It might be that Israel's ultimate war goal in Iran was regime change because as long as the current regime was in power Israel's security would always be threatened and at risk either by direct confrontation such as at present or through Iran's regional proxies, kinda like a head of the snake needs to be chopped off thing.

Donald Trump was proof God was on Israel's side, because if God was on the side of Israel's enemies, Kamala Harris would have won the election and it would be she who was the president of the United States, wearing a kaffiyeh around her neck in solidarity with the enemies of Israel.

Corruption In High Places

Religious beliefs do not make people good and incapable of being corrupted by material wealth. It is the goodness of one's heart. It is one's morals and principles, one's character, that makes someone good and incapable of being corrupted by material wealth. 

Religious or not, people will still lie, cheat, slander and kill. Religion has no say in what one does or does not do. There is no religion that forbids wrongdoing, and even if there was such a religion, people will still engage in wrongdoing given the right reasons or circumstances, or if forced to. 

After all, every religion has its own failsafe, it's own laundry chamber where one's sins, intentionally committed or otherwise, can be washed away like soiled linen can be washed and made like new. 

Catholics have a confessional booth, Muslims have the black stone. 

Isn't God great in this respect?

The Five Steps Of Martyrdom

The first step towards martyrdom is to place one foot in the grave. The second step is to place the other foot in the grave. The third step is to lie down, close the eyes, stop breathing and die. The fourth step is to open the eyes in paradise. The fifth step is to enjoy the rewards of martyrdom in paradise. Sometimes a little outside help is needed in completing the third step, help that is not always appreciated by those who come to pay their respects at the martyr's grave, especially when too much outside help is given without consent.

Was Christianity The Key To Peace In The Middle East?

 I'm beginning to realize what it was that's central to Jewish-Arab animosity since the beginning of the first millennium onwards. 

Religion. 

The Jews have Judaism, non-negotiable, the Arabs have Islam, non-negotiable, and never shall the twain meet. 

Arab Christians and Israeli Christians, however, are bonded in love for each other just as Jesus commanded them, to 'love one another as I have loved you'.

Christianity, therefore, may be the key to peaceful co-existence between both Arabs and Jews, or Israelis, in the Middle East, not Judaism or Islam, both proven to be religions not of peace or love or tolerance but of violence, hatred and holy war in the case of one and vengeance and retribution in the case of the other.

Double-standard politics or political viewpoints are like a man with blurred vision reading the news.

When the news concerns what appears to be an illegal act committed by a non-Jewish nation, the man reads it without his reading glasses. Everything's blurred but he doesn't care. Let them do what they want. Who cares?

However, when the news singles out a Jewish nation as being the perpetrator of what appears to be an illegal act deemed to be in the interests of national security on the Jewish nation's part, that's when he puts on his reading glasses.

That's his purpose in life, what he was created for. Wish him well. Even the dead generate income for funeral home businesses and related industries. What more the living.

The war in Gaza is fought on two levels. Level One is fought on the ground in Gaza. Level Two is fought online in cyberspace. 

Psychoanalysts and sociological experts have hypothesized that the online war in cyberspace has come to symbolize or has come about as a result of a war that cannot be won on the ground.
