Flex its muscles
Yonah Jeremy Bob writes (“US finally lost patience,” January 31), that “the US has lost patience with the Islamic Republic and is willing in one way or another to flex its muscles and, according to foreign sources, give more support to Israel to do so.”
The US has lost patience with Iran. It’s about time. But the US has not lost patience with PA head Mahmoud Abbas. The Reuters headline reads: “Blinken reaffirms need for two-state solution after talks with Netanyahu.”
Again?! The Sisyphean cycle is starting again. Somehow democracies never seem to understand totalitarian ideologies in time and the consequences are many – 9/11, Afghanistan, Putin’s invasion of Ukraine and the never-ending jihad against Israel.
It’s time for a new approach, says Robert Spencer in his book The Palestinian Delusion: The Catastrophic History of the Middle East Peace Process.
The problem is that US Secretary of State Antony Blinken will never read it.
