star 0 Politics History

JL;DR SUMMARY Rabbi Arnie Wittenstein explores the complex dynamics of the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict, examining the definitions and implications of operations, battles, and wars in a military context.

  • Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from.
  • But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
  • And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.

"They didn't even hit that that efficiently. You know what I mean? Now, today, Israel, and I read a really fascinating article, oh, I can't remember, I think it was in, I think it was in Times of Israel, but a really fascinating article about how much that changed how Israel looks at war."
Jerusalem, Israel
"I mean, I was never in Carmiel, but, you know, going on my daughter's first-hand report is, when you hear an explosion in the air, and it might be relatively close to you, yeah, you're scared, and that's normal."
Karmiel, Central District, Israel
"My daughter says, yeah, some people like to claim they're not scared. But when the siren goes off and you hear a real explosion, and there's real damage in the city, and there was, I don't know, every time, but a lot of the times, a car destroyed slash knocked so badly that, I don't know, whatever, some damage to buildings, slight injuries."
Safed, Northern District, Israel

"Israel attacking Iran is sort of unexpected. And, you know, last week, one of my kids, I mean, it was my wife, someone asked me, is anything about to happen?"
