The Israelis aren’t dumb so it makes you wonder how this was allowed to happen, unless the real endgame is to weaken the U.S. influence on the Middle East.

The American people won’t support this as a ground conflict. They are already against it as a minor incursion. Rs are cooked in the midterms bigly unless this gets wrapped up.

Imposing corporate abuse, neglect and greed on deserving victims.
