It is clear that Israel is trying to start a war with Iran and Hezbollah and drag the United States into it.

Israel does have a lot of leverage in the US and the current elections. Netanyahu practically dogwalked Biden into this. The danger is how incredibly WEAK the US government is now to do anything rational or decent. They've paralyzed themselves. Thanks Obama!
