Re: Israeli Faces From Earlier Today :-)

Exactly what I predicted two nights back. Israeli government doesn't know what to do. Hehe :)
The actual destruction suffered is more or less handled by media lies, and everybody (other than Arabs) supports such lies too, including Iran. But it's the old habits that now have to change, and are bugging them big time.
Some of the Israelis think they may still have a chance to keep up the full deterrence image they had before, even among Iranians. But the solutions they offer are all ridiculous and imperfect. There's been a loss and they need to come to terms with it.
Hard to break old habits. Now they have to think ten times before hitting Iranian targets in Syria and Lebanon cause they'd expect retaliation from Iran directly against them. This will not change no matter how many times they hit Iran and with what they hit Iran and what exactly they hit in Iran. It won't change that reality. They aren't used to that but its the new reality now. Hit and runs are over. They hit, Iran hits THEM, not their terrorists elsewhere all around the region.
And this certainly affect their treatment of Palestinians also because they miscalculated a simple problem. One week _after_ UN voted for cease fire, backed by the USA as well, they attacked the Iranian consulate. That's how they opened the way for Iran to interfere in the Palestinian issues as well, and right there it shows they'd gotten complacent. By that vote, Iran has now international moral backing to defend the Palestinians also, not just her own assets and men. I think to some extent Iran will do that from now on. Before that vote, Iran wouldn't have a legal excuse to do so.
So they're in a dilemma right now, with themselves, really :) Read the news, it's all over. Saturday truly was a "watershed" event.
