    It’s not inconceivable. The issue is that what is in the interest of nations and what is in the interest of the nation’s decision-makers often diverge - and in the case of Trump and Netanyahu, diverge quite starkly.

    This entire atrocity is nothing but a disaster for the entire region, Israel included, but it benefits a few Israeli decision-makers, so it goes forward.

      Trumps interests will converge to anyone who gives him enough money. There is a big question now if Russian/Saudi money will be enough to get rid of the AIPAC money he would be getting.
