You nailed it Eve.

I disagree in part--the "ceasefire now" crowd was NOT being silent. Rather, they were quite vocal in cheering on Iran.

If that doesn't tell you everything that you need to know about them, I don't know what will.

Thank you for posting Khamenei’s dream dick. Thank you for making me laugh among so much chaos. Brilliant article. Your writings are so important and very accessible to ignorant people like me. Like a Beginner’s Guide to the Middle East. The metaphor of the octopus and its tentacles was brilliant. You are brilliant. And brave. Merci!

Islamic Republic is the one alone? I think you are too optimistic. They still have China, Russia, turkey,

N Korea, Lebanon, Syria, Ireland, Socialists, fake progressives, the Squad, tucker Carlson fan boys, a s load of University professors, Leftist journalists in MSM , 100 million plus + Shia Muslims, those ever important Dearborn Michigan voters, the UN, 80%of Palestinians, and the BBC on the team.

Israel did a great defensive job...the IAF is the 2nd best Air Force in the world. Israel gets 2 days of victim points here, then it back to the same old things. Like Oct 9 was to Oct 7.

“The weekend is behind us and while we await to find out Israel’s plan of action, I have never felt prouder to be a Jew. I pray that now is an opportunity to topple the Islamic Republic of Iran, free the Iranian people, and bring peace to the region.” Yes!!!!!!!

Naftali Bennett's words are spot-on. Let's take strength from them, as we do always by your words, Eve. A new dimension has appeared, an opportunity to face the foe that is Iran directly. Just as Hamas has hidden behind the people of Gaza, so has Iran hidden behind the splinter groups of Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis. With Pesach approaching and Purim not long gone, the Iranian ayatollahs could well be facing a turnabout they cannot foresee due to the hatred embedded in their assumptions.

Iran may be isolated but it's by no means alone Eve.

China, Russia, North Korea, and to a high degree Pakistan as well are able to lend 'aid and comfort' to the mullahs.

(You paying attention there in DC, hmmm??)

What we've witnessed over the last few days is the prelude to Acts II & III before the curtain falls.

I am paying attention. OK bad choice of words. Isolated. Not alone. But when it came down to it, we know which alliance proved effective.

Eve you're seeing this from an entirely different perspective than most of your readers. I commend you for your courage under fire and for bringing us your reportage.

My parenthetical aside was directed at Biden & Blinken (LLC maybe?) in Washington DC who seem convinced that capitulation is a road to peace in the Mideast. It's my fervent belief that that will lead to anything BUT a true and lasting peace.

It wasn't directed at you.

It's not so much capitulation as a desperate attempt to do anything necessary to tamp this situation down and appease the Hamassholes until after the election. Biden is taking a page from Obama, "After election, I'll have more flexibility." Hopefully, after the election, Bidens family will have more flexibility to put him into an assisted living facility.

Once again Eve hits the nail squarely on the head and cuts through the bullshit and fog.
