Since it is Shabbat I'm going to keep my remarks brief..

1. Preemptive US military attacks without Congression approval violate the US constituion.

2. Preemptive attacks by the USA and the state of Israel violate the UN charter, a treaty that both countries have signed.

3. The Iranian regime has done terrible things, but as always, it will be the civilians of all sides that will be suffering thanks to this idiotic war.

4. The state of Israel's decision to participate in this attack is a terrible, terrible thing, which will result in Jewish people around the world being blamed. The folly of doing this during the Jewish holiday of purim, and the Islamic holiday of Ramadan compounds this terror. Contrary to what many mainstream Jewish institutions have told us, the state of Israel is not making life safer or better for Jews in diaspora, but rather it is empowering anti-semites to behave worse and get away with it.

This meme is circulating on social media today. I haven't been able to track its origin or creator, so can't give credit — but I think it's very apt.

Imagine if US voters had picked Kamala Harris. She would have continued the Ukraine weapons support, she would have kept the strong alliances with Europe, and she would never have killed the Iran nuclear deal.

Together we could have forced Putin out of Ukraine, there would have been no new, wider war in The Middle East, and the NATO alliance would have been stronger than ever. And in that situation, I think our economies would have been considerably stronger too.

Populism derailed all that.
