    At what point does Biden realize he’s made a giant mistake? You’re lecturing us for not paying attention to history. Is Biden?

      Turn it around.

      Can you lay out a detailed plan showing Biden exactly what to do? Something that covers not just the Palestinians and the Israelis, but alos the iranians, the sryians, the russians, the Saudis, and all the other interested and highly armed parties in the region?

      I have no idea how to restart a problem that’s been formenting since 1948, do you?

          If you think it’s that simple, you probably believed Trump was going to get Mexico to pay for the Wall.

            You asked me a question and I answered it. Are you going to answer my question now?

            At what point does Biden realize he’s made a giant mistake? You’re lecturing us for not paying attention to history. Is Biden?

            Or hell, let me ask you. Given the choice between supporting Israel or Biden winning the election which would you choose?

              You’re very funny.

              You act as if you have absolutely zero understanding of the complexities of the situation, and then demand that I ignore them, too.

              Israel has nukes. Think they wouldn’t use them if Iran invaded? Think they wouldn’t throw a few at Mecca and Moscow as a farewell gift?

              That’s just one thing I’ve thought about. Biden probably has fifty worse scenarios from people who have studied the situation for years.

              Pretending that just stopping is a realistic option is childish at best.

                  In a word, yes.

                  I say that it’s an incredibly complex situation that has baffled some of the finest political and diplomatic minds of the past 100 years.

                  You say it isn’t complicated.

                  Just remember that Israel has nuclear weapons, and I for one would not like to see those weapons get used.

                    In a word, yes.

                    Yes I agree it’s upsetting when the choice placed in front of you is too reductive. I know exactly how you feel. But sometimes that’s how life is. What’s your choice?

          Biden can’t decide that

          It was decided by a treaty like 75 years ago.

          To overthrow it would take massive changes and breaking contracts. Doable, but not in the time frame you want.

          It really isn’t as simple as you think.
