    It’s absurd. Biden’s position is shit, but at least he’s slightly critical of Netenyahu. Trump is quite clearly worse than Biden.

    I mean, Trump’s position on West Bank settlements is that they’re perfectly legal. That what amounts ethnic cleansing in the West Bank is perfectly legal. Biden reversed that, restoring the longstanding policy that it is in fact illegal for Israeli settlers to (violently) chase Palestinians off their land.

    I honestly wonder if these people actually give a shit about the Palestinians, or want them to become martyrs for the cause because it’s more politically expedient. If deep down they wouldn’t rather the Israelis kill as many Palestinians as possible, because they think it’ll help them ‘win the argument’.

    Disgusting.

      Does it matter if he critisize Israel or not and declare illegal sentelment illegal when there is zero repercusion on Israel. The US is keeping helping Israel with arms and money. So there is zero difference between Biden and Trump when it comes to helping Palestine

        So you’d prefer wholehearted support for Israel instead?

          Biden is just hypocrite. Doing nothing concrete to stop Israel crimes is a wholehearted support to it.

              Did you read what I said? Both Trump and Biden are equally terrible when it comes to Palestine

                Not even remotely close. If you think Trump would not start a religious war to stay in power - that is kill the Muslims, then you have no idea how power hungry narcissists work.

                Except history has time and again given us every example of how they work and think.

                They get power by pandering to their base (the Christian right) and killing the supposed enemy of that group - in this case a whole of Muslims and Jews and anyone else.

                So yeah you think this is genocide? Oh boy if the president of the US was for genocide the world would be a slaughterhouse.

          Wholehearted meaning exactly what? What could Trump have done to handle the situation worse?

            Everything! Offer to nuke “the Muslims”. Start a larger war with the A-rabs

            Then pander to his base and start a real religious war in the middle east so he can be a war time president for the Christian right.

            Destroy the NATO coalition.

            Enable Russian expansion in all unstable areas.

            Fuck everyone and everything. Literally and figuratively.

              He could pander to his base with all of this, but he can’t really do any of it (except the NATO and Russia parts but those have nothing to do with Palestine). That’s what I was talking about; Trump would be spouting genocidal rhetoric but there’s very little he can actually do that Biden hasn’t already.

                You think the President of the United States cannot start a war?

                With a rabid Congress and Supreme Court to back him up? The speaker is right wing Christian supremecist. This would sell so fast that it’ll make your head spin.
