Israel Update.
No suitable replacement of Netanyahu in Israel is electable. Benny Gantz would be elected, who is almost worse than Netanyahu, a war hawk’s hawk. I took an immediate dislike of him, like I did of GWB, Cheney, and their lackey, Condoleezza Rice, their useful idiot, who co-enthusiastically promoted the fictitious weapons-of-mass-destruction war against Iraq. How many did we kill there? The Palestinians can’t have it both ways. Israel must decimate Hamas AND protect/support/supply/provide safe areas for the innocent civilians in Gaza, particularly mothers and kids. Israel is not about to do so, or provide equality, opportunity, and living space to them, provide any of the necessities of life . . . which leaves the USA to do most of that, a drop in the bucket. If we drop 40,000 MREs but 240,000 are starving, thirsty . . .
