Middle East Mess

Israel might be President Biden's Achilles heel.

The heavy-handed removal of Palestinian families in East Jerusalem and the police raid on the al-Aqsa mosque has started what amounts to a war between two peoples and between a country and territories it currently "occupies."  And while President Biden tiptoes to reach some sort of cease-fire to bring the violence to an end even as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu milks the crisis for all it's worth, Democrats grow increasingly hostile to Israeli air attacks on the Gaza Strip.  Meanwhile, Republicans are hoping to galvanize support for them by standing in solidarity for Israel against Hamas rocket attacks.  

This isn't just a foreign-policy problem.  This is a battle in which civilization is at stake.  And President Biden can't make a wrong move without thinking it could cause greater trouble in the region.

This is a time bomb that could detonate into an explosion of biblical proportions.
