I understand the image you are painting and it's real.We've been to Israel twice. It is like an armed camp. Guess it has to be when surrounded by 250mm enemies.
He's also senile, not the smartest, a narcissist and has little government experience, aside from the 4 year dysfunctional freak show of his presidency.He's a loudmouth and more arrogant than most (or all) politicians. I just think arrogance goes with the territory.
My understanding is that Hamas runs Gaza as an armed ideological dictatorship and suppresses opposition ruthlessly.I understand the image you are painting and it's real.
However, I think most of those 250 mm Muslims go about their business with little regard for Israel. The problem for a long time has been governments financing unemployable young men to carry out violence against Israel.
No offense to Canada, but I never met a person who entered their family's legacy business who didn't believe they had some special talents conferred at birth. In the business of politics, the trick is to make it look like you don't believe that.Well, at least I cannot disagree entirely with you on this post except that I don't believe arrogance comes with the territory and yes, there has been some arrogant POTUS but not all.
This is where the nasty business of negotiating cash for hostages could become problematic. Some might object to this statement as criticism of the Biden Administration, but it's simply the general nature of hostage negotiations...........damned if you do, damned if you don't.
I wonder who thought of this statement for him?

I will pray for their safe return home.
I think most business people here would admit that money is fungible.
I didn't mention this because it has to be the case.Does Israel have a "no negotiations" policy?
I'm guessing it does. Otherwise, hostage fees would eat up a chunk of the Israeli state budget.
