What peace talks? The ones where Netanyahu actively sabotaged them and then gleefully kills more Palestinian kids? None of that is happening and the current rate is not a slow one. It was a slow one before Oct 7th.

A 30-year-old Maccabi Tel Aviv fan describes the moments of horror: "I finished a four-month reserve in Gaza, and what I experienced here is no less scary. There is a war out here. They ran over me and pulled a knife on me. I am slightly injured, but I am not ready to receive treatment here, only in Israel. We were ambushed. I'm in the market. I saw with my own eyes children who were caught in explosions. They are everywhere. No police, complete chaos. Everything was pre-planned. The police here abandoned us. Every fourth person walking the street is a Muslim who has come to attack Jews. Me and several hundred other fans are surrounded in the hotel, the police don't allow us to leave. They just want to fly home."
Wonder what he did in those 4 months. I bet you it was a lot worse than what he got here.
I love libraries. I used to spend a lot of time in them when I was a kid. I still have my 16 digit library card number from when I was a kid memorized.
Well that was an interesting read, thank yoy for sharing. Maybe this opinion is more widespread than I thought.
The rate of a genocide matters very little. At the end of the day, a genocide is a genocide.
If he could have ended it with one phone call, just cancelled the whole operation, he would have. Are you trying to tell me that he just loves dead Palestinians and war in the Middle East so much that he wanted the whole thing to happen even though it was absolute kryptonite to his own and his party’s domestic political prospects, in addition to being a historic crime against humanity, just because?
The DoJ is currently sitting on 500 documented cases of war crimes by Israel while using American weapons. They have a legal standing to halt arms shipments on a whim. If there's even a whiff that America would stop arming Israel they would stop. Israel would not be able to exist let alone fight this war without American support. Also, keep in mind that even Ronald Reagan was able to talk down Israel with a single phone call when they tried the same thing in the 80s.
I don't think Biden likes to see dead Palestinian children, but I also don't think it's a coincidence that he has received more money from pro Israel lobbyists than any other Senator in history. No other president in history has emboldened Israel the way Biden has.
Absolutely false. Wait and see, and observe the difference. Not that it wasn’t already a stain on humanity, but it’s now going to get substantially worse.
The domino's have been falling consistently for the past 13 months. The escalations we are going to see over the next few months would have happened regardless if Trump won or lost. It's abundantly clear there's little to no red lines when it comes to Israel's actions, regardless if it's Democrats or Republicans in charge.
I'd also like to point out that Biden campaigned on certain promises for Arabs concerning Palestine that he never fulfilled. Biden has been ignoring the Arab demographic for longer than 13 months.
You're not being hostile IMO so don't worry about appearing that way. If I didn't want to to discuss politics I wouldn't be in this community. I know this
I'm not saying Biden wanted it to happen. I'm saying he let it happen, just as Trump would. When all is said and done a genocide is a genocide, the pace of it matters little. And the conflict is also already boiling over to the rest of the middle east. All while a Democrat is President. Harris would have been better than Trump on virtually every other topic, but for this one there is little to no difference. Both vocalize staunch and unwavering support of Israel. Just one side vocalizes it a bit more politely.
Harris lost all the swing states last I checked. It wasn't the sole issue that cost her the White House but it was definitely the issue that cost her Michigan, and maybe Pennsylvania.
Democrats switched from Biden to Harris last minute because they realized Biden wasn't doing so well on the popularity front. This should have been a major clue to say that Harris should have steered in her own direction. But she didn't and it cost her the election.
They've started incursions and attacks into the West Bank already. And they're already invading Lebanon with regular strikes on Syria. They've also repeatedly escalated the conflict with Iran as well. All you say that will happen under Trump has already been happening under Biden.
The domino pieces for a wider regional war has been falling consistently over the past 13 months. That's on Biden. He helped turn trhe middle east into a powder keg because he couldn't keep one of America's proxies in check. Whether or not Trump won would have been irrelevant. The escalations that are about to happen would have happened anyway due to the unconditional support for Israel by both the Democrats and Repbulicans.
I'm saying it's already getting worse. The escalations have already been happening.
