194 Days -Bring Them Home
Unprecedented or Outright Miraculous
Iran's largescale attack was not a surprise. Israel's extraordinary air defense system wasn't either. What I did find surprising was just how good the system was.
We have had Passover miracles before when the sea parted or when hail came down, but this time an impenetrable wall in the sky came to the rescue. At this time when the NBA playoffs just started I was thinking about basketball great Dikembe Mutombo, perhaps the best shot blocker ever, and how he used to signal with his finger, "You're not getting through."
Several countries participated in in Israel's defense on the night. Among them were Jordan where the king's daughter (my kind of princess) is a pilot and joined the battle as well as Saudi Arabia. When you think about the fact that October 7th was in part a reaction by Iran (through its Hamas Proxy) to Israel and Saudi Arabia getting closer, this is perhaps the best retaliation.
When I documented in this Bulletin the objection of "the squad" and a few other anti-Zionists in Congress to the funding of air defense a while back, I did not envision a scenario such as we had this week. But if anything, it makes us realize just how critical that bill (and the one in front of Congress now) is. Iran is no different than Nazi Germany. Their ideology is motivated by other ideas, but they want to annihilate everything that isn't their strict version of Islam. If the world wakes up to that after this week, now that will be a true miracle.
