(https://x.com/Mark_Penn)We are witnessing a complete failure of both American diplomacy and deterrence in the Mideast.
The Houthis just launched a hypersonic missile against Tel Aviv.
Hamas, emboldened by US waffling, refused to accept any US deals. Hezbollah refused to stop sending what is now 100 rockets a day from Lebanon.
And Israel is left to fight a three front war directed by an oil-enriched Iran.
These policies are a complete failure on all fronts because they rely on compromise with terror instead of defeating it and so terror advances rather than retreats.” In the aggregate which party sucks less? For some voters it isn’t that simple. 🙏

That problem is Israel's to deal with. I support Israel's right to exist, but they've got to stop being jerks about it.

The first step in a solution is probably for the Israeli people to vote Netanyahu out of office. Get someone who is willing to negotiate for peace instead of provoke war. I realize the other side is not currently in much of a negotiating mood, but you don't have to be constantly provoking them to war.
