Mr. New York.

Mark Simone on 710 W.O.R.

Well, Michael Goodwin, the best columnist in America.

You can read them every Sunday and every Wednesday in the New York Post.

Yesterday's column, a powerful column, about the situation in Israel.

And he's with us now. Michael Goodwin. How you doing?

Good morning, Mark. Thank you.

Hey, Netanyahu, nobody with more experience in the job, but the response to all of this, talk about that,

how careful it has to be, just not to escalate this into the whole region.

Well, I don't know that there's any way of avoiding that.

In fact, I believe that is the plan from Iran all along,

is to use Hamas to light the fire and with its brutal invasion,

really 15th century kind of warfare,

and then to draw Israel into a heavy response,

and then to open up with Hezbollah in the north,

with the rockets.

And look, depending on how it goes, this could be, you know, a very significant war

that I think changes a lot of perceptions about what's going on over there.

I mean, I don't want to sound melodramatic

or scare people, but I do think this is, this is an, this could be an attempt to eliminate Israel.

That could be the, the sort of fantasy that the Mullahs have that you can draw them in and then

you have a justification for unloading your capabilities on Israel directly from Iran if I mean
