I hate the current Israeli government as much as anyone right now but I have to admit getting the US to distract Iran and get the rest of the Arab states hating on Iran all being a distraction to take over more land from Lebanon and Syria is a well thought out plan. They probably started organizing as soon as Trump won the election because they knew he would do whatever they say.

Those Nuclear facility strikes were probably just a test to see how far Trump and his lackeys would go.

Tbh I get your point but this just dilutes israel as any other state which exist today, israel is different thats why we should critique it differently

What’s different about it?

No it doesn't. But yours dilutes a bit the complicity of most (all, maybe) other states, many of them directly. Without them they couldn't have done all this shit for these many years. They raised a very problematic pit bull, and when it mauls a bunch of babies the might go 'oh! No! That's very bad!' But tell the parent that the baby scared the dog, and the other parent shouldn't have approached so fast, while cuddling it. I also get your point, it very well might be that the dog cannot be rehabilitated. But states aren't really dogs, they're more like parasites to society. They may seem harmless or benign to a host when the conditions are right, but they can get super nasty in other context. But I agree that we should try to expel the parasite from the host whose life is in most danger first, even if at the cost of putting another parasite in its place. But sooner or later they all can become malign, even this much.

Trump is bringing Peace to the Middle East!

Incidentally both Elon Musk and Gavin Newsom both made the same lazy joke about this by inserting “Piece” for “Peace”.
