#1 An the risk of being accused of cynicism, I'd say Bibi's not sure Trump is going to be reelected. Or, maybe, I'm just projecting.

#2 we weren't so sure Bibi would be reelected either, g(r)om.

#3 So now seems very timely.

#4 #3 On the contrary. If Trump reelected*, we can annex - after 2000 years, what are a few months?
But if we annex and Biden's choice for vice (which would be a black women D - you know how they like Israel) is the boss, she could use it to either force Israel into humiliating retraction, or use it to break special relations.

*Bibi is the son of one of Israel's most prominent historians (and the only one not left-wing) and historically literate himself (one of the reasons he's so successful, IMO). He knows what usually happens when a country is hit with plague - no matter the facts, the leader at the time gets blamed and replaced.
**Incidentally, now that I think about it, this could explain some conservatives' irrational reaction to Covid 19. They are, subconsciously, aware of the above political rule and cope by denying pandemic's very existence.

#5 Not denying, just not rolling around in it like a dog with a skunk's corpse, like some, you know?

#6 #5 No. I don't know Frank. To me neither the frenzied repetition of long disproved covid-"facts" - probably, originally, spread by China, nor the ad hominem argument - reminiscent of the debating style of the left; make any sense. Finally, your proud refusal to adopt minimal anti-viral precautions (for the sake of other people if not yourself) remind me of shrine-licking Shiites.

#9 But if we annex and Biden's choice for vice (which would be a black women D - you know how they like Israel) is the boss, she could use it to either force Israel into humiliating retraction, or use it to break special relations.

Or Israel could act like a self-determining state without a bully big brother.
