Were not dealing with a terrorist Organization Thousands of miles away. Like you did after 9 11. Were dealing with a terrorist organization in our backyard, literally meters away from peoples homes. Youve talked about the comparisons to 9 11. We knew that Osama Bin Laden was the mastermind. Do you know who the mastermind is . Sure. They are two people in gaza. They are the ones responsible specifically for this attack. They are backed, again, by iran. They are backed financially, they are backed with weapons, with training, with logistics, with communication, with political support. Iran is the source of so many of the problems of the middle east. The u. S. Says it has no evidence that iran was behind this specific attack. Does the Israeli Government know that iran was behind this attack . Theres a question of whether iran knew about the timing of this specific attack. But iran is behind hamas. Hamas, 93 of their Military Budget is iran. They have meetings all the time, iran and hamas. So, whether they knew the attack was going to happen on this day or three days later or a week later or two weeks later, thats a separate question. Without iran, this attack cannot happen. That, i can assure you. Is an attack against iran under consideration . Iran is a country that works every single day for israels destruction.
