"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. "

I thought Trump announced a plan of genocide to allow for his fantasy of bearded belly-dancers per the video he posted.

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 21 hours ago

Wasn't even a stunt. It was just callous, demented, and sick.

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 hours ago

"Biden would never do that! He's my parasocial friend!"

[–] [email protected] 15 points 15 hours ago

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.

One is definitely more guilty than the other.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 hours ago

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.

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?

[–] [email protected] -2 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

One was definitely much worse than the other.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

The one that hands the guns is as guilty as the one that triggers it.

You're splitting hairs about genociders
