Benjamin Netanyahu has said he has given orders to the Israeli army to seize control of 70% of the Gaza Strip in a move that threatens to torpedo an already fragile ceasefire and create catastrophic humanitarian conditions in the already devastated territory.

In recent days, Israeli-backed armed militias have taken a leading role in emptying the territory along the ceasefire line, telling residents to vacate their homes or shelters.

Throughout the eight months of the ceasefire, Israeli forces have continued to open fire on Palestinians within range of the “yellow line” splitting the strip, and carry out airstrikes deeper inside western Gaza, killing more than 900 Palestinians since the truce began.

    Biden did not push back. It is a fact. He bypassed the congres twice to give aid to Israel. He allowed Israel to add new conditions in cease fire term then blame the failure of reaching a deal on Hamas. Trump did bypass the congress too but becuse you are a dumb democratc cultist you will act i never condemned Trump. Both trump and biden could have secured a real cease fire but decided not to

    You can’t deny that most of the destruction and murder of palestinians happened during Biden

        Your source show that the majority of causalities happened during Biden. My source shows the majority of descruction happen during Biden. Biden stayed in office during the genocide 471 days , Trump 496 days.

        Biden :

        Fatalities: 47,460

        Injuries: 111,580

        Trump:

        Fatalities: There were 72,289 recorded fatalities.

        Injuries: There were 172,040 recorded injuries.

        You are so soft when critisizng Biden complicity with genocide while I am harsh on both. Trump could have been 90% better than Biden and I would still believe the minimum punishement is a life time sentence for him

          In their chart, it’s pretty clear that the death rate in Gaza went up just as Trump took control. His rhetoric at the time was very pro-Isreal and encouraging them to eradicate the Palestinians, put up casinos, and all that. And then it slowed way down in Oct last year when the pseudo peace agreement brokered by the U.S. started. So credit where it’s due, they managed to make some sort of improvement then. But all Presidents have tried to make peace deals in Isreal/Gaza - it’s not like Biden wouldn’t have likely done that too. And the U.S. has now allowed isreal to attack Lebanon. And of course the Iran attacks which then US didn’t just support but was actively attacking. And of course Biden might have done the same, it’s not totally off script, although a Biden or Harris admin probably wouldn’t have fucked up the closing of the straight so badly. I don’t think any president would have stopped Isreal from launching a debilitating strike against Hamas after the October attacks. And then Hezbollah joining in made them a legit target too. I don’t think Biden did enough to pressure Isreal to safeguard civilians and to provide humanitarian aid. I’m not taking it easy on him. But the point is that it’s still as clear as anything that Trump was worse for the people of Gaza than Harris would have been. And the steadfast refusal to accept that and vote accordingly is what what got Trump elected, and what will get maga elected again (and then fuck over more people of the world, like in Cuba for example).

            What a stupid angle. The mortality from the start of the genocide to the last day of Biden in office is higher than during Trump in the same time frame. So Biden was slightly than Trump

            His rhetoric at the time was very pro-Isreal and encouraging them to eradicate the Palestinians, put up casinos, and all that.

            There is no big difference between trump talking about ethnically cleansing Palestinians from the land then Israel allow trump’s casino and Biden lying about seeking a cease fire and allow israel to ethnically cleansing all Palestinians so israel build settlements again

            then the pseudo peace agreement brokered by the U.S. started. So credit where it’s due

            I don’t give credit to a half baked cease fire when Trump could end the genocide completely, same as Biden. See, I am harsher on Trump than you based on facts

            And the U.S. has now allowed Israel to attack Lebanon.

            You seem to have a memory of a fly? Because Biden did allow Israel to attack Lebanon

            But all Presidents have tried to make peace deals in Israel/Gaza

            Not a single one tried to make a real peace deal . Not a single one advocated for a Palestinian states will all it’s right and threats if Israel refuses to slowly dismantle settlements.

            And of course Biden might have done the same, it’s not totally off script, although a Biden or Harris admin probably wouldn’t have fucked up the closing of the straight so badly

            You should be happy not sad that Iran has control of the straight because otherwise Iran would have no leverage and Israel/USA may have succeeded to create another failed state. Giving the money to Israel to bomb Iran or the USA bombing itself Iran is equally bad.

            But the point is that it’s still as clear as anything that Trump was worse for the people of Gaza than Harris would have been.

            All evidence show the opposed as I already shows in this post

            And the steadfast refusal to accept that and vote accordingly is what what got Trump elected, and what will get maga elected again

            Biden withdrawing too late and Harris because one of the dumbest politician I ever seen who couldn’t convice she would be better for the economy and border security along with the shitty two party system make Trump wins

              So that’s the point. Harris easily made the case that she was better for security and the economy. And she was quite clearly better on ME politics too despite your mental gymnastics trying to make yourself believe otherwise. But she wasn’t good enough for too many leftist morons in the U.S. and so we got maga/trump. It seems like you’re happy with Trump winning, so good on you I guess.
