The American public should be speaking out and calling for the U.S. government to at least privately tell the Israeli government not to retaliate over the missile attack they received from Iran last night, circumstances do not warrant a retaliation and the likely consequence of a retaliation is ultimately U.S. soldiers and/or U.S. government personnel in the Middle East are going to be killed at the hands of Iran or Iran's proxies with the justification that the U.S. has become allies in the Israelis war against the Palestinians in the Gaza strip and ultimately world opinion will ultimately believe that the Israeli government needlessly triggered this round of violence and it will chip away at the perception or reputation of the country of Israel as the victim in the Palestinian/Arab/Muslim conflict. Reports are that Israeli is planning a major retaliation over last night's missile and drone attack from Iran and if they do they will be making the same mistake they did in their response to the October 7th attack; Israel should have limited their offensive to destroying the three hundred mile tunnel system in Gaza and used their stature and good will they would have had to get the intelligence services of the U.S., Major European countries and Arab allies to bolster the Palestinian authority and drive our and eliminate Hamas from Gaza for they offer no future for the Palestinian people now you have left Hamas as the only defender of the Palestinian people in Gaza in these Palestinian minds! Part of the problem is that the Israel government lets the media play the situation like a fiddle. The media is now stoking retaliation, they are fanning the flames for retaliation ( Israel was never before hit with 350 missile and drone attacks if Israel doesn't retaliate bad countries will think they can get away with such an attack against Israel) then after they get the ratings boost of the violence of retaliation then they will focus on the fairness of the situation then they will look at the merits of the situation and ask what was the good and right thing to do, after it is too late! This is what is a good and fair perspective in this situation calls for! There was no significant damage to infrastructure or loss of human life in last night's attack thank God, Israel's allies and the IDF; this lack of major harm is critical in the analysis of what Israel needs to do, remember this was not an unprovoked attack against Israel, this attack was a response to Israel's bombing of Iran's embassy in Syria which killed seven Iranians including two senior commanders where one Mohammad Zahedi was a highly reputable Quds Force Commander. This attack which significantly hurt Iran should have been expected and in all fairness should have been presumed to bring a major retaliation like what was seen last night for Iran cannot lose its street credibility amongst those fighting on behalf of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. If Israel retaliates now in a major way Iran will then have to retaliate in a major way which will almost certainly include an air strike against Israel and because Israel is a close ally of America, America will have to help provide air defense protection for Israel which will result in America shooting down Iran's air weapons in the next retaliation and so Iran from their legitimate perspective can conclude America involved themselves in Iran's fight against Israel and now they are fair game to attack and they will be attacked so Iran can save face meaning Americans will die and be seriously wounded and this will cycle into a back and forth attack against Iran and because Iran has high credibility amongst radical Islamic terrorists they will side with Iran against America so America will likely be a target of Islamic terrorism from these groups meaning Americans will be killed and wounded in this front. When all the dust has settled the media will shine a spotlight on the fact that Israel didn't need to retaliate over the April 13th attack not much harm resulted and it was a provoked attack provoked by the embassy bombing in Syria and it will further lead to the conclusion that Israel isn't doing its part isn't acting like a good country in this Israel vs. the Palestinian/Arab/Muslim conflict. This reputation damage to Israel if it continues its trajectory will eventually have a serious impact on Israel and Israelis, they will be ostracized economically and from a movement or travel standpoint they will be the bad guys in the conflict! All this Hezbollah, Iran, Yemen violence is all stemming from Israel's military campaign in Gaza these actors want the campaign ended so Israel needs to expedite their job here let all the Palestinian families that lived in northern Gaza return to northern Gaza and provide a good evacuation plan for the balance of civilians in Rafah who are willing to evacuate and then conduct their offensive in Rafah against Hamas expeditiously and completely then stop the military campaign in Gaza they don't have to leave immediately but they need to stop the bombings that kill significant numbers of Palestinian in a single strike so the world can see an end to the humanitarian crisis against Palestinian in Gaza and so Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen and the Iranians won't be forced to actively fight Israel to defend Palestinian civilians!
