"Israel & its '5th Column' all over the world are engaged in "perception management" designed to bring the US into war with Iran!"

I have made a number of arguments and observations over the years and months that it seems I must repeat:
Israel is not necessarily a "rational actor."  Fear drives them and they may well do something foolish and wildly destructive to all including themselves.
- Using non-nuclear munitions Israel is incapable of inflicting anything like conclusive damage on the Iranian nuclear program, whether or not that program is specifically and purposively intended to produce deliverable nuclear weapons.
- In that knowledge Israel and its 5th Column all over the world are engaged in "perception management" designed to bring the US into war with Iran.  Thus far they have not succeeded in spite of their influence in the US Congress.
- If Israel attacks Iran unilaterally that will constitute a decisive failure of the NPT, not so much on the side of the putative proliferator, but on the side of the Israelis.  If that occurs then non-proliferation will have to be enforced by sheer force of arms.  If not by the US, then, by whom?... ...
- Americans!  Don't let anyone drag us into war.  If you are going to wage war, do it for your own good reasons."
