The Main Issues
The war is more complicated than it looks. It affects us all. Here are the current main issues.
- Jihadists are an enemy to us all.
- US has designated Hamas as a terrorist group since 1997.
- Israel is the front-line state. It needs a decisive victory.
- Hamas & other jihadists have networks across USA. Some are allied with American liberals.
- The liberals and progressives are divided about their Hamas allies. They can be divided further.
- Biden Administration will help Israel fight but won’t let it win.
- America First means there can be no peaceful coexistence with jihadists.

Qatar is willing to kick Hamas leadership out of the country if Biden asks. But Biden won’t ask. Remarkable.
A profoundly shameful moment at the UN Security Council as the US ambassador stands for a moment of silence to honor the Butcher of Tehran
The U.S. funded, armed and trained Palestinian Authority security forces are supposedly moderate forces geared towards fighting Hamas.
Works out, they are training in sniper fire, artillery, tank warfare, anti-tank weapons etc. in PAKISTAN and singing about destroying Israel.
The Biden Administration denied visas to Jewish Israeli rappers who were traveling to the US for a concert.
Meanwhile every Muslim from every Arab country in the world can come to the US to call for intifada on US soil without any visa repercussions.
That disparity is unlawful.
