For this idiotic war, we switched sides in the war on terror,

To a large extent, the Neocon's "war on terror" was really a "war to make the mideast safe for Israel."

"make the mideast safe for Israel"

I remember a radio host, when a wacky antisemite would call and say some similar thing, the radio host would let the wacko talk, just a little, and the host would then whisper..."it's theJewwwwwws", mocking the wacko, and letting everyone know another antisemite had gotten past the call screener.

I remember President Trump bypassing the PLO and making treaties with and between some of Israel's neighbors. The Jew-haters tried to state that no peace was possible until a Palestinian State was recognized and established. Since many of these same countries still do not recognize Israel's right to exist, they could care less about peace.
