Meanwhile, Trump has suddenly been playing that good guy cop role very hard over the last few days and pretending like he was actually urging Netenyahu to stop the war in Gaza.

Trump also agreed to back away from the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and allow Putin to retaliate against Ukraine with as much force as they felt necessary in exchange for Russia allegedly keeping Iran in check.

As all this was happening, Trump had a very public Twitter war with Elon Musk, and while everyone was paying attention to that, most people missed that Netenyahu admitted he had been arming the bans of criminals in Gaza with ties to Isis, who have been accused of raiding aid supplies for citizens who are being starved and murdered while trying to reach the official aid checkpoints allowed by Israel.

Also on the same day, the Trump administration sanctioned judges in the ICC who had created an arrest warrant for Netenyahu over war crimes.

Our long term allies in Europe are standing with those ICC judges against the Trump administration, but again, most people in the U.S. are unaware of this bc they were being distracted by the show put on for them by two grown men with way too much money and power.

Meanwhile in the Israeli government, Netenyahu failed to pass a law that would keep his most conservative base from being drafted and subject to the same laws the rest of Israel is subject to. This risked his position of power and led to a vote on Wednesday that would have dissolved his government. It didn't pass, but the vote proved he has lost support due to the way he's leading his country. 24 hours later, once he was reassured his power was safe, he does this and makes comments that he actually had Trump's full support before Trump released any comments or acknowledgements about what he did.

Also sounds like Netenyahu is very much planning to invade Iran, and parroting similar talking points made by Trump earlier this week regarding a different war.

Netanyahu thanks Trump for support; tells Iranians ‘your liberation from tyranny is closer than ever'

Yeah, the Iranian government is tyranny for sure, but calling an Israeli invasion "a liberation from tyranny" requires someone asking the Palestinians how their liberation is going...

Trump and Elon don't need to be smart enough for fucking "5D chess" when this basic ass distraction tactic works so damn well.

It's almost like you don't need to be distracted and can read about 2 major events within a 24 hour time period
