Is Israel-Iran speculation directing reflexive division?

The most tiring aspect of all the yammering about Israel, is the influencers and talking heads, with hundreds of thousands or millions of followers, who declare their opinion based on “inside information.”

Israel shouldn’t be singled out for receiving aid when all the Middle East nations have done the same

The speculation by all these folks that they “know” what Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump are thinking is divisive and misleading.

They may know details that could affect outcomes, but they don’t know what’s actually being counselled behind closed doors. Their vaunted opinions play the role of elevating them as experts, that right or left media use to press their own agenda. Despite all their contacts, what they’re offering is guesswork that consumers might take as gospel. None of those experts’ judgments, or the sources they consult, are inerrant unless they’re sitting at the right hand of the president, and that would assume divulging classified information, which is improbable.

What’s odd, is how pundits laud the ancient civilization of Persia (not incorrectly) but gloss over the ancient legacy of the Hebrews from which the first written language came forth, (no, it wasn’t Sanskrit) and above all, the Holy Bible.

Correlating the folly of the Iraq invasion with Israel’s vigilant defense against surrounding enemies hell-bent on destroying the tiny nation since its establishment, is an unreasonable stretch.

Similarly, comparing the Ukraine quagmire to Israel is disingenuous when it was Biden who gave Putin the green light to invade its neighbor, and feed the corrupt war machine. Remember that he specifically said that he didn’t know when Russia would invade, accepting it as a done deal rather than barring Russia’s intent. Israel has been purchasing armaments from the US for decades, whereas Congress and Biden have flat-out gifted $200 billion to Zelenskyy’s illegitimate leadership. Israel shouldn’t be singled out for receiving aid when all the Middle East nations have done the same.

Hatred for Jews has ratcheted up

Hatred for Jews has ratcheted up, even in the United States, and is now fuellng a visceral response for some to demand we cut-off the only nation that has been a faithful ally. Too many are equating support for Israel with sending troops into the fray. The one does not equal the other, and no sensible person is championing being dragged into another Mideast war.

This is not to advocate for anything except true restraint and full consideration of all the facts before media mouths like MSNBC’s “intelligentsia,” Tucker Carlson, Mark Levin, Alex Jones, and others’ opinions be relied upon to guide official decision making. It’s come to be too natural for personalities to arrive at pretentious conclusions based on limited source knowledge. However much influential voices may insist they have discreet intel – and some have worked with the president in the past, and do speak with knowledgable individuals – unless people within Trump’s close cabinet are leaking information, which isn’t likely, their deductions must be questioned.

What advice can be offered here is that everyone, regardless of following size or none at all, lay aside deeply felt or news influenced emotional responses, and allow the fully conversant, cooler heads of President Trump and his administration to weigh the vetted intelligence to arrive at a strategy.

The bottom line is this – speculation is fine but don’t sell it as fact.
