Yeah, it's really hard to say how this will play out.

It really depends on how explicitly donald told benny "Do not bomb Iran." I think we'll know a lot based on the tone if/when donald comments on the strikes. I'm leaning towards him being ok with the strike but if he's upset I imagine he will be very upset.

If this does not erode all trust in the US I do not know what will, right here is an admission the peace talks where just a front to get everyones guard down

I still remember how yesteryear I was replaying Conflict: The Middle East Political Simulator while listening to Al Jazeera, and afterwards I assembled this image as a snarky comment on the Islamic Rep. of Iran launching drones at the occupation. At the time, I did not seriously believe that the Islamic Rep. of Iran was going to invade the occupation, only devastate the IOF. Now? An invasion doesn’t sound that unlikely. Maybe Tehran will limit itself to mere bombardments, but at this point, who knows.

All that I can say with certainty is that I’m mad at how this entire situation has been a waste of everything. A huge waste of Palestinian lives, a waste of the effort and other resources that went into their neighborhoods, a waste of their precious history, a waste of their time, a waste of our planet, and it is all because of this settler-colonial project that never needed to happen.
