Mark Sherry's comments used to annoy me, but after reading so many that are so stupid, I now believe he is just a step away from senility and that is sad.
2. The only real danger/challenge is Israel's own weak resolve!

3. Genius Bibi laying ground (publicly) for the approaching
(10.06.18)
thrashing of Iran by Israel (with USA's support), or the other way around :-)
4. Only when Trump will explicitly tell Bibi, it's OK to wipe
(10.06.18)
his own ass, will our great leader dare to do it!
Never mind take any other, more "daring" action, like defending own citizens along Gaza.
5. Good summary by A. Yadlin. Israel's predicament is complex,
Rafi ,   US   (10.07.18)
and difficult.

The weakest link in any strategic planning is reliance on the US.

Donald Trump is an emotional yo-yo on the best of days... He'll likely be all for Israel attacking Iran - but only if at no cost to the US...

His erratic policy toward NATO shows that he CANNOT be relied upon to provide American strategic support against Iran or Russia.. Israel needs to plan accordingly.
6. Israel's security challenges caused by retreats/concessions
Chaim ,   Israel   (10.11.18)
Israel's security challenge from Lebanon is caused 100% by our mad retreat from our South Lebanon Security Zone. Our security challenge in Gaza is caused 100% by our mad retreat from Gaza. Our security challenge in Judea and Samaria is caused 100% by insanely ceding major parts of our 4,000 year old ancestral heartland to our mortal "Palestinian" foes. The real answer to virtually ALL our security challenges is to reverse our mad retreats and concessions which caused them in the first place.
