I'll thank Sarah not to claim that Israel is "murdering" civilians in Gaza.

You can claim that Israel has interpreted the "proportionality" required by international law too loosely if you want, but "murdering" sounds suspiciously close to an accusation of "genocide." Does Sarah really believe the IDF has decided to target civilians *qua* civilians - perhaps as a "hobby" as the leftist politician Yair Golan recently blurted out before lamely walking it back?

It was also silly of JVL to claim that Trump of all people has tied himself to Bibi Netanyahu's apron strings. The same Trump who cut a separate peace with the Houthis, hanging Israel out to dry? Who launched direct talks with both Hamas and Iran, again disregarding Israeli wishes?

I guarantee that if things go south after yesterday's operation, Trump will jump off the Bibi train so fast the whole episode will disappear into collective amnesia. I'm just shaking my head that any Israelis have suddenly deluded themselves into imagining the same Trump - whose very unreliability convinced Bibi finally to pull the trigger last week - is their BFF.

But everyone also pays Trump. What pound of flesh will he expect from Bibi?
