No matter how hard the Israeli government tries to impress upon the axis of resistance that it cannot lose its superiority in deterring its enemies, based on escalating its war machine dominance, it seems that after October 7, Israel has lost that initiative. Israeli escalation dominance is in taters because it could never again out bomb or out terrorize its enemies without a solid and lethal counterattack from the axis of resistance, whose response is causing a psychological meltdown.
What Hezbollah has been able to achieve against Israel, in terms of penetrating Israeli skies and porous defenses, has been almost miraculous. It has provided Iran’s military the confidence that it could defeat Israel, after all.
When was the last time, since 1948, Israel waited on any country in the region to strike it without the possibility of defending itself by striking first? Never before. If Iran chooses to rain thousands of missiles on the Zionist entity, Israel is a sitting duck today. It’s a new era for Israel and for its neighbors who are tired of the terror of Zionism that has festered ever since Benjamin Netanyahu came to power, some 15 years ago.
Israel, before Netanyahu, was a manageable entity able to wage war but also so willing to make peace. Not anymore. The New Israel is just one large killing machine that knows only death and destruction.

A NEW ISRAEL, BUT ALSO A NEW MIDDLE EAST
One of the reasons Netanyahu struck a high-level Hezbollah official in Lebanon, followed by striking Hanieyh in Tehran, is because Israel wants to regain that escalation dominance. But since Iran is able to retaliate, Israel no longer is able to dominate its neighbors the way it used to in the past. We would not say that the two sides — Israel and Iran — are equals in terms of military prowess, but we certainly can say that Iran can cause as much damage to Israel as Israel can to Iran, or Hezbollah.
Even if Israel retaliates, just as it did on April 19, after Iran sent a wave of missiles and drones to avenge the bombing of its embassy in Lebanon, Israeli response will be minor. Why? Because even though Netanyahu is trying to embroil the U.S. in a war against Iran, neither the U.S. nor Iran want that war.
With regard to U.S. commitment to Israel, if enough countries around the world start boycotting U.S. goods and services because of Israel, our capitalist system would drop Israel in a wastebasket faster than you can blink.
NO WAR WITH IRAN
Furthermore, even if Kamala Harris loses, Trump is not about to start a war with Iran to please the war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu. In fact, Trump might surround himself with enough Jew haters to turn the tables on Israel if Netanyahu pushes too hard. No one is more unpredictable than Donald Trump.
Hamas attack on Israel on October 7 to free the 3,000 Palestinian prisoners Israel kidnapped illegally has changed the face of the Middle East. Before our eyes, we are watching the dynamics of that change, and the actors involved rise and fall.
What is certain is that Israel will never be the same again. Russia and China backing Iran will solidify its powers in the region to eventually run over little Israel, a country already surrounded by much hate for its terror against Gaza, thanks to Benjamin Netanyahu.
