Supposedly, the Palestinians and Iran are the Jew’s worst enemy. Or to be more accurate their respective leadership is. The truth is, the Palestinian and Iranian threats are useful “for internal consumption”. To scare the children, that’s all. The US once used the Soviets the same way.
The USSR lacked food and advanced technology for many decades, so guess who kept them supplied? Their “enemy”, the United States, through the US-USSR Trade and Economic Council (USTEC) and other associations. Tony Sutton in his “National Suicide: Military Aid to the Soviet Union” (Arlington House, 1973) went into many of the details. Enemy or not, there was money to be made. He even revealed the U.S. government in 1972 authorized the export to the USSR of the unique, patented micro-ballbearing grinding tools that alone made possible MIRVed nuclear warheads.
Just like tax policy, careful to keep the wealth in the hands of the presently rich (at the given time), foreign policy is above all for the sake of big businessmen. Trade dictates the peace and trade dictates the wars (see “The United Fruit Company“).
This is why all sorts of Israeli businessmen still sell weapons to Iran (yes, indeed) with hush-hush permission. This is why Israel “technically” funds the PLO (or whatever they’re calling it these days). Did you notice how fast Israel acted to free Elchanan Tannenbaum? You and I don’t count. Government is by the rich and for the rich. Always has been, always will be.
The rightists who seek to make military wars “more consistent” are just naive. They aren’t wars at all, but games. Want an example of a real war? What the Israelis are busy prosecuting is a war against the Jews. The bogeymen are poor proxies. It’s a bit harder to see the real war, but it’s true and explains the facts far better.
The State is always at war against its own citizens; real war.
