?Courage is a special kind of knowledge: the knowledge of how to fear what ought to be feared and how not to fear what ought not to be feared? - David Ben Gurion
Mr. Ben Gurion might be appalled at the current level of craven paranoia dominating Israel right now.
A nation overwhelmed with hysteria about Iran.
A nation so cowed in fear it cannot make rational and intelligent decisions about real problems.
A nation lacking the courage to face the real world because it is terrified by a threat that exists only in it`s mind.
The Israeli right has fought and lost two `proxie` wars with Iran that actually had little to do with Iran.
Iran keeps Israel off balance and bleeding without endangering a single Iranian live, and with a tiny fraction of the expense Israel expends in it`s proxy wars.
