Peloni: The most charming aspect of the villains which makeup the radicals in Washington is their inability to not take credit for their outrageous exploits, among which must be counted their attempts to to regime change an allied nation such as Israel. Indeed, within the WSJ report, Kaufman also relates the following near confession by Sullivan regarding potential regime change operations in Israel: “Sullivan even listened to arguments about how the United States might encourage a new government to replace Netanyahu but rejected them because it would amount to regime change.” We will no doubt hear more about the treacherous exploits by the US to bring down a friendly govt in Israel, even as they did everything possible to preserve Hamas in power in Gaza, Hezbollah in power in Lebanon, and the Mullahs in power in Iran. It seems that regime change was selectively reserved as a palatable option for Washington’s closest ally.

Elliot Kaufman published in the Wall Street Journal on December 20 an interview he had just conducted with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. It’s a riveting read. At three key moments since October 7, 2023, Netanyahu was given advice by the Biden administration on the conduct of the war against Hamas, and then on the war against Hezbollah. In all three cases, Netanyahu ignored that advice and went ahead with what turned out to be moves essential to the IDF’s success. More on Netanyahu’s road to victory can be found here: “Benjamin Netanyahu: The Inside Story of Israel’s Victory,” by Elliot Kaufman, Wall Street Journal, December 20, 2024:
