G7 thanks Israel for attack on Iran

If you followed the G7 shindig, you know the worthies from the seven richest countries in the “Western World” found it really really tough to find anything they can agree on. But they finally did manage to agree on something. Israel has a right to defend itself! Who knew? Israel has a right to defend itself even when it hasn’t been attacked. In this case, it seems to be defending itself from the peace agreement Trump was working on with the Iranians when Israel attacked. An existential threat is an existential threat, of course, so whether it’s a twelve year old kid in Gaza or a potential peace treaty, these threats must be dealt with ruthlessly. And that’s why Israel attacked Iran in the midst of peace negotiations that Trump had expressed confidence in merely a day earlier. Nothing threatens Netanyahu’s political career like the prospect of peace. That’s a fact that explains pretty much every war Israel’s had in the last thirty years or more. Every time there are clouds over Bibi’s career, he gins up “threats” that can be resolved by “delivering a sharp slap to the terrorists,” also known as murdering a few dozen/hundred/ thousand Palestinians. He seems to have miscalculated this time around… or maybe the genocide and the black eye to Israel’s rep were all part of the plan. Who knows the secrets of the Greatest Leader Since Moses? But until just a few days ago, the Gaza genocide was seriously starting to disturb some traditional Israel allies. Like the EU. There was a ripple of optimism that went through the anti-genocide camp in late May, when the EU declared it would reassess the EU-Israel Association Agreement on account of Israel’s war crimes. Fast forward not quite a month to the G7. The EU took the opportunity to announce that it would suspend the reassessment due to Israel’s attack on Iran. Get it? We will forgive Israel its sins of war crimes and genocide in gratitude for its attack on Iran! German Chancellor Merz no doubt spoke for the combined NATO/EU when he thanked Israel for doing “our dirty work.” That was the long and short of Carney’s first big international stage. Israel has the right to defend itself. Mark, we’ve heard that before. But the rest of the neighbourhood also has a right to defend itself against Israel. And please don’t make it about “morals,” “values,” or “human rights.” Instead, explain to us how Israel has killed 25X more children in Gaza than Putin has in Ukraine, in a war that has been half as long. Those Palestinian kids just have a penchant for jumping in front of the bullet when an IDF sniper is trying to squeeze off a warning shot! A few months ago Trump’s Director of Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, reported (as the Director of Intelligence has every year since 2003) there is no evidence for an Iranian nuclear weapons program. Tulsi oversees 18 different intelligence agencies that cost the US taxpayer a combined $100 billion+ per year. If Trump can throw her advice out the window just like that, I’ve got a suggestion how Doge can save 100 billion every year going forward. Bibi is on the cusp of realizing his life-long dream - having America fight Iran on behalf of Israel.
