It’s incredible how every Islamic faction that’s involved has been way more cautious and careful for this entire conflict than Israel. I really admire their restraint! Israel is trying to escalate things left and right, but every other faction is trying to keep things from blowing up.
If Biden doesn’t jump on this then he wants Trump to win.

Israel has nukes and is itching to use them.

If the US wasn’t on my side, I’d choose my words carefully, as well.

‘Operation Prosperity Guardian’
They pick the most cringe ass names lol

At least it’s not a backronym.
Imagine Operation R.E.D.S.E.A. or some shit

Watch as the US still doesn’t press Israel into a ceasefire. It’s becoming increasingly apparent that conflict in the Middle East isn’t an unfortunate circumstance but a goal of American foreign policy.

Well that’s just threatening them with a good time.
Netanyahu doesn’t want a ceasefire and he does want Iran to attack and draw the US into the conflict.

Netanyahu only wants one thing, and it’s to stay in power for as long as possible. If a regional war gives that to him (via Ben-Gvir), he won’t mind.
Edit: He currently holds a parliamentary majority. If he agrees to a ceasefire, the more extreme members of his coalition will no-confidence him together with the opposition. And, as it stands right now, he has no chance of participating in the next government.

Pretty sure he needs conflict to stay in power and he needs power to shield him.

When Trump imposes fascism in the USA, think back on how Israel fucked us over.
