Sadly, we're going to see Israel unchained under Trump. The Biden administration would have been on the phone first thing, pressuring them to ease up. The Trump administration will be on the phone taking orders for missiles.
This is a complex situation and there's plenty of fault to pass around to all the major geopolitical players involved, but Trump is going to simplify this into "Israel good" "Palestine die."
Tue Biden administranion went onto the phone after each Israeli massacre, reassuring them that they have the full suppprt of the US, but that they need to pretend a bit otherwise, so the public outrage in the US isnt too bad.
The Biden administration, and pretty much every US administration's stance on the Israel-Palestine issue leaves a lot to be desired. But Trump is absolutely going to drop the bar and lots of Palestinians are going to pay the price for that.
As bad as things were under Biden, that administration always wanted to avoid high body counts. The Trump administration will look at high body counts and then attaboy Bibi.
Roughly 50,000 Gazans died during the last phase of the war. That is an absolute tragedy, but the Trump administration could see that number grow by multiples and they'll probably view it as a good thing.
We traded a wolf for a rabid lion and that is going to have consequences.
The bar was already dropped, stop pretending a murderer is better than the other.
Nah, it's a situation where if forced to choose between 5 people dying and 25 people dying, I'll go with 5. Obviously, I would rather no one die, but that's not one of the choices.
And in this case, Americans literally did choose, electing a man who will not flinch at greatly increased deaths.
You don't live in a trolly meme but in a democratic country you have plenty of choices.
I don't know how these people came to truly believe that they can not influence any policy.
And I don't know how you came to this conclusion, because it certainly wasn't with anything I wrote. Try again.
It's a quite simple observation that even when you dictate the terms of your own example, you have genocide as a given. That you fail to see it is nothing but expected.
So you actually have nothing to say or any point to make then?
Sorry, try again, but only if you're serious. Otherwise, silence is the best gift you can give.
We had two: Kamala Harris or Donald Trump.
This is a fact as plain as the world is round. What are you even trying to do?
We had two: Kamala Harris or Donald Trump.
No you had more but you are ignoring them. Also you could have do everything that people are doing right now under trump.
We all know about biden and his worthless "red lines" https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/rafah-icj-israel-biden-gaza-b2551179.html
pressuring them to ease up.
Sure did Palestine a lot of good with that pressure.
More seriously, Biden never seriously pressured Israel to do (or not do) anything; it's always been pretty please with that genocidal fart, and pretty please never worked with Israel.
