    Israel has an excellent opportunity to make peace and be the economic engine of growth for the region. But the mullahs in Iran, Hamas, and present day Likud are all made for each other

      Yup. Israel desperately needs to hold new elections. If necessary, Gantz should threaten to collapse the coalition government if that’s what it takes. Israel needs sensible leaders like Benny Gantz, Gadi Eisenkot, Yair Lapid, and Gallant who actually understand that while it’s necessary to exterminate Hamas, the only way of ensuring long-term peace and stability in the region is to reach a political solution with a pathway towards Palestinian self-rule.

        I worked with Lapid’s son. Chilliest most down to earth motherfucker. Having said that, I don’t know shit about the progressive players. But my colleagues, under the age of 60, mostly from IDF intelligence, all supported multi state, anti settlements, and didn’t know how tf anyone was going to find a path fwd.
