  1. Netanyahu wants Trump elected so it makes sense to escalate and cause a shtshow in the ME in order try and get oil prices up, to hurt the Dems with higher prices at the pump.

  2. This is all well and good, but doesn’t solve the profound hatred and otherwise uselessness of the surrounding muslim, etc., populations that want those lands back. Which wouldn’t end violence, poverty, and the natural radicalization that happens inevitably whether the lands are recovered, lost, or locked in conflict. A total garbage part of the world. What else can be done? – good fences make good neighbours.

  3. I hate to see the loss of life this will cause all involved but Israel is done with the endless fake peace plans. I wish them luck.
