Benjamin Netanyahu has said he has given orders to the Israeli army to seize control of 70% of the Gaza Strip in a move that threatens to torpedo an already fragile ceasefire and create catastrophic humanitarian conditions in the already devastated territory.

In recent days, Israeli-backed armed militias have taken a leading role in emptying the territory along the ceasefire line, telling residents to vacate their homes or shelters.

Throughout the eight months of the ceasefire, Israeli forces have continued to open fire on Palestinians within range of the “yellow line” splitting the strip, and carry out airstrikes deeper inside western Gaza, killing more than 900 Palestinians since the truce began.

In their chart, it’s pretty clear that the death rate in Gaza went up just as Trump took control

What a stupid angle. The mortality from the start of the genocide to the last day of Biden in office is higher than during Trump in the same time frame. So Biden was slightly than Trump

His rhetoric at the time was very pro-Isreal and encouraging them to eradicate the Palestinians, put up casinos, and all that.

There is no big difference between trump talking about ethnically cleansing Palestinians from the land then Israel allow trump's casino and Biden lying about seeking a cease fire and allow israel to ethnically cleansing all Palestinians so israel build settlements again

then the pseudo peace agreement brokered by the U.S. started. So credit where it’s due

I don't give credit to a half baked cease fire when Trump could end the genocide completely, same as Biden. See, I am harsher on Trump than you based on facts

And the U.S. has now allowed Israel to attack Lebanon.

You seem to have a memory of a fly? Because Biden did allow Israel to attack Lebanon

But all Presidents have tried to make peace deals in Israel/Gaza

Not a single one tried to make a real peace deal . Not a single one advocated for a Palestinian states will all it's right and threats if Israel refuses to slowly dismantle settlements.

And of course Biden might have done the same, it’s not totally off script, although a Biden or Harris admin probably wouldn’t have fucked up the closing of the straight so badly

You should be happy not sad that Iran has control of the straight because otherwise Iran would have no leverage and Israel/USA may have succeeded to create another failed state. Giving the money to Israel to bomb Iran or the USA bombing itself Iran is equally bad.

But the point is that it’s still as clear as anything that Trump was worse for the people of Gaza than Harris would have been.

All evidence show the opposed as I already shows in this post

And the steadfast refusal to accept that and vote accordingly is what what got Trump elected, and what will get maga elected again

Biden withdrawing too late and Harris because one of the dumbest politician I ever seen who couldn't convice she would be better for the economy and border security along with the shitty two party system make Trump wins

So that's the point. Harris easily made the case that she was better for security and the economy. And she was quite clearly better on ME politics too despite your mental gymnastics trying to make yourself believe otherwise. But she wasn't good enough for too many leftist morons in the U.S. and so we got maga/trump. It seems like you're happy with Trump winning, so good on you I guess.
