That's a good, concise explanation.

What's amazing is that, in the backdrop of all this, antagonizing Iran is seen as acceptable and a good idea. It'd be like in the US repeatedly tried to invade Europe or a neighbor or something right before the civil war (which they kinda did, I know... but not like that).

Huh? I assume you're referring to the Mexican American War, but I don't understand all the qualifiers you're using.

Mostly wars against indians, and apparently some small ongoing skirmishes involving Mexico: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_the_United_States

Mexican American War is kinda too far ahead? I'm not sure Americans saw a civil war as "imminent" then.

Well written op-ed - but it fails some fact checks. The protests at Sde Teiman were dispersed after they realized the soldiers who had been arrested were no longer at the base. Similarly, the protest at Beit Leid started after it was announced the soldiers had been transferred there.

Opinion articles aren't held to journalistic standards, and it shows.

"As the Gaza war escalates in Lebanon and Tehran, Israel has been thrown into a new domestic crisis: a collapse of the rule of law that threatens to tear Israeli society apart."

promise ? 🫡
