"We all will have to provide answers to what happened on Oct. 7, myself included — but only after the war," said Netanyahu.

So he wants more time for war crimes before anyone charges him with war crimes. And he's referencing biblical prophecy and all but calling it a holy war. The man has lost his mind clearly.

I don't understand responses like this.

Them are holy grounds on which israel and palestine stand, for all 3 abrahamic religions. Every one of them has a prophecy for the end of times which great powers that be will try and manifest into reality.

As long as religions exist, and as long as they have followers this orthodox in their "interpretation", that area will remain in turmoil.

How this basic and all encompassing fact is not front and center in every discussion on this situation boggles my mind.

Because it has become a faux pas to criticize religion. Religion is something personal and if you criticize it you are offending people personally, and that is forbidden by our recently new social norms.

If Jerusalem were glass, those religions would struggle with their prophecies.

I am not proposing violence, I am, however, saying there are other ways it ends and nukes are proliferating over there. Missile guidance is so-so.
