    Best thing 5he Democrats can do to lose the election is get dragged into a war with Iran which it fights on Israels behalf.

    Best thing Netanyahu can do is start this war now, so he can make sure either suceeding US administration is already sucked in and send American kids to die for him.

    • Right on the 2nd point.

      On the 1st … hope it’s not true. The current GOP candidate is already saying Biden is being too hard on Israel and not helping them enough. So going with Dem is still the best way. That said, would likely benefit the Dems if somehow further escalations didn’t happen or got delayed until after the election…

    This is Israel admitting they can’t defend themselves adequately and need their sugar daddy, America, to help out.

      Israel will never accept that US is lyk a big brother to them in assisting during such wars… They will behave as if without US’ much needed help, they are the same force to reckon with.
