Correcting the "Escalation" Nonsense
(Commentary) Seth Mandel - Israel, you may have read, has escalated tensions with the Palestinians, escalated conflict with Hizbullah, initiated a major escalation with Iran, and even risked escalation with the Houthis in Yemen.

Iran has been escalating the conflict for months on various fronts, and Israel's response to this escalation was an attempt to prevent Iran's escalation from coming to full fruition.
