    I disagree with the North Korean comparison. Iran has distinguished itself by giving its sundry of proxies the tools they need to cause utter destruction, chaos and terror. I have no doubt they would give one of them a nuke to do their bidding.

    It was a retweet of an April's Fools joke from early this year. It tells you how good the Israelis are with their Intel on Iran that people are legit being fooled.

    I mean North Korea in terms of economic and political isolation. But to that point, the more you chip away at Iran’s economic and political power, the less Iran has to fund proxy forces outside of its borders.

    I’m not making a joke. I mean it. If Iran wants to claim it has shot down two IAF planes and has captured a pilot alive, show us the evidence. Otherwise, I, too, have been busy shooting down enemy planes. In fact, I have personally shot down five Iranian fighters in the last 24 hours, and I have personally captured two Iranian pilots. Neither one was a female, but they both cried for their lives, renounced the Islamic regime, and accepted Catholicism without my even asking. I will assume there are no follow-up questions and everyone will take me at my word.

    Katz says Ayatollah regime ‘crossed red lines’ with barrages at civilian centers, will pay heavy price

    Now this one is a head scratcher. Unless Iran uses chemical or biological weapons in their counterattack, I think Israel just need to absorb their missile attacks in good grace. I mean, what else is Iran supposed to do? They have to hit back after what Israel did. Not responding is not an option. And hitting back with medium-range ballistic missiles that aren’t terribly accurate and can only be aimed at area targets (such as cities) is the only real option available to them. Israel should absolutely defend itself against these attacks both by shooting down the missiles and targeting the launchers, but — seriously, man — they don’t get to whine about being hit back in a half-ass manner after the war they started.

    Ben Gurion airport officially closed for at least the next 24 hours if not longer. El Al flights in the air returning to their places of origin or finding alternate flights. The problem is, many countries are no longer willing to receive El Al flights at the moment.

    I addressed that. That’s all they are capable of targeting. Like the Russians, their weapons are terribly imprecise. If they aimed at something as small as a base, they would probably miss. Aim at a city, and at least they hit something.
