I understand why he had to do all that, the same reason that he had to infamously call Islam the “religion of peace”.
Same reason you can’t take a truckload of TNT and disarm it by blowing it up as is, where it is. You pick your targets, you isolate them, you eliminate them one at a time, far from each other.
Trump is doing the same thing. He’s only talking about taking out ISIS right now, as if they were the only threat in the world. They are not, but if you start talking about Hizbollah, Hamas, etc., all in the same breath, they start working more closely together, rather than feuding amongst each other over who will take over ISIS’ turf when they’re gone.
All well and good.
Now, why did he send hundreds of millions to the Arabs on the West Bank and in Gaza?
It enabled them to attack Israel in various ways.
