After what we have witnessed the past few days, there is no turning back.  Both sides are making final preparations for all-out war, and soon the Middle East will erupt in flames.  Almost a year ago, a lot of people out there didn’t believe me when I explained that the conflict between Israel and Hamas would eventually evolve into “the big war” in the Middle East.  But now there is no denying what is happening.  We really are on the brink of the unthinkable, and as you will see at the end of this article, behind the scenes someone is very happy because things are going exactly as he had hoped.
