A memory from 67

עיתון בין אויבים

A newspaper among enemies

The Iranian Foreign Ministry recently imposed sanctions on dozens of American companies and personalities, for example Donald Trump or ITT and Raytheon. It is possible that the Iranians know what we still do not know, that the axis of which they are a part, which includes China and Russia, is about to take a big step forward, one that will compare its strength with the strength of the Western axis; It is more possible that Iran is simply reaching its point of insanity, at the moment when foreign policy becomes delusional; A moment in which a country loses contact with (political) reality. It happened to many countries in the world, which once prospered, then came an era of madness that turned them into ruins; Without having felt anything strange before. Despite the millions of words and speeches and other extraordinary words of wisdom written in their newspapers and said on their platforms, of course. Sometimes people and countries simply do not notice what is happening in front of their eyes, this is a known phenomenon from the medical literature. There are indeed beautiful examples of this from the present, for example Iraq in 1990, Germany in 1939, France in 1918, but we are personally touched by an example from the past, or to be precise from 67 AD; Although on second thought, the Israeli memory that is more appropriate to mention here is 733 BC, when the megalomania struck Israel. Even for great America, the madness flashed in the blink of an eye not long ago, until the American public came to its senses and sent Trump into a cooling-off period.
The possibility that he and his unbalanced political behavior will return to the White House puts the entire world in danger. After he withdrew from the agreement with Iran, apparently in a biblical tribute to Netanyahu, Trump intended to attack Iran, according to the New Yorker. The American Chief of Staff saved his country and us from the possibility that the limits of America's power will become clear in the world and challenge China, Russia, Korea, and Iran towards the West; This intervention of the American officer probably also saved Benjamin Netanyahu from an immediate state commission of inquiry to investigate his failed policy in Iran in the last three decades; An unbalanced policy which has led Israel to the brink of a nuclear balance, with a crazy regime whose imposition of sanctions on America is the amusing part of its insanity. But the state commission of inquiry in Israel has only been postponed, and it will probably arrive, because the unbalanced policy that Netanyahu conceived and maintained for almost three decades is still valid and exclusive even in the current government, and brings us to the same place, to an event with a plot inspired by the Old Testament. The question in this context is only whether the insanity that happened to Iran, the symptom of which is provocation in a culture that has placed commercial companies with the economic power of countries like Iran, will cause the Middle East to explode or whether at the right moment the meeting in Vienna will end in an agreement.
