    I’ve seen this posted a few times and there’s always comments explaining how this is actually Biden’s fault.
    Don’t get me wrong, I know he wasn’t the best president but if anyone thinks he was as bad or worse than Trump, they’re delusional.
    I wish I was disappointed with another 4 years of an ineffective centrist who didn’t do enough to prevent the genocide.
    Instead we have to watch as we actively participate in, and facilitate, the acceleration of the extermination.

      You mean a right winger who actively perpetrated a genocide.

      the acceleration of the extermination.

      What I’m getting is that you were a denialist about the extent of the genocide under Biden, and you’re only now willing to acknowledge it now that Trump is in.

      To me, the fact that millions of American libs will stop engaging in genocide denial now is a major silver lining to Trump’s election.

        The settlements are illegal per international law. Palestinians have the right to resist and expel the settlers regardless of how mighty the US or Israel are. Freedom isn’t free, after all.

        Despite all the war crimes and genocide, Israel still lost in the Gaza Strip. They didn’t destroy Hamas and they didn’t expel the Palestinians and resettle in the Gaza Strip. This is exactly the model that should be replicated in the West Bank.

          So the current situation in Gaza is the whole place is flattened and pretty much the entire population is displaced, as Israel commits war crimes in response to Hamas’s war crimes, with an actual solution being not even remotely close. And you want to replicate that? Sounds like you are more interested in keeping the perpetual war going than you are in actually making life better for the Palestinian people.

    Unfortunate, but the sanctions were only a symbolic gesture in the first place.
