Peloni: This was an outcome which became evident in the early months of the war, and became even more publicly clear following Netanyahu having to tell Pres. Biden that Israel would fight with their fingernails if needed to win this war. Well, today, Israel is not fighting with fingernails, but the controlled environment of Israel’s defenses which exists in outsourcing its defense industry oversees, even to an ally, still exists. All nations have interests, and to the point that these interests overlap, alliances are formed. Yet, as is evident in Trump’s declaration that Qatar is a great allly, and the UAE’s threat over Israel extending sovereignty to its heartlands within its own borders, a nation’s sovereignty must be understood to be tied to its degree of independence. The shift of support or even toleration of Israel and Jews around the world following October 7, even among former allies and safehavens in the Diaspora, demonstrates the need of an independent Israel, capable of making the choices needed to carryout its raison d’tre of choosing the fate of its own people.

Brilliant and extremely information-packed presentation by Bibi. Although he has his faults the way we all do, and has made some bad mistakes in his political career -so did Churchill– he is still the premier statesman of our era. The Churchill of the first quarter of the twenty-first century.
