"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. "

    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?

    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.

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

      Based on my frequent listening to behind the bastards, I’d say chances of that are low. Best we can probably hope for is really painful illness leading to a slow death.

          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.

            The comparison would be the Nazi who sold all the gas to Nazis (US gets Army toy hacking software from Israel. They have supposedly the best spyware on sale, and US secures good deals by supporting Isreal.

            Well, at least that is how I interpret the situation.

          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?

        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.

      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”.

        Just voting for a president is no direct democracy, especially in a system designed like the US political system.

      The Democrats also had no plan for Gaza other than supporting Israel’s perpetual war

        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.
