Times" violence on the table. "Oh no," Cheryl the 79 year-old Boomer says from the deck of her 27th cruise, "Israel is under ATTACK. The Book of Revelation could be FULFILLED unless we call our Senator to give money to God's Chosen People TODAY!!!!!!!"
