The elections in the last couple decades in the US have been getting tighter, probably reflecting the divisiveness here. I think that's why we get Kamala Harris saying we will never let you down Israel but in the next sentence saying she supports the Palestinians --the voting is so close she needs to pander to the far left, all of which makes the US unable to deliver decisive policy. I don't know why the US would support another Islamic terrorist state in the region or why Israel is subject to so much scrutiny as an amazing thriving democracy we should be wholeheartedly embracing.

Agreed. The violence we witness is to a large extent the result of indecisiveness and poor foreign policy development in Washington and other (western) capitals.

And in response to the western ambiguity, Israel is charting its own path more and more. Which could turn out to be a net positive for the region and especially for lasting peace in the region. But that means a lot more fighting in the short run.
