Israel's Security is Guaranteed; Very Few Understand that; Especially Those with Unguarded Egos.

If the American move to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capitol and verification of that by moving the embassy to its new quarters is any indication of the new era the world now faces, it would hardly be called a gesture, like the doffing of one's hat. It is earthshaking in a way the worlds is not prepared to endure, let alone contemplate. Wait for it.

As this is being written, due to the pressure Iran in enduring for its confrontational issues regarding the threats of nuclear retaliation towards the US and the insatiable urge to retaliate against its threats to 'wipe Israel off the map', there is the undercurrent anticipation that Iran is more than ready to commence its operations against Israel. The Syrian door through Damascus is broken down and the impatience is palpable. Israel's security is under deep threat and it will not be President Trump's 'narcissism' that triggers the action: it will be the arrogance of the Iranian regime fueled by the many antagonisms of the combined egos of Israel's enemies that will trip the wire of their own destruction.
