Israel has never really concerned themselves with US interests, and have probably sold all of our military secrets to China. Seems like we have pretty maximal leverage here, it's not like anyone else can provide them JDAMs at scale. At the very least can we get leases to their offshore nat gas/ oil fields in exchange for this?

The Biden admin won't give them M-16s without assurances that they won't end up in the hands of West Bank settlers, and yet we give them GPS guided bombs without condition? Missed opportunity, burning up all this political capital with no upside

The Houthi in Jemen are working with Iran, and are in a war with Saudi Arabia and the legitimate government of Jemen. The Houthi even declared war on Israel.

Hamas uses human shields, including children and there is no way to tell who is a diversion or has a bomb strapped to them.
All of this would end if Hamas surrendered and released the hostages.

You can bet the house on IDF troops shooting all the hostages on sight and blaming Hamas.
They’re not exactly stopping to ask anyone for the id before shooting them.

This puts paid to that bullshit you just posted. IDF have never hesitated a second in shooting anyone so blaming Hamas is ridiculous.

You’re not only targeting Hamas if you’re bombing with phosphorus. You’re targeting everyone in there with no regard whatsoever for human life.

If her final public act was to lose to Trump a 2nd time she'd find a way to take the world down with her.

Which is exactly what’s going to happen if trump wins. So let her at it.


She’s definitely still on point and in better shape than either him or Biden
