Why did President Donald Trump choose Saturday night to bomb three nuclear sites in Iran, including the formidable one in Fordow? Here’s one possibility: Iran kept insulting him by rejecting his offers or demanding conditions. They were acting like the wily mullahs who ran circles around Obama and Biden. They thought they could still play their old games with Trump, even though Trump was wily enough to know they had no leverage given Israel’s massive assault.

In Alcoholics Anonymous, they say you have to hit your own bottom before you can make any progress. Israel hit its bottom on Oct. 7, 2023. It’s impossible to overstate the monumental security breakdown that allowed a ragtag gang of terrorists to invade the Gaza border and massacre 1200 Israelis. In a region where power rules and a fearsome reputation is a national life insurance policy, Israel never looked so weak and vulnerable.

From its very birth 77 years ago, when five Arab armies brought a welcome wagon hoping to drive their new Jewish neighbors into the sea, Israel has been walking on eggshells, never knowing when one or more of its enemies would strike. It’s not as if those eggshells got in the way of a full-on embracing of life and the creation of a vibrant culture. Rather, the unpredictability of terror created its own cycle of anxiety that never seemed to go away.

I hear it all the time from progressive Jewish critics of Israel: Self-criticism is a great Jewish value. It’s not just our right to criticize Israel, it’s our obligation!No kidding. It’s clear that self-criticism is an important virtue, Jewish or otherwise. How can we hope to grow without it? My problem is that these, loud, proud, self-righteous proponents of criticizing Israel seem to clam up when it comes to criticizing their own party.
