If the deal currently being discussed goes through, it would be a result of Trump's election. Biden didn't do shit to cause this deal to happen.
And I wouldn't be surprised if they held it until Trump is inaugurated.
Not even being hyperbolic when I say Biden is literally the worst president we've ever had. Genociding piece of shit.
In all of American history, lotsa old white men with much higher body counts. Biden's banal evil doesn't hold a torch to someone like Andrew Jackson.
In modern history, I'm pretty sure George W still beats out Biden on every measure, The only difference being George W could draw a clock.
He is an evil decrepit monster, but within the Pantheon of evil that are former US presidents, I'm not sure he breaks the top third most evil.
I think the only reason we don't have a worse view of Bush is the lack of recording devices among US troops and any devices that could record anything were heavily monitored. Abu Ghraib was only the tip of the iceberg and it was only found out because:
The guards had cameras they weren't allowed to have
The footage was accidentally given to a journalist
I'd be more surprised to find out Abu Ghraib was an isolated incident, rather than SOP for the US military. Just yesterday someone posted a comment from a soldier who used candy to trick kids into setting off explosives.
Bush was also lucky as hell to be president in that period between the dot-com crash and the GFC where the US economy did relatively well, so all the libs whose main concern is
muh treats will have a favorable view of him.
The actual deal is supposedly one Biden has been pushing for months. All Trump did was apply the pressure to Israel that Biden refused to.
What do they want?
Because as far as I can tell what they want is for the war to continue until there are no Gazans left.
Achieving greater Israel means genociding all Palestinians. Stopping to let Gaza recoup doesn't help that goal.
But what did the right wing of the Knesset want that they have gotten in the past few days/weeks?
