re: Israel is a US surrogate..
I expect this to be difficult, with your somewhat flexible grasp of objectivity, but okay. Israel, too. But not if Iran attacks them first.
Notice how the "imminent attack in a few weeks" has now been stretched out to almost two years to allow you squirming room. When nothing happens in the next couple of months, that meme will have been swept under the rug like most other leftist brainfarts.
