Israel asked him to do it
"asked". I'm beginning to think it is a lot more direct than that.
Seemed pretty obvious that Bibi wanted Trump to win and intentionally stalled Gaza ceasefire agreements to make Biden/Harris look bad.
This may have been Trump returning his end of the bargain (or Trump is just a shortsighted and stupid piece of shit).
Well Biden/Harris could have pulled the plug for doing that. Instead they let Netanyahu publicly humiliate them by defying any requests, knowing they would send more weapons as a reward.
They really couldn't. They were caught between a rock and a hard place.
Which is why Musk was able to dump over $70 million in exactly opposite attack ad messages to both Jewish and Muslim communities inside the key battleground state of Pennsylvania.
If they pulled military aid on Ukraine, one of the most powerful lobbyists in a close election would've unleashed their funding, and Republicans too would have labeled Harris and Biden as Antisemitic. Netanyahu would have publicly stated that, "Democrats are putting Israeli citizens at risk from terrorist attack by leaving us defenseless!" In the worst case scenario, Netanyahu -- already proven to be a psychopath who ignored obvious intelligence of an impending attack once -- could have possibly staged a false flag attack similar to Putin's past actions, and that would've sealed the deal. The public media would've labeled Biden/Harris as antisemitic and incompetent.
It's why they literally had to toe the line between protecting Israel (because the inertia Israel has in our society, sadly), but also seek a peace deal and publicly advocate for a 2-state-solution, as Harris did. The media landscape was not favorable to Democrats, which is why they had limited cards to play.
And biden/harris fell for it. they looked weak and complicit because they're democrats and that's their brand.
It can be both. And yes bibi did not stop the ceasfire, I believe trump requested not be stopped to let him win
Bibi's got kompromat on him, Epstein may have been Mossad
lol Republicans don't give a shit about anything he's done or could do. They like Trump and there's nothing in this world that could change that.
The girl looked just like Ivanka. It would damage his relationship with his favorite child in an unfixable way.
The child he already repeatedly publicly made extremely creepy comments about?
As evidenced by the other golden boy of the Party dropping that exact bomb, and nobody cared
Obviously. But that's why Trump's doing what he's doing. That's all.
Epstein may have sold (or volunteered) intel both to Mossad and to US three-letter agencies. I don't know if that made him a Mossad agent.
I thought Ghislane was the Mossad contact, wasn't her father actually in Mossad leadership? Epstein was the 'party' boy, gag, and Maxwell was operations?
More accurately, his girlfriend is, he’d probably be consider an asset. An important distinction on whether you protect them when they’re in trouble.
Epstein claimed at least once to be Mossad, and Maxwell's dad apparently was.
Maxwell’s Dad was an interesting guy if you read up on him. The dude had a lot of enemies via his business dealings and him being a literal spy for MI6/Mossad. Some believe Mossad even assassinated him, but I don’t really believe it.
The fact that the shit had just hit the fan regarding Maxwell's looting of his employees' pension plans probably had more to do with his suicide.
Probably to pull the spotlight off them killing a bunch of people in their beds while they were sleeping

Told
He’s trying to get ahead of a mob and call it a parade.
See how his last one went to figure out how this will go.
