Expert: October 7 trauma shaping Israeli West Bank policy | The Jerusalem Post

Israeli leaders are choosing to prioritize physical security, even if it means “taking the risk of being a pariah nation,” foreign policy expert Harley Lippman said.

The perpetual conflict and instability in the region is partially being kept alive by intellectuals, he claimed, as “they can’t grasp the notion that that’s how wars are resolved, one side defeating the other and the other side crying uncle and giving up…. Their emotion and compassion get in the way of logical thinking.”

While Israel has debatably won the war against Hamas and Hezbollah, despite not yet having achieved all the goals it set out for the conflict, Lippman acknowledged that there was a key front the Jewish state was sorely losing in: the diplomatic war.

…

Unfortunately, nations seldom succeedively produce leaders of the high caliber of Donald Trump, and the US Constitution has put a term limit on this window of opportunity.

This is how the people think that are forcing us into war with Iran and it should legitimately terrify you on this war’s eve.

    Well if your even slightly religious or know the Bible in general. I am not, but this is making me reconsider. his peace board sounds awfully like the covenant talked about in revelation, Daniel, and theologians.

    Now billionaires generally don’t like being told no and for $5 billion they probably want some return on their investment. Alot of these wanting to join don’t get along. So let’s say they actually announce a peace deal of about 7 years Bible says that lasts only about 3.5

    There were already legit concerns about him being a biblical antichrist

      It sounds all absurd honestly but sadly the Born Again Christan Nationalists are in the government so wouldn’t shock me that is the logic being followed.
