WHY must every president in modern memory feel compelled to involve himself and by extension the United States in the matter of Israel and the Palestinians?
This is Israel's local issue, just as illegals from Mexico is our own issue that doesn't merit meddling from any other country.
So why do we meddle with Israel's?
I have all the faith in the world that Israel can manage its affairs, including this one. They are perhaps THE best prepared and competent nation in the world at addressing this kind off issue. American involvement is not needed.
So what is our skin in the game supposed to be? What's our angle? Did we ever have one? And why would Trump repeat this pattern of failure?
Because the Mossad and CIA control the puppets in Wash DC. or kill them. They are the Deep States jackboots.
One would think, given your ability to state the problem, that you would be smart enough to look a little deeper instead of concluding “a pattern of failure” is an answer.
Good question. There are regional implications which could impact US security, but since the end of the cold war not overly significant. With the exception of GWB and Reagan, both of whom also interfered, I think post Nixon Presidents thought they were helping the persecuted from a situation was largely Israel's fault.
Simple.
Replace the characters with the actors.

Look backward to see the future. Who is: Jacob? Ismael? Esau?
And the $64,000 question: Why is Esau aligned with Ismael against Jacob?
And the bonus question: Where is all this prophesied?
The US was dragged into this as one of the results of the Cold War with the Soviet Union. Since 1989, it’s mostly out of habit. For war mongers like McCain, it’s just defense industry profits.
