I think Trump is frustrated with Netanyahu for one reason or another. Trump wants to wrap things up there but Netanyahu seems to want continued war with Iran next on the menu just to keep himself in power. Even some high ranking IDF generals have been complaining about Netanyahu.

And half of MAGA (the real America first half) wants us to quit paying for these expensive wars. MIGA is not MAGA and this is becoming a bigger issue within the party all the time. Look what happened when Charlie Kirk brought Tucker and Dave Smith on to speak at a Turning Point event and while the audience cheered them the Evangelical boomers are trying to paint them as antisemites.

If Israel didn’t fill the current power vacuum, the new Ottoman Sultan Erdogan would. Or maybe someone worse.

Well the truth is war with Iran is not in the interest of the US (especially at this time while other things are cooking) while it IS in the interests of Israel. We need to do what is in OUR interests and not theirs. This is commonsense and calling people anti-Israel for saying such is nonsense.

In Gaza, where Israel’s offensive has killed more than 60,000 Palestinians, according to Palestinian officials. . .

I'm sorry, I couldn't quite read that last phrase. Was it, "according to a man I saw walking on the street talking to himself out loud with his hat on backwards"?

I would believe him before Ham-ass, or any "official" that calls itself "Palestinian"--whatever that word means.

Ham-ass is a little Mafia that lives off sucker-donor countries in Europe and the Middle East--who probably know full well that every dime Ham-ass gets for emergency food and medical service goes to houses, yachts, and mistresses for the capos who run Ham-ass, plus weapons and explosives to kill Israeli civilians.

“ Netanyahu seems to want continued war with Iran next on the menu just to keep himself in power.”

Citation, please.

Israel may very well wind up tangling militarily with Turkey over this in Syria before this is over.

But we continue spending tens of billions over there and can no longer afford it. We have our own oil and gas reserves here in the US. Let Europe or whoever worry about what goes on over there. And let them pay for that themselves.

Netanyahu has said for a long time that he will eliminate Hamas. Trump agreed with him. That requires war. Amazing how many want to go soft on radical Muslims, and allow them to regroup.

God is on Israel’s side, so I’m on Israel’s side. He made a promise to Israel. He didn’t make one in the United States.

if I remember right God sent Moses to lead the Hebrew slaves out of captivity in Egypt and into the land of Canaan including the land of the Philistines with instructions to kill every man woman child and beast of the field within that land and take it over. when they got there Moses got weak and sent in spies to determine how strong the enemy was. His spies told him that they were too strong and the Israelites could not conquer them so Moses did not go in. Moses lost his faith and forgot he would not be fighting the battle God would. And all things are possible with God. So God made Moses wander in the wilderness for 40 years and only after Moses was dead did he send Joshua in to get the job done.

Does no one read the Bible? It tells you exactly what’s going to happen.

I think Trump is frustrated with Netanyahu for one reason or another.

Starving people illicit sympathy, worldwide.

The US president told reporters that Israel bore “a lot of responsibility” for the crisis in a rebuke to Netanyahu, who had claimed earlier on Monday that there was “no starvation in Gaza”.

Asked whether he agreed with this assessment, Trump said: “I don’t know. Based on television, I would say not particularly, because those children look very hungry.”

He later added: “We can save a lot of people, I mean some of those kids. That’s real starvation; I see it and you can’t fake that. So we’re going to be even more involved.”

Asked what he would ask Netanyahu for next time they spoke, Trump said: “We’re giving money and we’re giving food, but we’re over here … I want him to make sure they get the food. I want to make sure they get the food, every ounce of food.”

When hostilities end Netanyahu will be put out of power and subject to prosecution on bribery charges (unless charges are dropped). So he has no incentive to end this any time soon. He’s got metastasized prostate cancer and figures he’ll just ride this out as long as possible.

Netanyahu also supported Hamas, telling his party that support for Hamas would make a Palestinian state impossible: agreements couldn’t be made with the Palestinian Authority so long as Hamas was in the picture.

Now he says Hamas must be destroyed? Saying so may serve his interests right now, but it’s not to be taken literally.

” suggested that one of Washington’s closest allies, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,”

Ally? What have they done for us? They take our money, cajole us into their wars, and unleashed the Epstein Spy Ring and the Pollard spy ring on us.
With friends like that....

Well I hope God sends a gold meteor worth $37 trillion to land on uninhabited US lands to pay for it then if the apocalypse is postponed (once again). We (and most of the West) are on the verge of bankruptcy and unfortunately the powers that be apparently see WW3 as the only way out. War with Russia will almost certainly turn nuclear at some point. It’s just insanity.

Good, it would teach Turkey a valuable lesson. Don’t f**k with Israel.
