    Tin foil hat warning, but it is starting to feel like Israel knows it’s losing US support for the genocide, so is looking to broaden the conflict to force the US to relock arms with them.

    Ps. Why doesn’t this source mention that Israel is responsible for this strike, it’s reported all over the place I didn’t even think it was a question. The JP treats it like some rogue weather event that came out of nowhere.

      That’s kinda my read on it too.

      Re: “why are they softballing the fact that Israel did the thing”: uh… it’s jpost. How is that surprising? It’s like expecting RT to give an accurate report on Russian missile strikes in Ukraine.
