    Granted, Biden did almost nothing to slow it down, and kept Israel well supplied with the weapons of genocide. Do you really think it’s a coincidence that Netanyahu waited until the day after the election to announce that Palestinians won’t be allowed to return to northern Gaza though?

    Granted, that was almost certainly the plan all along, but now even the fig leaf is gone. Without the need to devote any thought at all to political cover, Israel will stop even pretending to internal investigations of accusations against their own soldiers and redeploy those resources to the battlefield.

    The number of Palestinian deaths may not be different, but they’ll die even sooner.

      The Generals plan is in full full force. Netanyahu has already fully cleansed north Gaza.

      JOE BIDEN IS STILL THE PRESIDENT RIGHT NOW.

      There was never a fig leaf. They already didn’t need to devote any attention to political cover, the USA already made it clear that it wouldn’t tolerate holding Israel or any of the Israeli politicians accountable in international courts.

      The difference between the two is purely in wording and absolutely immaterial. If anything, trump is being more honest about it.

      Trump is terrible for other reasons, but they’re both equal in this matter
