And the beat goes on ......

The "great divide" you speak to is certainly more real today than ever. I'd like to blame Trump or Obama or anyone else for this issue. But I think the way people gather information is the main culprit for the anger and the angst. Between social media memes and posts and bias cable news networks, it's difficult to decipher the truth in "real time". For many who study the news by glancing at Facebook or Twitter are really doing themselves a disservice.

There are people on plop who think others care what they say about them.
That's hilarious.
I have 2 people on ignore, not because I care what they say about me, but because I think one is a simpleton and the other is a total degenerate.   I could care less what they have to say and I know there's not a hope in hell of changing their minds on any issue. 
Having said that, I'm sure they feel the same way.

100% CORRECT! 

However, 'REAL MEN" don't hide behind "IGGY"!

At least I'll stand up to people!  You don't like when people "double down" on you!  100% FACT!

If Israel / Lebanon and US / Israel / Iran reach agreements, it will be a historical time in The Middle East and the great divide at home will narrow !!!

If the USA and Israel would have left the Middle East alone, you wouldn’t be claiming a historical moment!

The great divide won’t go away at home because of the issues that have occurred are too severe to go away!

Nice try though!

Israel / Lebanon have agreed to a ceasefire and the Strait of Hormuz is open.        Great news!!

Stock market is loving it.

There is very little surprise that the markets would respond big time once the Strait Of Hormuz was opened. It's all about the money. My family in Haifa are thrilled with the 10 day truce. But despite that, it is Joseph Aoun's legitimate government that must find a way to deal with Hezbollah. Or Israel will deal with them their way. I'm hoping Netanyahu can make a deal with Aoun that would "defang" Hezbollah. I despise war. I know that at times it has to happen. But news is positive on all fronts there as of now. So we can be thankful for that.
