18. The ugly fact is that Netanyahu is the driving force in Israel.

And I'm guessing that it's easier for the media to say, "US-Israel strikes" than it is to say "US and Netanyahu controlled Israel strikes."

Which is to say, that people don't just automatically blame the Jews as the poster stated. What happens is that leaders find cover by the countries they lead. And, just as "Israel" will be used to describe the aggressor, instead of the longer, more accurate description as I stated above, so will we be marked as the aggressor. i.e., instead of saying, Trump attacked Iran, many foreigners will be saying it's an American strike.

Clear as mud.
