Netanyahu pushed for war in Iraq claiming Saddam Hussein was pursuing nuclear weapons and many bought the lie including the NY Times, and pushed the lie as well. Biden was most helpful in this regard as well. As chair of the foreign relations comm he pushed war with Iraq down the throats of his fellow democrats. Other countries were on Netanyahu's hit list and named in his 1995 book Fighting Terrorism. We adopted his hit list including bringing down Assad in Syria, well Obama tried, in Operation Timber Sycamore, but failed, however he did turn that country into one that was devastated by poverty. We did follow through on Netanyahu's list and every country he named we went on the attack. So what countries did Israel hit in the last few years, "Since October 7, Israel has conducted more than 17,000 attacks in five countries, including the occupied Palestinian territory, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Iran, according to data from the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project." When Netanyahu won in 2022 he made it pretty clear the West Bank was going to be part of Israel, and not just the already existing settlements that resided in 60% of the West Bank. During this 21st century Israel has really cleared the playing ground and gotten the US to be complicit in it, so why would a genocide in Gaza be a surprise to anyone, since they would only need an excuse to implement it. I do think they provided themselves with one.
