“It’s time for the strategic blow to Iran” –

«Now is the time to deliver a strategic blow to Iran. I don’t know if another opportunity like this will arise and the advantage risks vanishing in the meantime.” Israeli historian Benny Morris followed the trajectory of Tehran’s attack from the living room of his home in Srigim, just south of the road between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv…. «From the window I could see the missiles go by. I was surprised they weren’t intercepted before they came flying over my head. But I wasn’t really worried. Israel has done well. His defenses worked” and now “he should respond forcefully. Not like in April. But Netanyahu is too hesitant to be a real leader. It’s his nature. He doesn’t have the necessary strength of character. Avoid big decisions. And when it comes to challenges, he usually backs down” he states in an interview with La Stampa.

For the historian, one of the most influential representatives of the post-Zionist current, now «Israel must destroy the structures in Iran, the important ones, the oil structures, the nuclear installations, everything it can reach and destroy. Only in this way would the Iranians be discouraged” and “if Tehran equips itself with nuclear weapons, the entire Middle East will collapse. But the United States and President Biden do not seem inclined to seize the moment. And I’m not sure Israel can do it alone. This is the problem.”

He also claims that on the Lebanese front «the Lebanese government is too weak, Hezbollah is part of it and no Western army dreams of fighting it. How one can imagine a new resolution and how the Lebanese government and the Western powers can enforce it, I don’t know”, “Israel is a country of 10 million people, 8 million of whom are Jews. It is surrounded by 200 million Arabs and many hundreds of millions of Muslims who do not want Israel to exist. And if the Arabs maintain this position and continue to attack Israel, I don’t know how we can actually survive for long.”

What future do you see in Israel? «Not rosy. A country that does not want to make peace with the Palestinians and wants to permanently annex territories with millions of Palestinians who do not want to be ruled by Israel is not a country that will be pleasant to live in. A part of the Arab world is moving in the direction of acceptance and reconciliation with Israel.” What role does the United Nations have? «They are a worthless organization. I am really happy that the Israeli foreign minister declared the secretary general persona non grata. That man made a disgusting statement about the Iranian attack and did not condemn it. I’m glad Israel won’t allow this idiot to enter the country.”
