I understand that the Israelis are always ready to play the Holocaust pity trump card, I just don’t think this fractured leadership in these chaotic times could have prefabricated that as a viable strategy…
This is full fledged panic..

“They will take whatever approach they can convince the other side.”
I can see that being the case.
They have used narrative creation very effectively.

An extension of the eternal victim narrative?

The credit rating downgrading is interesting, but, I can’t shake the feeling that this attack is serving as a distraction of sorts.. ??

I see Ben Gvir is being sanctioned by the US

From what I have gathered, the Israeli people are shrewd. They will take whatever approach they can convince the other side. When they have the world behind them they will act bombastic. When they don’t have enough support they will act as if their existence can disappear any moment.

They will jump onto opportunities which others may say that it is a bridge to far. Remember this is prosecuted people which survived trough many many events. They will pull out every trick and I mean every trick in the book to get what they need.

Sorry, but this looks more like an narrative they are constructing. In order to give rise to the urgency that Israel really really needs the west.

From comments section in “Times of Israel” story posted above:
” The (Israeli) attack looks very very weak. 3 drones. Most likely fired from inside Iran, by local anti-Iranian regime groups, as they try to sabotage the regime.
Now, compare that with Iran attacking and admitting to it. They scared the world that night. ”

Pretty much what I envisioned two days ago. Not only is the Israeli credit rating being downgraded but their military limitations are bring exposed. I can hear Ben Gvir from here yelling, “Quick change the press narrative.”
