The Israeli public generally does not want a two-state solution. Many are Zionists who believe God gave them the land about 9,000 years ago, and they are the owners of the former Palestine.
American Evangelicals are a large cult within the Christian population in the US. They support the Jewish claim to the former Palestine and follow the ideology of Zionism, which is not based on religion but is a political ideology.
Israelis and American Zionists have no qualms with Israel killing over 41,000 people in Gaza, and over 96,700 people injured as of Oct. 3, 2024.
The fact that Palestinian Christians are killed, maimed, injured and their ancient churches destroyed by Israel does not bother the American Evangelicals. They are so sure of their God's plan, that genocide is justified. They defend their lack of morals as a Biblical promise by a God who does not want justice and equality in Palestine.
Biden has stated publically that he is a Zionist.
According to the UN, at least 10,000 people are assumed to be buried under the rubble of Gaza. The hospitals have been destroyed, medical workers killed and food and medical supplies have been prevented from delivery by Israel, according to the UN, which has reported on the famine in Gaza that is preventable.
Philippe Lazzarini, commissioner-general for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, said on Oct. 2 that more than 100,000 metric tons of food is being prevented from delivery because of Israeli restrictions.
Netanyahu has now begun a campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon and has successfully eliminated many of the top leadership of the resistance group.Israeli military claims that the have destroyed 50% of Hezbollah's weapons but in reality the haven't and the Israeli air force have destroyed the neighborhood in south Beirut , as well as many areas they lived in the south.
None of Israel's military achievements will bring them closer to peace, economic recovery, or security. The 'cancer' of the Middle East is the Israeli occupation of Palestine. When facing cancer, some surgeries and treatments can produce healing and good health. Hi.ding from the diagnosis, and refusing to seek a solution only prolongs the illness, and can eventually lead to death.
Netanyahu is on a path to use band-aides, paid for by the US taxpayer, to treat a potentially incurable disease, because he refuses to recognize the diagnosis and begin the first step towards recovery.
The genocide in Gaza was made possible by Biden, and Vice President Kamala Harris. They kept the flow of $17.9 billion in cash and weapons to Israel, even breaking US State Department regulations preventing the transfer of weapons to conflict where human rights are abused.
Netanyahu is perfectly positioned to execute his plans in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon. The Oval Office is flying on autopilot as Biden is in the last days of his term. Biden has given Netanyahu a brightly lit 'green light' to do anything he likes, regardless of what international rules and norms he bulldozes over.
