Israeli leaders seem to be crazy

Let me get this straight: Israel attacked the Iranian consulate in Damascus, which it technically Iranian soil. Because they have slaughtered so many Persians over the year without serious consequences, they stupidly assumed that killing a bunch of Iranian military officers in a diplomatic building wouldn't be a big deal or generate a serious Iranian response. That was delusional. So bad that even a casual observer like me noticed that Israel had crossed a new line. In retrospect, even Israeli officials are privately admitting (gift) they miscalculated when they attacked Damascus.

So even though Israel was completely wrong about how Iran would react to its operation and even though Iran's attack on Israel was entirely provoked by Israel and was not very different from how any other country would react if a foreign nation violated the sanctity of a diplomatic building and killed several of their military officers, Israel still is considering another strike against Iran? That has to be the most irresponsible reckless decision they can make. And right at a time when support for Israel is waning throughout the world, including in the U.S.
