Imagine Trump Secretary of State Mike Pompeo ever saying something like this. You can’t.

Which is why Trump would be worse for the people of Palestine.

Trump would not only allow the total destruction of Gaza and Palestine, but he’d even build a golf course directly on the strip

Gaza is gone lol, much like abortion rights, all while Biden says you’re an idiot for not voting for him.

Factually incorrect and an erasure of the experience of the millions of Palestinians continuing to eke out a living in the concentration camp/warzone hybrid that the IDF have made Gaza into. You’re making it too obvious that you are arguing in bad faith and just want to attack Biden regardless of the facts. Not to mention bringing up abortion rights as if it is believable that Biden is responsible for a republican supermajority in the S.C. and the solution is to enable more republican control over the government

Yawn. Got anything else?

Your argument supposed we should just accept this out of the Biden administration because “Trump would be worse”…

You get that the argument you are making isn’t good enough, don’t you? There won’t be a Palestine in November. It’s irrelevant what or how Trump would be when Biden is as bad as it needs to be for the total destruction of the Palestinian people right now. Not at some future date, but right now.

Biden apologists for the US position on Israel and Palestinian are sustaining this genocide.

So you are good with the genocide of the Palestinian people as long as it’s in a Democrats watch. Just want to make sure I’ve got you right.

We should stop selling him weapons and having his back at the UN.

Realistically we should stop funding them in general. But it’s become a great way for congressmen to get an unofficial pay bump. They vote to send money etc to Israel. Then Israel uses that money to “lobby” them.

China and Russia are trying to gain favor just in case the US stops supporting Israel.

What the FUCK

There’s a lot of useful nuance in that Guardian article; it’s not exactly that simple

But also:

The Israeli prime minister said … “I told him that I hope we would do [Rafah] with US support but if necessary – we will do it alone.”

Promise? Because that sounds like a good step.

The US upholding its nominal commitment to international justice and hauling the appropriate leaders to The Hague sounds better, but Israel doing it alone if atrocity is this big a core value for them sounds like, at least, a step in the right direction.

Where is the Arab League to step up and help form a technocratic government? The strip will be demilitarized, the Israelis can’t be the ones doing that security though so where is Saudi or UAE et al helping out their brothers?

The Israelis have to agree to a 2 state solution. Pretty sure that Saudi, Egypt, Jordan and the US have this plan worked out.

Bibi needs to go. Israelis want a two state, the bigoted assholes running the place are the problem. The issue was worked out before he had his grip, it’s a shame it couldn’t have been met with openness by the Arabs at that time. Timing is everything, getting these groups synched is nearly impossible.
