It's dismaying to see demonstrators all over the ME now binding Israel and the US at the hip as though they/we are the same entity. Biden may have been overly adamant in expressing US support for Israel, making negotiators' jobs all the more difficult, assuming they ever get to the point of negotiating. The focus needs to be on peace-making or we will be drawn into another war we can't win.

Netanyahu did not serve the purpose of peace when he spoke at the UN last month and held up a map of Israel that drew some gasps because it did not include Gaza, and that may have signaled some kind of Israeli intent that played into the Hamas attack.

We can expect more trouble of several kinds stateside. And just when violent crimes were down according to the FBI's latest reporting.
