Unfortunately to understand the Iran War you have to understand why it cannot stop and to understand that you have to understand how radicalized and violent Israeli society has become.

In the days leading up to Tisha B’Av, and as the anniversary of the 2005 Gaza withdrawal draws near, Israel once again stands at a historic crossroads. We can continue down the path of hesitation and half-measures, or we can finally do what history and security demand: restore Jewish communities in Gaza.

This is not a radical notion. It is the necessary response to the horrors of Oct. 7. Gaza is part of the Land of Israel, and rebuilding Jewish life there is the only way to force Hamas to pay a concrete and lasting price for its crimes.

The reason the global elite and mainstream media keep reporting positively on Iran War ceasefires that clearly don’t exist is because the reality that Israel will not accept peace is too cynical for them to convey honestly (whether they agree with it or not).

From the perspective of Israel they are entitled to ethnic cleansing, genocide and the erasure of communities, which means if the rest of us don’t wake up and take this seriously we are headed for WW3.
