If they go for Intifada III against the Israelis again, methinks that the US will not hold the Israelis back this time, at least I hope we let the Israelis finish off the PLO/HAMAS once and for all - but FEAR NOT! THE UN will step in to save their sorry rear ends.
Only the gates of heaven can stop the gates of hell.
This can look like various things.
It can look like those manning the gates of hell simply becoming stupefied and not acting, or only acting erratically.

I think we saw a microcosm of this when Mike Pence got elected along with Donald Trump with surprisingly little fuss from the homo community. Conventional politics would say that Donald Trump got all the eyes and that they simply didn’t notice that Mike Pence is Mr. Reparative Therapy. But libbies scrutinize everything with a microscope and a fine tooth comb. If they missed it, maybe they were so enthralled with having won the Gay Marriage battle that they didn’t see that the light at the end of the tunnel was the headlamp of an oncoming train... whack!
