You appear to be surprised. It has been forewarned, predicted and threatened for years (I acknowledge the tautology), the USA knew about it weeks ago (probably longer) and made that publicly obvious this last week.
There is every chance the NZ government either knew about it or expected it. This awful situation became inevitable the day Iran decided to attack Israel years ago by funding and supporting Hamas and other anti-Israel agencies, countries).
Concern now is too late. too little and too pathetic for words.

Israel is out of control. Its ostensible aim, of somehow disabling Iran’s nuclear program purely through remote strikes, is unachievable.

At some point, the heat will crank up too high for Israel to bear. So
Netanyahu is betting the well-being of his entire country on being able to
drag the USA into the conflict.

Trump got elected on a promise of being a “peace” President, who would
keep the US out of conflicts instead of letting it be dragged into them.
Will he keep that promise, or will overriding and unflinching support of
Israel prevail?

Is it “America First” as he (and his supporters keep saying)? Or is it really “Israel First, America Second”, as his actions seem to be indicating?

You are SO stupid.

And you are so gullible.

Do you think maybe Israel is being used as a proxy, to do Trump’s dirty
work for him?
