You see, paper, whether literal or digital, has become both our shield and our shackle. It’s how we document, justify, and, let’s be honest, CYA (cover your “a..”ctions).

Both America and Israel can’t and should never allow any of its enemies, especially weak unsophisticated ones, to launch a surprise attack killing thousands of its citizens.
