It’s probable there would be a conflict no matter who was president. There are two Palestinian states inside Israel, The West Bank and The Gaza Strip. The Gaza Strip is controlled by Hamas, a militant, anti Israeli terrorist group. While The West Bank is controlled by the Palestinian National Authority, a militant anti Israeli terrorist group. The West Bank will shortly have an election and Hamas needed to establish that THEY and no other, were the terrorists committed to the destruction of Israel. There have, incidentally, been armed conflicts between the PNA and Hamas. These are mostly over control of resources, taxation and of course, because the group over there is different than the group over here AND THEY MUST DIE.

As am aside, the Arabs living inside Israel, most of whom, of course, hate Israel, do not want to be led by either Palestinian organization.

On top of this, there has been an unprecedented number of elections in Israel where the “winner” (Netanyahu and company) have been unable to form a governing coalition. The next election will occur shortly and Hama feels that they can force Netanyahu to do something that will cause him to lose the next election. I think we have about a month to go. There can’t be any cessation of hostilities before then, as Hamas wants the Israelis to invade Gaza so they can inflict a maximum of casualties on the Israelis, which, of course, will be blamed on Netanyahu.

Meanwhile, you can be certain that Iran will do as much as possible to create problems outside Israel in furtherance to weakening the government.

As you can see, this would be going on even if Jesus had been elected president.

“The Palestinians have lost all real support except from Iran.”

I guess that means that the foreign policy experts of the Joe Stolen/Chameleon Harris regime will have to rush in and prop up Iran.

“Here’s everything you need to round out your nuclear program. Go for it!”

The green light works well.

Have to have a brain before you can have a headache.

“Israel’s air strikes on the militant Hamas movement in Gaza have forced the Middle East on to Joe Biden’s agenda”


Please note that the headline IS NOT “Hamas’s rocket attacks on Israel have forced the Middle East on to Joe Biden’s agenda”

well, Biden basically created this “crisis” by
1. giving $$ to the Muslim terrorists, Hamas
2. letting the PLO-Abbas terrorists back into Washington DC
3. giving more $$ to the terrorists
4. kissing up to the Iranian terrorist regime instead of defeating or disarming it
5. appointing a number of obviously pro-terrorist or Fakestinian, anti=American people into his administration

clearer signals for the Muslim terrorists to launch more warfare, terrorist attacks COULD NOT HAVE BEEN SENT

Au contrail mon frail. It would be a headache only if he actually knew what is going on there. His masters are keeping him, mushroom-like, in the dark.

Israel was a fickle friend to Trump and Netanyahu was one of the first to rush up and kiss the ass of Biden after the election. That in spite of how much of a friend Trump had been.
