The US has pretty much always supported Israel NR
Israel has today bombed press offices containing al Jazeera, associated press, the BBC, among others. They also bombed a refugee camp, killing at least 8 kids. Let's not sidetrack this thread into talk of the "Jewish lobby". Most Jews have nothing to do with the war crimes being committed by Israel.
Yep, sent some money to 'Friends of Palestine' a peace organisation only yesterday.
It's called a scam Syd.

It seems stupidly counterproductive as far as being popular or gaining any sympathy for Israel goes.The repercussions could go on for some time as well.
Netanyahu is looking for someway to distract from the corruption charges and to boost his chances of forming a government, what better way?A bit disappointed in Biden very slow off the mark to call for a ceasefire.

They'll always have the backing of the UK and USA no matter what they do. The IDF bombed roads leading to Gaza's hospitals - a clear war crime, but they still have the support of the west. And it helps Netanyahu fire up his base too - he's known to be a crook which stops him getting an outright majority, which is why the Israeli govt keeps collapsing. Killing a few Arabs always helps boost his poll numbers at a time when he desperately needs it.
