    Trump assassinated Soleimani and moved the embassy to Jerusalem; he’s said he’d reject humanitarian pauses and increase hostilities with Iran. I agree Biden should work to cut funding to Israel, but at least he’s been pushing for water access and electricity for Gaza, for medical care and humanitarian corridors; as bad as it is now, trump would make it staggeringly worse.

      I want to make this crystal clear: NO HE HASN’T

      Every word he’s ever said on the matter in public is a lie, he has given the Israelis EVERYTHING they’ve asked for unconditionally, while making occasional polite requests that they can completely ignore with no consequences. He is an absolutely committed Zionist and his preferred solution is for the Palestinians to leave or die. Literally the only further thing Trump could do is officially send in the US military to do ethnic cleansing in Gaza, rather than just doing it unofficially as Biden has.

        Honestly getting US troops on the ground might end the genocide fastest. I feel like a few quality vids of🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻on US soldiers might turn chuds against Israel.

        I mean probably not but I’m an optimist.

        If people like this saw ACTUAL political pressure exerted for a good cause, they’d dismiss it as “aUtHoRiTaRiAnIsM” or some bullshit. It seems like they think any actual political power being wielded is only valid if it stymies progress

      No the fuck he hasn’t. Using what as leverage? Don’t you know lip service when you see it? Biden is the biggest zionist ideologue in the entire party. Watch his floor speeches back when he was bald. He’s more bloodthirsty than 3/4 of Likud.

      I’m not saying Trump is better, but the only difference you’d see is what flag gets painted on the American made and American paid for bomb.

      Biden is literally repeatedly lying to spread isreals bullshit justifications of everything they’re doing.

      How many more times is he going to talk about that video of beheaded babies everybody else agrees he deffinitly didn’t see because it doesn’t exist.

      Those are just words with no meaning. The reality of the matter is that there are lawsuits being prepared against the US and UK for being complicit in the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. Biden’s administration is complicit in genocide.

      Biden wanted the embassy moved for DECADES. And how are you stupid enough to think Biden is doing anything to even “push” for water and electricity in Gaza? He is pushing through more arms to the fucking Israelis. Stop being coy you genocider

      humanitarian corridors

      “Rest assured, we are working hand-in-hand with the German Reich to create humanitarian corridors for the safe and secure passage of Jews and other, uh, ‘particular groups’ to Eastern Europe.”
