You're right, of course.

But...

President Trump on the phone with the G7 leaders said that the war was going to be over within days and that the Iranians were about to surrender unconditionally.

And when Trump himself is telling the American people that this is going to be easy, it's going to be over, there's going to be no cost, don't worry about it.

The president is driving the messaging of we don't need to be patient.

We don't need to because this war is going to be easy and it's going to be out when it be done.

And he failed.

He utterly failed because he thought it was going to be that easy.

So that's why there's no patience.

It's not because the American people can't handle it for the right reasons, war for the right reasons.

American people can fight for the right reasons.

But but this is the president is not has not been communicating with his people truthfully or trustfully.

And therefore, he has lost a lot of the American people on this and on other issues.

So that's that's a point.

I agree.

There's no question that the level of Gulf alignment with the United States and Israel militarily and on intelligence and fighting Iran has become of necessity, but has become higher.

That is, of course, very different with the way the Gulf states feel about what's happening in the West Bank right now, but the way the Gulf states feel about what's happening on the ground in Lebanon right now.

And those things are going to be problematic for Israel, in my view.

And I also think that there's going to be big consequences for the Israelis long term globally.

We've already seen how much anti-Semitism was picking up before this war.
