I am starting a splinter group because I found the rules of "Israel and Palestine Politics Discussion" to be somewhat restrictive.

Would Iran being attacked be beneficial for Hamas? They would finally get direct support from Iran, wouldn't they? And Israel might finally meet a worthy opponent. And who knows which other countries would join in the war against Israel. It didn't go well 70 years ago, but maybe it might go better now.
I doubt it. Israel is just begging for someone to retaliate, because similar to with gaza, they will use "self defense" as a pretext to escalate the conflict. And with western nations contiuing to cooperate, they will most likely get away with it again.
Will Western Nations cooperate? If this dude starts a great Middle Eastern war on his own and pisses off even Trump, I doubt the EU is going to send over a bunch of weapons when the war in Ukraine is straining the budget. Starting a war with Iran might just be the end of Israel as we know it. I would appreciate an end to nearly 80 years of conflict by the erection of the Zionist state.
