    The shitty bloody truth is, that Israel does not. They have a fairly independent defence industry and it is not like any of the Arab countries on the path to Iran can do anything about the Israeli air force flying through their air space. So Israel can keep bombing. The pieces of leverage Trump has are US aid to Israel and stuff like sanctions. However Israel can probably survive even that, given they have a fairly independent defence industry and the economy is a dumpster fire anyway. If they are mad enough Israel can survive this.

    Sorry, but that is the bloody truth. Israel is an Apartheid country and it took a lot to bring down the South African original. Even that was to a large degree the whites just giving up and Israel is no where close to that.
