"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. "
This has little to do with the Trump administration, as if that’s a factor.
Unconditional support for the genociders Together with giving money to the military complex, banks, rich people and warmongering. Those are the eternal bipartisan pillars that can never be touched.
All you get to decide is which side executes it.AIPAC bought politicians of both major parties. Liberals support Israel because of “Western civilization, democracy and liberalism” and conservatives support it because of “Judeo-Christian values, Jesus second coming and Armageddon”.

$4,229,598 that’s how much Biden got from Pro-Israel lobbies and he delivered by flattening Gaza and making sure it is nearly uninhabitable. Liberals just show how unserious they are with comments like this.
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.
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.
I hope Netanyahu has to answer to his actions in the near future.
if biden doesnt have to, then neither will netanyahu.
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.
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.
“Biden would never do that! He’s my parasocial friend!”
One is definitely more guilty than the other.
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.
You’re splitting hairs about genociders
No I’m not.
You literally are
So the usual plan, then.
The status quo, indeed.
