Rav Amnon Yitzchak on war
Rav Amnon Yitzchak is adding his voice to the fray of rabbonim and mekubalim and saying that within weeks a bloody war will break out.
He points to various incidents to show that the IDF is training for an attack against Iran.
I doubt that Rav Amnon Yitzchak, or any of the other rabbonim commenting on this, are changing careers to become military analysts. I also doubt their purpose is just to be able to say "I told you so" or to be considered prophets. Rather, their purpose in making such statements is to exhort us, the general public and especially the religious public, to do teshuva, to increase our charity and good deeds, and to pray.
Always a good idea.

Don't we go through this every summer? If pundits like this were right, we'd have had another 3 Lebanon wars by now.
