The problem for Kamala to comment on Gaza while a ceasefire is being negotiated, is that it could prove counterproductive.

We’ve seen how Bibi reacted when Biden threatened to withhold some offensive weapons being used to bomb civilians in Gaza. He and his messianic Jewish cohorts in the Knesset, annexed another 2,000 acres of land in The West Bank for settler development.

Make no mistake, Bibi is a friend to no one, least of all Israel and America. His religious wing-nuts are even worse. They don’t care about the hostages, civilian casualties in Gaza, or the treatment of Palestinian prisoners.

Additionally, they will not agree to a two state solution, or Palestinian governance in Gaza. They even ruled out international occupation. In short, Bibi has no solution to the problem once an ultimate ceasefire is reached, which is a recipe for disaster.

Furthermore, Bibi continues to have delusions of grandeur; believing Hamas can be defeated. News flash: an ideology cannot be defeated. If we learned anything from 9/11, it’s when you defeat one terror group, several more emerge from the shadows.

Case in point. Al Qaeda, which never existed before we invaded Iraq, eventually splinted into two groups: one being ISIS, the other, Al Qaeda in Iraq.

Today, after the US spent over $6 trillion fighting the war on terror, we actually created more terrorist groups, currently operating in countries where Muslim extremism never existed before. Bottom line: we created more terrorists than we killed and suffered more casualties than during 9/11, and we’ve been playing whac-a-mole ever since.

Furthermore, Israel is heading down the same rabbit hole we did, and they aren’t America. They can’t just print money like we do, and their military isn’t built for long wars of attrition. Their military is 80% reservists, and their economy is currently the third largest in all of Western Asia and the Middle East; behind Turkey and Saudi Arabia, respectively.

A long war on several fronts will eventually destroy their robust economy which is one of the riches per capita in the world. It is a country of 9 million (not including the Palestinian territories), with a GDP just under $600 billion.

Bibi and his incompetent and demonic allies are willing to throw this all away for what? And the US would be stupid supporting a suicide pact with a morally bankrupt, narcissistic sociopath like Bibi; yet here we are.

I’m Jewish and love Israel, but revenge isn’t the same as defense. We should have learned that emotional reactions are never the best way to solve a conflict or deal with a terror attack. Actions need to be thought out and deliberate. Bibi has shown he has no idea what he is doing, and we should not follow this man into the abyss.

IMHO!…:)
