Have you ever been in a car with even one other person and tried to use a voice command for anything? Have you ever been in a room where you wanted to use a voice command on your phone, but there were other people in the room? Does it work? Never. If you are obviously doing a voice command t…

e if Netanyahu had been allowed to just take it to the ultimate conclusion which would have taken a few years but 100 years from now, as I say, if Netanyahu had turned the entire West Bank and Gaza into Israel and it just was one big country, if he had pulled that off in the short run, of course, he would just be called a war criminal and whatever is the worst criticisms you can come up with, genocidal maniac in the short run. But if you waited a hundred years, it would be a big statue to him and he would be the greatest Israeli who ever lived because he created the greater Israel. So he was you. Now, of course, I can't read his mind, but it's obvious that he didn't want a two-state solution, and it's obvious that if he'd had his way for a few more years, probably could have gotten just about anything he wanted. But Trump stood in. And Trump took the credit for ending the war. He took the credit, but he also ended the killing, most of it. You know, still a little bit going on, but he ended most of it. So I don't disagree with Trump putting a big old Trump boot on that whole situation because that's America first. It's not America first to have a one-state solution. It's probably America first to have something that's neither one nor two which is where we are now. So here's my prediction. Netanyahu will stall as long as he can and Trump leaves office, if he leaves office after this term, assuming he does, that Gaza will look pretty much the way it looks now and that there will be no hurry to clean it up or make it more habitable because Netanyahu might want to just wait for Trump to be out of office and then see if he's got a little more flexibility if that happens. That's what I'd do if I were Netanyahu. I would pretend I was on board and I would be tapping Trump along and not doing any cleanup. And that's why I would say that it's not done. It's like, well, that cleanup, if only you would give us a billion dollars for the cleanup, we'd start right away. And we'd be like, why are we paying? And then there would be an argument over the funding. And then Netanyahu can say, no, we want to clean it up as fast as possible. We just don't have the funds. So if one of you wants to give us a billion dollars, we'll be all over that. We'll get that cleaned up right away. So there's probably a hundred ways that you can stall and make it look legitimate. Well, we still got a pocket of resistance there. Well, we still got to do some toxic cleanup. Well, we still got to get a security situation that we could be happy with. Yeah. Do not expect Gaza to turn into a gleaming city full of Gazans returning.
