While the IDF was ethnically cleansing the Gaza Strip, razing 80% of its buildings and slaughtering hundreds of thousands of its people in an internationally condemned genocide, the Israeli people were calm and happy. Now that Trump is forcing Israel to stop attacking Iran and its ally Hezbollah in Lebanon, Israeli warmongers are furious. This society has screwed-up priorities.

Trump is NOT “is forcing Israel” to do anything, especially stop its perpetual killing on a myriad of fronts, unless and until he withdraws all military, intelligence and diplomatic support that has been the basis (i.e.: complete dependency) of the US “special relationship with its best ally” for many decades.
What Trump does well is political performance. This is nothing new on the US scene. In the absence of critical confirmatory factors, the stage show is no more credible now then before. (See, e.g., T.Rall new column: “Is This Column Real?”)
Trump’s re-election was successful in significant part due to contributions of $$$hundreds of millions from Zionist donors. These people are well established political assassins who are really upset when their money doesn’t get them what they want … much less pressure to stop doing what they want. Trump is hardly THAT stupid.
