planned this before the election; that Israel would bomb Gaza to the point it was uninhabitable, and Trump would be the one to push this idea?

And he and Netanyahu go back a long way. At the press conference, Netanyahu said the Israel has never had a better friend - and we know that it was in his best interests to keep this war going since he is extremely unpopular and stood to be replaced if the war ended - despite President Biden's work to promote a cease fire. And we did hear ages ago that Jared had his eye on Gaza for seafront "development."

Maybe longer. But anything is possible.

Taking that thought further, though, it kind of makes you wonder about the "intelligence failure" on the world's most-watched and secure border and the slow response of the IDF on Oct. 7th.

It all just fits too well into Israel's far-right's long-term plans for Gaza, backed by Netanyahu all along.

The West got played by at least one very evil man, but possibly by two. Bibi and Trump.
