America doesn’t have control of anything anymore. Netanyahu, Putin, and Jinping know this. At some the bank of America will close to Israel, once these baby boomers are dead.

America could in a single phone call stop Israel. They don't want to.

If there is a way for America to compel Israel to cease the bombings in a way that wouldn’t destroy their relationship I’d love to hear it.
