In reply to the discussion: More than 90 Palestinians killed in Israeli strike on school and mosque sheltering displaced people, Gaza officials say [View all]ShazzieB
(19,063 posts)I'm not thrilled myself that the U.S. is still helping to provide Israel with weapons, but our government is also working very hard, with the help of some of Israel's neighbors and others, to broker a ceasefire.
Here's the problem: the only real solution to this mess is a two state solution, which neither Hamas OR Netanyahu want. I believe the only reason Bibi is even pretending to try to work towards peace is because he knows he can't afford to completely alienate the U.S. If it wasn't for that and constant behind the scenes efforts from Biden and Secretary Blinken, I strongly suspect that things would be even worse over there.
If Trump gets elected, he'll be fine with whatever Bibi wants to do, and he'll sit back and smile benevolently while Bibi takes possession of Gaza, steps up the settlements in the left bank, and wipes out the Palestinians completely.
And no, I can't prove all of this (except the part about Trump giving Bibi free rein, which he has been very clear about), but when I put all the pieces together, that's the picture I see. YMMV, and obviously does.
