A Certain Inevitability

What is Israel doing? It must get old being at war all the time, always having to be on guard, deciding to take the offensive while much of the rest of the world is wondering if you’re playing with a full deck.

Unless something changes drastically, the U.S. will be impotent in trying to negotiate some sort of tenuous peace between Hamas and Hezbollah and Israel. And when one gives this situation any thought, how can the U.S. have any diplomatic standing anyway, since we are the main supporter and supplier of Israeli military equipment? We don’t get to talk out of both sides of our mouth. It’s like pouring water into a bucket with a gaping hole in the bottom, or something like that.

In any event, things are deteriorating, and all the Blinken trips and other State Department efforts don’t seem to be doing much good.
