This steep price comes to us courtesy of US pressure on Israel. We are depending less on aerial bombardment and getting more of our men killed to prevent Palestinians from dying.
America is pressuring Israel due to domestic politics. Biden’s support among his base is dwindling. This is his handlers’ strategy to energize his base.
Who is his base? Arabs in Michigan. Extreme leftist progressives in blue cities.
That’s who the Democratic machine is prioritizing over us.
@itchik — I agree with you about this being the result of US pressure, and I think it is at least in part a result of pressure for the leftist base of the Democratic party.
I think one solution (besides tefillah, tzedeka and teshuva) is to put counter-pressure. In particular, find sympathetic Jewish Democrats to put counter pressure on Biden. They have a lot of leverage (they donate to the Democratic party, fund-raise for it, organize, lend expertise, vote for it, etc). Let them use that leverage.
