Israel is in a state of crises. Enemies at all its borders, inflation is 10% and rising, people marching out on the streets, country is bad shape.
Benyamin Netanyahou calls a meeting of the Knesset to discuss crises. In the talks Lieberman comes up with a fantastic idea which grabs all the members by surprise and looks very attractive as a solution to all their problems.
We'll declare war on the United States of America and lose the war. Upon some objections he persists and wins the Knesset over. Explains Germany and Japan, both defeated in the 2nd World War and now they have the strongest economies and both protected by the USA. World beating trading countries allies of the US. Think Marshall plan and billions pumped into Israel. Even more than the crumbs we get today.
Excited glares and smiles abound in the room.
An elderly gentleman sitting at the rear of the Knesset with a long white beard down to his belt raises a hand and slowly points out;
If we lose yes it may be as you say but what happens if we win the war?
