"Trump has given tacit approval to Israeli actions since the ceasefire came into effect on January 19. More than 90 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza by Israeli attacks. Israel has also violated the ceasefire by obstructing the delivery of heavy machinery to start clearing away rubble; preventing the delivery of mobile homes and tents to temporarily shelter the people of Gaza, especially in the almost totally destroyed north; delaying the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners; and now by refusing to leave the Philadelphi Corridor.
All of this has taken place without comment from Washington. Trump has gotten what he most wanted in the short term, a ceasefire and more hostages freed. He may well see all the remaining Israeli hostages returned home, and that will be his victory. "
“The man who ends wars” 🤦🏻how can anyone believe a word coming out of this disgusting mouth?
If it was up to the Israeli government they would be flattening Gaza twice over again. But something is still holding them back. Possibly the Arab league pressuring Trump with that sweet oil money?
As much as israel postures as a tiger, they don’t have the firepower to do that.
So the usual plan, then.
I thought Trump announced a plan of genocide to allow for his fantasy of bearded belly-dancers per the video he posted.
So they inherited democrat policy on the issue.
What happened to Trump Gaza? Just another stunt I see. Sick of this reality TV show. I want boring politics and to help my fellow countrymen.
Removed by mod
Wasn’t even a stunt. It was just callous, demented, and sick.
I hope Netanyahu has to answer to his actions in the near future.
Based on my frequent listening to behind the bastards, I’d say chances of that are low. Best we can probably hope for is really painful illness leading to a slow death.
if biden doesnt have to, then neither will netanyahu.
One is definitely more guilty than the other.
In the sense that the Nazi in charge of operating the gas chamber was more guilty than the Nazi who refills the gas between use, I suppose.
The comparison would be the Nazi who sold all the gas to Nazis (US gets Army toy hacking software from Israel. They have supposedly the best spyware on sale, and US secures good deals by supporting Isreal.
Well, at least that is how I interpret the situation.
one successfully fooled western world via duplicity while the other was candid the entire time, i’m not so sure if one was worse that the other; but does it matter since neither will answer for their actions?
One was definitely much worse than the other.
The one that hands the guns is as guilty as the one that triggers it.
You’re splitting hairs about genociders
No I’m not.
You literally are
Do you actually think Biden wanted to support this evil? Unfortunately, having a western friendly base in the Middle East takes priority over values and pride. Israel got an answer to, how far can they go?’ and it’s all the way.
“If Israel didn’t exist, we would have to create it.” -guess whom
You gotta be kidding me 😂
Master class in genocide apology: Biden didn’t want do it, aside from the reasons that he did.
“Biden would never do that! He’s my parasocial friend!”
Of course lifelong Zionist Joe Biden wanted to support it. There was no reason for him to not use his leverage if he did not. Plenty of other American presidents have stopped Israel in the past when they went full genocide mode.
He will absolutely get luigi’d
I thought so about trump 6 years ago…
well someone tried

Are you upset this is a Coca Cola flavored genocide, not a Pepsi flavored genocide?
Are you working towards passing electoral reform in your state? You should if you support democracy. Because democracy is not “vote for my preference or else”.
Videos on Electoral Reform
First Past The Post voting (What most states use now)
Videos on alternative electoral systems we can try out.
Just voting for a president is no direct democracy, especially in a system designed like the US political system.
The Democrats also had no plan for Gaza other than supporting Israel’s perpetual war
But they did not tell to end the war only to let it continue, iirc
to be fair, it’d be fucked up if they did have a plan: it’s not their country, and they kept saying “2 state solution”, so their plan was to sit down with israel and palestinians and hammer out a mutually agreeable situation… anything more would just be making choices without consulting palestinians and that never works out for anyone
I mean, they were never actually serious about a two state solution, they never seriously planned to to “sit down with israel and palestinians and hammer out a mutually agreeable situation.” If you look at their actual actions it’s clear they have the exact same plan as the Trump admin.
they’re controlled opposition. they never learn sadly, but at least there was a ceasefire and some aid got in
