It’s a near total disconnect with the reality of the Gaza War.
The Ayatollah is prolifically tweeting including antisemitic tropes about Jews running the media. But does Iran have Israel where it wants them, in a cycle of “forever war”?
How must Israel change to get out of a perpetual state of war? Does it start with pushing Hezbollah back north of the Litani river?
Iran has enough material for 13 nuclear bombs. They haven’t got the bomb yet. But if not now when? 
And as Norway, Spain and Ireland declare for Palestine, is this down the weakness in support for Israel by the Biden administration? 
These are questions for Jonathan Conricus, now retired as a Lieutenant Colonel from the IDF, nowadays with the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, he focuses on the Middle East.
Jonathan enjoyed a distinguished career serving as a combat commander in Lebanon and Gaza, a military diplomat, a foreign relations expert, and an international spokesperson for the IDF.

You’ll know Alex Deane if you’re a regular news channel viewer.
A regular commentator and reviewer on Sky News, BBC’s dateline London and GB News, he says couldn’t stand idly by in an era where the conviction politician might stand an electoral chance to buck the trend.
And Alex is standing in Finchley and Golders Green, Margaret Thatcher’s seat made vacant by Mike Freer, hounded out of public life when his constituency office was burned down. He was also the original target of assassin Ali Harbi Ali, who murdered fellow Tory MP for Southend West, Sir David Amess.
Alex was called to the bar at Middle Temple in 2005 and served as Chief of Staff to David Cameron when he was Shadow Secretary of State for Education.
He’s also an historian and author of "Lessons From History" uncovering great heroes who history have forgotten but who helped shape the world we live in now.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak declared just hours before - with the poll set for July 4th. 
Finchley is a big constituency stretching from Cricklewood Broadway, lapping at the shores of Whetstone, so if you’re an N or an NW, listen up, this is Alex Deane.
