Israel wants the US to fight its war against Iran. There is no conceivable reason why Iran would want to start this now. Not with the entrance into the BRICS and it’s détente with Saudi Arabia. US decline was already in progress and in another 3-5 years it would have reached its final destination without a single shot fired. This, though doesn’t put this in jeopardy, it introduces a black swan that could either slow down (good for the empire) or speed it up (bad).
Israel is aware of this and due to a combination of miscalculation and hope believe that this can help it finally achieve its goal of greater Israel before the end of US power in the region.
I’m also not so sanguine on the US not coming to the rescue of Israel if things go really badly. You don’t take into account the influence of the Israel lobby and influence of Jewish Americans in general in US politics. They perceive the attack on Israel as an attack on Jewish people everywhere (or trying to portray it that way) so they will not let go that easily. The only thing that will put a limit on this is the Pentagon and the self preservation of non-Jewish elites.
Well, in that case, when you write, "To be able to protect Israel against a concentrated attack, which COULD (I’m not convinced, yet) follow after a Gaza invasion, America would need to abandon all/most other areas. Which it won’t," in my opinion, your assessment is wrong. An attack on Israel is an attack on the US and the US will do whatever it takes to defend Israel (and to provide a convenient distraction from political and financial collapse in the US. Whatever it takes.
My understanding (theory) is based on that someone somewhere in the US and Israel knew the attack will happen and let it happen. They might not have known the exact time and date or how brutal it will be but they knew.
If that’s the case, then Israel and/or US wanted it to happen not Iran (for the reasons I mentioned above). They wanted it for the same reason that even though Israel was aware of the attack on the Yom Kippour war, they didn’t do a preemptive strike.
First, ethnically cleanse Gaza. They expected the barbarity of the attack would keep world opinion with them. It didn’t and they miscalculated.
Second, draw Syria and Iran in and have a pretext for that war. They are still focused on Russia. Since both are friends and allies of Russia, this - in their again wrong calculation - stretches Russia.
Third, three of the new entrants to BRICS are directly affected by this - Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Iran (and potentially the UAE to some extent). It doesn’t stop that but a military victory might make them question that decision. Again, wrong calculation.
I’m not married to this theory, and it’s possible that BOTH sides wanted it. However, the argument for only US/Israel with the evidence from the Israeli response on the day of the attack makes it stronger.
Another quick one.

Yes, I think Aleks fails to take into account that Israel, the US and the UK are all controlled by the same group.
No I don't. I wrote that literally exactly that way in the previous article. In Genesis.

I fully believe that all parties involved wanted this conflict to happen very badly.
Every party for its own reasons. Maybe I failed to point that out. I tried to hint to it in the final chapter of this article for example.
I think that’s where we differ.
