“”I don’t think it’s that simple but it does seem like Israelis are stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to the leaders they’re able to elect. Netanyahu has lost a lot of good will but there are no good alternatives.””

I think it is exactly ‘that simple’. Israel is engaged in an ongoing Catch 22. No matter which way they go, or what direction they take, or what policies they enact, or what reactions they make...
there are factions out there determined to make shock-sure that Israel loses. The entire Gaza/Hamas situation is a lose-lose one for Bibi. It’s surreal how the world seems to be more and more aligned against Israel as the days go by.
Gee... and come to think of it... it’s almost like it’s Biblical in nature.
Biblical or not. Middle East or not. The US still needs to be discerning about how it involves itself around the world. Claiming to just pour money and weapons over Israel and calling it the “Lord’s work” is not Biblical. It might even be cursing the region instead of blessing it.
God doesn’t need human interference in helping usher His prophecies along. His promises stand regardless of how you interpret them. Jesus’ only command to His followers is to spread the Gospel to all nations. To seek peace and pursue it.
