    Drumpf’s little war did exactly what it was supposed to do

    Israel annexed more of Palestine, and had seized significant amounts of Lebanon

    They’ll keep chipping away further and the west would will mostly ignore it for fear of being labelled as antisemites

    This was nothing more than Trump doing what he was told by Netanyahu, in the hope of getting some money and keeping the dirt Israel has on him kept under wraps

      It is backfiring, though. Support for Israel is plummeting globally. Accusations of antisemitism are meaningless now because Israel changed the meaning of the word: an antisemite is just a person who criticizes Israeli foreign policy.

        Just to further add support for Israel is collapsing in the US on both the left and the right, sure it’s for different reasons but the effect will be the same regardless. Once the forgotten and boomers are gone or otherwise weakened Israel will probably be dropped like a bad habit, so they have ten years maximum in my estimation.
