This is so irritating. It's so selfish. NONE of this bullshit would be happening, if long ago, leaders of Israel would have accepted a two state solution. Everyone in the region, and the US, has been pleading with Israel, all these years, to do so. ALL THESE YEARS. Since esp the Six Day War. And now, the world watches the worst thing imaginable, wondering if its all gonna get biblical. Stupid Christians think they gonna get raptured, or Jesus going to fix this whole mess. Its all messed up. They do not get it. But the people who live in Gaza, who have been denied bare minimum human rights for decades, get it. A lot more than other people in the world do. They have been suffering for a very long time. But also, the people of Israel who, are at the mercy of horrible governments, they suffer too, because their leaders refuse this two state solution. Then long ago when they had a leader open to it, he got assassinated. So that went up in smoke. It is so incredibly dark.
They need to cease fire. Stop the bombing. And while Hamas is horrible yes, still do what they can to negotiate getting those hostages back. Stop all of this. Its like they use the US as leverage to do what they want, which sure lots in the region know we are an ally, but they use that. Unfairly. And its put the US in a shitty situation, damned if you do or dont. But the US needs to tell Israel firmly, no more money, no more weapons, if you dont stop! Its the only way Netanyahu will back down. But they have to mean it. And try to get to the table to get the people back. And get humanitarian aid to Gaza. And stop the senseless killing. We all watch and know what he is doing - he is using this whole deal to wipe the Palestenians off the map - its obvious. And the world is watching and many aren't buying his bullshit.
