Israel: Bibi’s Self-preservation

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu authorized a missile strike on a diplomatic consulate in Syria to antagonize Iran, goading them to counterattack, knowing that the US would stand with Israel. This action which follows several of his recent decisions is designed to keep himself in power and avoid judicial accountability.

Suggestions:

The US should not be snookered into participating in the escalating tit-for-tat between Israel and Iran.

It should be announced that military aid to Israel would be curtailed or cut off if it does not announce an immediate ceasefire and allow humanitarian aid to be restored to a level that would prevent starvation in Gaza. The scale of retribution by Israel in Gaza is not justifiable.

The United States should immediately recognize a Palestinian state governed by the Palestinian Authority.

For years, Netanyahu propped up Hamas. Now it’s blown up in our faces
