"Trump has given tacit approval to Israeli actions since the ceasefire came into effect on January 19. More than 90 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza by Israeli attacks. Israel has also violated the ceasefire by obstructing the delivery of heavy machinery to start clearing away rubble; preventing the delivery of mobile homes and tents to temporarily shelter the people of Gaza, especially in the almost totally destroyed north; delaying the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners; and now by refusing to leave the Philadelphi Corridor.

All of this has taken place without comment from Washington. Trump has gotten what he most wanted in the short term, a ceasefire and more hostages freed. He may well see all the remaining Israeli hostages returned home, and that will be his victory. "

“The man who ends wars” 🤦🏻how can anyone believe a word coming out of this disgusting mouth?

If it was up to the Israeli government they would be flattening Gaza twice over again. But something is still holding them back. Possibly the Arab league pressuring Trump with that sweet oil money?

As much as israel postures as a tiger, they don't have the firepower to do that.

The status quo, indeed.

So they inherited democrat policy on the issue.

I thought Trump announced a plan of genocide to allow for his fantasy of bearded belly-dancers per the video he posted.

What happened to Trump Gaza? Just another stunt I see. Sick of this reality TV show. I want boring politics and to help my fellow countrymen.

[–] unphazed@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

Wasn't even a stunt. It was just callous, demented, and sick.

I hope Netanyahu has to answer to his actions in the near future.

[–] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 hours ago

Based on my frequent listening to behind the bastards, I'd say chances of that are low. Best we can probably hope for is really painful illness leading to a slow death.

He will absolutely get luigi'd

[–] Petter1@lemm.ee 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

well someone tried

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

if biden doesnt have to, then neither will netanyahu.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

One is definitely more guilty than the other.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

In the sense that the Nazi in charge of operating the gas chamber was more guilty than the Nazi who refills the gas between use, I suppose.

[–] Petter1@lemm.ee 2 points 11 hours ago

The comparison would be the Nazi who sold all the gas to Nazis (US gets Army toy hacking software from Israel. They have supposedly the best spyware on sale, and US secures good deals by supporting Isreal.

Well, at least that is how I interpret the situation.

one successfully fooled western world via duplicity while the other was candid the entire time, i'm not so sure if one was worse that the other; but does it matter since neither will answer for their actions?

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world -2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

One was definitely much worse than the other.

[–] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 21 hours ago

The one that hands the guns is as guilty as the one that triggers it.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 3 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

You're splitting hairs about genociders

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world -2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

It's a very large difference. Which is the opposite of splitting hairs.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

No, not really. They're both genociders
