I am convinced that US politicians are scared of Israel. For what reason, I don't know why. I hope you can explain.

Evidence:

a) 15-Jan-25: Trump/Witkoff forced Netanyahu to accept ceasefire deal:

b) 5-Feb-25: Netanyahu is unhappy with the peace in Gaza, visits Trump in the White House. Then after meeting Netanyahu, Trump for the first time, comes up with the "Gazans displacement plan, and developing the Riveria there":

Just watch Trump's speech there, it's like he is the puppet and Netanyahu is the puppet master.

Netanyahu is happy with Trump's plan of evicting Gazans, calling it a bold plan.

c) 17-Feb-25: Witkoff says there will be a phase 2 of the ceasefire (and eventual end to the war),

going against the wishes of Netanyahu who wanted to extend phase 1 of the ceasefire to get all the hostages out, without entering phase 2 (which is what Hamas wanted):

d) 23-Feb-25: Witkoff says the US wants to extend phase 1 of the ceasefire:

e) Trump bypasses Israel, holds direct talks with Hamas, angering Israel:

f) 09-Mar-25: US hostage negotiator Adam Boehler says "US is not an agent of Israel. It has its own interests":

g) 13-Mar-25: Adam Boehler removed from his position of hostage negotiations:

And after Hamas's rejection of extending phase 1, and on its insistence to follow the original ceasefire agreement of entering phase 2; the Israelis ended the ceasefire and started the war in Gaza again. They also said they informed and gave notice to the US that they were restarting the war.

One word: AIPAC

My partners theory is that epstein was a mossad asset. He cited some series of visits of one to the other at some point or other right before all this silliness began but I've forgotten now.

And who’s to say Epstein is the only agent that compromised wide swaths of our elite with evidence of them all diddling kids. He’s just the one we know about.

I've wondered how many of them are kiddie diddlers on their own. There's little difference in the end but I'm wondering if very few of them have the intrinsic inclination. I wonder if maybe when you get high enough politically or economically if somebody invites you to a party and they've got a kid and a camera and they tell you that you either give them the evidence they need to trust you as one of their assets or your career is over right there and then before you're too powerful to do anything about it. And a bunch of them probably tell themselves its just one kid and they're going to go on to help so many other people... and the world keeps turning as it did.

I believe lots of what you witness as illogical and harmful in society comes from social proof and the implications of breaking with the ingroup especially as people age and have built their life on lies that would outcast them to go against.

As people get older and have defended the bad stances they grow more threatened and hostile to any percieved challenges that threaten to erase both who they are and their community.
