(2,293 posts)And if you aren't willing to work with conmen and criminals, how do you negotiate with Netanyahu or Hamas who are both?
And while we're sitting here waiting around for some theoretical plan you would prefer, how many people in Gaza die in the meantime and how much does that grow the sort of anger that fuels Hamas and other terrorist organizations?
Nobody including Secretary Clinton thinks this is ideal, but regardless the fact is Trump is president, the world has largely deferred to US leadership on these sorts of problems, and it's hard to grow that skill on the fly, we have the strongest relationship with Israel which gives us relative leverage with Israel that nobody else does. Doesn't matter that all of those things suck, what matters is they are.
