the conflict was self-resolving

yeah, exactly as self-resolving as it is now. It will "resolve itself" when Israel is finished ethically cleansing Gaza. Did you seriously think a Democrat president who wasn't going to stop arms shipments under any circumstances was seriously going to change the dial on American support for the genocide?

Was a ceasefire deal and prisoner exchanges not happening days ago? Were people not out there on the streets rejoicing that the fighting had stopped? Were Gazans not forming lines along the shore walking miles back home? Are we reading the same news? Are we reading the news articles at all?

If you have special words for what that was let me know. Because it seems that you think I'm taking about something else and doubling down with typical irrelevant American conservative brand whataboutism without asking clarifying questions.

Oh, you mean the ceasefire that Israel near immediately violated? The one that Hamas is now back to holding the hostages over, because they have no assurance Israel won't further reneg on the deal? That ceasefire? The one that was basically invented just to make Trump look good as it happened under him?

The Genocide of Palestine has been happening since the 1950s with continued US support the entire time. The fighting has only ever been paused. If there really was dancing in the streets, which I never saw, it was naive and far too soon.

The one that Hamas is now back to holding the hostages over

That's only happening because Trump keeps yapping. He had Netanyahu over just days ago at the White House and he feels reinvigorated after his trip to the US. His change in attitude was so obvious. lol

The one that was basically invented just to make Trump look good as it happened under him?

That happened BEFORE he was sworn in, literally the last week of Biden's. It was THE reason why both Biden and Kamala apparently and a bit awkwardly reacted during Trump's inauguration because their administration had been part of the peace talks and Trump was wedging himself in trying to be in them. They wouldn't let him take credit. lol

The Genocide of Palestine has been happening since the 1950s

Nobody's talking bout the Israeli-Paliestinian conflict as a whole. I'm talking about the one happening right now where Israel was dropping bombs. The crisis. The big one we just had.

If there really was dancing

I said rejoicing. lol

See what I mean? xD

The mere fact that you refuse to understand that the current crisis is merely another moment in the broader conflict is reason enough for me not to engage with you further.

Oh, now I refuse to understand basic ideas! Cute.

You know, I don't mind it that you don't reply. Actually, I'd have appreciated it if you hadn't replied the first time with your little attitude. I won't suffer if you don't do it again. Please don't reply again and waste my time.
