That is the headline of an editorial in the Jewish Daily Forward. It points out that while AIPAC and J Street, the major U.S. Israeli lobbying groups, are busy promoting the views of PM Netanyahu and DM Barak vis a vis Iran, the Israeli public along with Israeli military and intelligence officials are less enthused. Curious that the people most knowledgeable about warfare (including U.S. military) and the people must likely to suffer the repercussions (the Israeli public) have deep misgivings about starting a war with Iran.
