I don't know if this is entirely Biden's fault, but the US has made a radical change in policy from the previous admin that has contributed to this escalation.

IMO Trump deserves a Nobel prize for negotiating a peace deal. But Biden will probably get one for unraveling it.

We've kept Isreal on a leash for a long time. America's new found ineptitude will probably just embolden them to be more aggressive in their response to terrorist attacks and bombings.

The Gaza War at the end of 2008 was some pretty fascinating live feed viewing.

A peace deal that one side isn't party to isn't a peace deal.

If you like Tank battles the battle for Golan Heights is a great one to take a look at.

Politics aside the IDF is a fascinating study in military tactics


Repaired a picture frame for a friend of her dad's tank during that war. Think his story was that they were blocked in, possibly immobile, and survived for a few days earing pistachios in the field they couldn't get out of.

Yeah our media run by 20 year olds on social media these days is acting like this is the first time this has ever happened. This is a once every few years event. Nothing ever happens.

Yep, that war was pre-social media (as we now know it) but still had some great footage from live feeds inside Gaza.

But since it wasn't on twitter, it doesn't exist.

They are ruthless AF. And they have to be given their neighborhood.

I'm astonished at how we went from a semi truce to this point since Biden got into the WH. I mean that escalated quickly. No bullshite.

Jared Kushner was the most underappreciated diplomat in American history. Dude deserved a Nobel prize probably more than Trump did. This would not have happened when he was active in global politics.
