Bibi's not spouting lies to distract from his legal woes, is he? That's a page out of Donny's playbook.

He's trying to deflect from his corruption.

Every country makes war plans for what if scenarios with likely foes.

Japan certainly has plans for what to be done for all sorts of possible regional actions.

Israel is the same, just with lots more plans since there are many more possible foes in their part of the world and the constant attacks. If you were being attacked weekly, you'd make plans too.

He's always been attacking neighboring countries while whining that they all want to attack Israel.

This is just one last desperate attempt to start a war with Iran.

Hidden within this statement: "We will also take action to thwart Iran's effort to turn Iraq and Yemen into bases for launching rockets and missiles" at Israel, he added.

We can see common cause being established with Saudi Arabia who have been targeted by Iranian missiles fired from from inside both Yemen and Iraq.

Ah, the usual line from the Israeli regime, that a victim of numerous attacks by them is 'aggressively' going to 'attack them'. Of course, this is followed by the unchallenged statements that, in those instances where the victims of Israeli regime attacks dare to fire back, 'Israel is merely defending itself' when it escalates its attacks.

Ask yourself this, are you going to hear any Japanese politician, or media outlet, or 'pundit' say Iran is allowed to defend itself and the folks who are upset about it bombing Israeli military targets (which, given that they are inevitably nestled right up against civilian population concentrations, are going to cause civilian casualties) are racists who are 'singling out the only Persian state in the world'?
