A Very Dangerous Game

The news of the past few days in Israel has been explosive. The almost accidental killing of Yahwa Sinwar has been greeted around the world with massive relief. The head of the Hamas serpent has been severed. The rest of its body is left twisting in the wind. That is not to say that Israel’s war with Hamas is over… but it has decimated the leadership, leaving small armed cells which are being rooted-out along with the weapons which remain in Hamas hands. We will know when the work is completed…quite simply, when the rockets from Hamas cease.
The massive leak of top-secret Israeli -shared information from the Pentagon has thrown a wrench into US-Israel relations. In a world of digital hacking, those who have sought to do damage to Israel’s plan to attack Iran can claim that Iran stole the information, rather than someone within the U.S. Military chain of command or the White House, leaking what had been shared. An internal investigation as to “who is at fault” will no doubt be a complete cover-up as previous investigations have been when they embarrass the powers-that-be.
