What is going on here?
quote:

Israel told the Trump administration its recent attack on a Syrian airbase was aimed at preventing a Turkish military buildup in the area, U.S. and Israeli officials said.

Why it matters: The unusual strike exacerbated tensions in the region between three close U.S. partners, just as the Trump administration is trying to prevent further escalation.

Sadly we are probably financing the lion’s share of the total cost of all those conflicts
One way or another

Did you and all the other anti-Semitic idiots know that Israel must spend 92% of its $3 billion in annual U.S. grants directly on U.S.-made weapons?

Of course, you didn't.

They're rioting in Africa. They're starving in Spain. There's hurricanes in Florida and Texas needs rain.
The whole world is festering with unhappy souls. The French hate the Germans. The Germans hate the Poles.
Italians hate Yugoslavs. South Africans hate the Dutch and I don't like anybody very much!

It seems to me Israel is just as disinterested in peace as Iran

It was just reported that Trump convinced Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan to sign a defense agreement.

People on this board have many times said that Israel is picking a fight with Turkey.

If you put the two together, one can make the argument that Trump is setting it up to reduce Israeli influence in the region.
