He’s wasting his time. Neither side’s leadership wants peace. Hamas is cynically expending civilian lives in order to garner sympathy, and Bibi is cynically killing civilians in order to project an image of toughness. Both claim to be the victim while smiting one another with enthusiasm. A plague on both their houses. It’s high time that we cut all funding to the region, walked away, and let them settle this by themselves. Other than AIPAC and the Israel Firsters in congress, we have no interests there at all.
It’s time to take the bull by the tail and face matters directly - there’s never going to be peace in the region as long as a single Israeli or Palestinian is left alive. All of our efforts there are, to be blunt, a total waste of time and effort. Any ‘agreement’ reached will be breached within a matter of days, and than it’s back to the status quo ante. We have our own problems to deal with. Let them deal with their own.
