In reply to the discussion: Palestinian death toll in Gaza surpasses 25,000 with no end in sight to Israel-Hamas war [View all]Deep State Witch
(10,470 posts)23. Death Spiral
Both the Israelis and the Palestinians are locked into a death spiral. The only way to break it is for the Israeli public to get rid of Netanyahu and put in someone who can end the war and actually TALK to the Palestinians.
This is a perfect example of what a Pagan author calls "Tower Time", like in the Tower card in the Tarot. Sudden, destructive change. All of the old institutions that seemed to be working are being exposed as corrupt and destructive.

The US prefers controlling the supply. The view is that loss of control means increase in price.

That is probably what I saw, but I still believe that much of our foreign policy is geared towards containing Iran.

Because US Policy has supported Israel, financially, and militarily, for nearly 80 years.
