15. "Or something."

It's "the height of naivety" to assume that Israel is pulling all the strings. Trump and his donors - which include many more than Israel - do evil stupid things all day.

Israel and Trump did this together but instead of blaming Trump (and everyone who voted for him) this OP puts all the blame on Israel.

Seems foolish to me. And unlike you I see nothing to "lol...lol" about in this situation.
