The Forum went to the satellites over 43 bases to map the force that would fight a second round with Iran. Then Rubio's two answers, Tehran's two-day plan, the Netanyahu call, Israel's coalition calendar, Michigan and The Number.

Two days before the vote: what a Democratic House could and could not do about the Iran war, the fight against Islamist influence and the alliances in the region, and why the decisions that matter will be made in the eight weeks before it sits.
Treasury's report on its Iran campaign reached the President on Thursday and the press on Friday; it says the blockade and sanctions have crippled Iran's economy, and officials in Tehran describe the same shortages from their side. The same day the capital's Friday prayer leader asked for a new nuclear doctrine. Then Israel, Michigan, Beirut and the Security Council.

The Forum's new site puts 928 statements from 36 Michigan institutions on the institutions' own video, beside the $47.4 million in public money 12 of them received and the officials who honored them. The Detroit center whose Friday prayer asked God to kill Netanyahu's soldiers "leaving none of them" received $45 million, most of it school-meal money paid through Lansing.
The police found no evidence for Likud's theft claim, the elections committee's chairman gave the Shin Bet a week to test a suspicion of foreign money, and the soldiers' ballots moved one seat inside Netanyahu's bloc and one among the Arab parties.

Israel’s turnout ran ahead of every election its committee has measured, Likud asked for an extra hour without saying why, and the exit polls come tonight. Then Iran’s strike plans, the Gulf, Hezbollah, Hamas, Washington and Europe.

A reader says pistols, not rifles; readers say I called failure on Iran too soon; a San Diego publisher asks whether CAIR's definition is wrong on its merits; and a 101-year-old says there cannot be a Jewish republic. 169 letters answered, the afternoon before Israel votes.

Israel votes on Tuesday with Iran’s threats, the prime minister’s mushroom-cloud post, and a record number of complaints before the elections committee. Israel’s law already says what happens to a vote under attack. The longer question is why a state whose rules can be rewritten by 61 votes treats every election as a matter of survival, and what the next Knesset can do about it.
