Every Jewish American person I've talked to feels Netanyahu is not doing Jewish American and the Jewish diaspora any favors here by his approach to these wars.
What are your thoughts on why we got into this and how we get out of it?
I mean, the person that decides is the president of the United States.
So foreign leader isn't
getting to call the shots in the United States.
I think very practically speaking, the markets are effectively pricing in that this was a small blip.
For whatever people think, that's just what the best prediction market that we have is telling us.
I think that's important to acknowledge that we're probably in the end game here.
And the second thing to acknowledge is if I was Israel, I would really be concerned
that unless I help find an off-ramp quickly, the risk that Israel loses America as a predictably steadfast ally could go down.
And I think that that's problematic for Israel, far more than it's problematic for the United States.
So all of that kind of tells me that we will find an off-ramp.
A, because I think economically it makes sense.
And then B, geopolitically, I think Israel will want to make sure that this doesn't burn a longstanding relationship.
Yeah, that seems to me to be the major issue here is Americans basically do not want to be in this war.
Americans do not want our forest policy being influenced to the extent they believe.
I'm not putting my belief in here, just Americans believe
we are being dragged into this by Israel, and that Israel has too much, or Netanyahu specifically, has far too much influence.
And then people believe the anti-Semitism that's occurring here.
Josh Shapiro gave me a lot of pushback on this.
