Sure seems timed to upset any possible peace plan we may have been able to pull together.

Otherwise Israel will be just fine.

I worry more for its neighbours and occupied. Their catastrophe - Nakba- is real, not imaginary and hypothetical.

If I were a betting man, I would bet my golf clubs that there will not be a deal today nor any deal in the coming months, but hey, the price of crude is below $90/barrel, can't have $7/gal gas for the 4th of July.

that Bibi has been doing all this warmongering to bring Trump to his knees - it's not just the security of Israel (IMHO)
His aggression is undermining any "peace deal" that Trump may achieve with Iran.
It was Netanyahu that convinced him to involve the US is this war. Look to Jared for being a major contributor to that.

Two evil families .....

One could write an HBO special drama about this. Not quite like Game of Thrones, but the same genre.


Don't yell at me, I'm just having my coffee.

There are NO Red Lines for Israel. Not even genocide.

He's been learning that lesson for well over 2 years now.

But I agree he doesn't want peace and he's purposely thwarting it. He wants to demolish both Lebanon and Iran. Then he MIGHT settle for "peace" on his own terms. Israel as the hegemony of the region and expanded state of Greater Israel. The question is who will stop him?

I hope that wasn't yelling. Good Morning.
