Israeli officials are scrambling to head off mounting frustration in Washington in the run-up a potentially difficult meeting between the top US diplomat and Benjamin Netanyahu by offering a series of policy proposals on Gaza that critics say lack detail or commitment.

The US has offered staunch support to Israel since the outbreak of its war with Hamas three months ago but is anxious to secure some concessions from Netanyahu to lower regional tensions and help avert a wider conflict in the Middle East.

Antony Blinken, the US secretary of state, arrived in Turkey on Friday to begin a week-long Middle East tour. During his upcoming visit to Israel, Blinken is expected to put pressure on Netanyahu to do more to protect civilians in Gaza, allow more aid to reach the territory and rein in outspoken far-right ministers who have called for the mass resettlement of Palestinians – rhetoric that the US has condemned as inflammatory and irresponsible.

Many Americans generally don't care about the Jesus of the Holy Bible, they care about the Jesus they use to justify their hatred of brown or gay people. That Jesus wasn't born in Bethlehem, it was born in Amurica, and it's thriving in that environment.

Then there are the evangelicals who want Jesus descending with a flaming sword as soon as possible for judgment day. Each one would like the apocalypse within their lifetime.
