It has been this way since time immemorial. Spending a billion a day on a ‘not’ war. Meanwhile, all you suckers can starve, die because you can’t afford healthcare or find new treatments for disease. And who the fuck needs education and arts? We aren’t mad enough!!

Several tables are set with individuals behind them waiting to be served. The tables have signs — Education, Sciences, Arts, Healthcare… no one is serving them. All of the servers are delivering piles of money to the table where WAR is sitting.

Worthwhile analysis about the view of the Iran War from the Israeli perspective (it differs from what the US public usually hears):

Shaiel Ben-Ephraim @academic_la
X.com
I have talked to some Israeli officials and read a good deal of Israeli media.
Here is how the war in Iran is perceived there so far:
1) On a tactical level, they believe it has gone very well and Israel has destroyed more of the Iranian military capability than expected.
2) They are disappointed that the regime has not been weakened as much as expected and that they remain in firm control. In particular the lack of a
"rise up" among the population is a cause of concern.

3) They are finding Trump to be unreliable. While Israel favors a prolonged campaign to ensure total dismantlement of threats, Trump has signaled a desire to end the war "soon," creating a potential rift in war aims.
4) Hezbollah is stronger than expected.
It has hit Israel with drones and missiles and killed soldiers. They have recovered better than expected.
5) The inability of Ben-Gurion airport to withstand closing and chaos has shown fragility in Israeli social cohesion.
6) They are disappointed in the lack of support from Gulf States who want an end to the war rather than the escalation Israel wants.
7) Israel accepts that the regime in Tehran will survive and just hopes that this weakens them in preparation for the next round.

8) There is a growing fear among Israeli strategists that they are winning the war but losing the region. While military targets are being obliterated, the civilian infrastructure damage is causing a backlash.
9) The war is proving very expensive.
The need to divert NIS 28 billion ($9 billion) to the military has forced the government to freeze social projects, leading to the first significant antigovernment protests since the war began, specifically from the middle class bearing the tax burden.
10) They are aware that the war is very unpopular in the US and that Israel is being blamed. They are concerned about the ramifications for the alliance.
While Netanyahu is painting this as a huge success, it really doesn't look like one to Israeli strategic planners. The public knows it as well.

“A war that was meant to prevent Iran from having a bomb could be the war that actually pushed Iran beyond the Rubicon to reach a bomb.” Danny Citrinowicz, analyst at the Atlantic Council and former head of the Iran branch of Israel's military intelligence (www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/w...)

Some experts worry the younger Khamenei could take the step that experts say his father never did, and race to build a nuclear bomb.

"A war that was meant to prevent Iran from having a bomb could be the war that actually pushed Iran beyond the Rubicon to reach a bomb," said Danny Citrinowicz, an analyst at the Atlantic Council, a think tank, and former head of the Iran branch of Israel's military intelligence.

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. -FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

Original 1925 jacket cover of The Great Gatsby

The Great Gatsby
Here is a novel, glamorous, ironical, compassionate a marvellous fusion into unity of the curious incongruities of the life of the period which reveals a hero like no other one who could live at no other time and in no other place. But he will live as a character, we surmise, as long as the memory of any reader lasts.
"There was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life. ..
It was an
extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again?"
It is the story of this Jay Gatsby who came so mysteriously to West Egg, of his sumptuous er-tertainments, and of his love for Daisy Buchanan a story that ranges from pure lyrical beauty to sheer brutal realism, and is infused with a sense of the strangeness of human circumstance in a heedless universe.
It is a magical, living book, blended of irony, romance, and mysticism.

GREAT GATSBY
