    Trump will come to power, and he’ll give Israel carte-blanche in Gaza

    They have cart-blanche right now under Biden. Him mumbling vaguely about a red line means nothing.

    They’re already using US bombs, what do the Gazans care if it falls out of an American plane to? Maybe if we write on the side “This is a Republican-sent bomb” that’ll absolve Democrats, huh?

    Israel has refused every ceasefire proposal that has come up because they think anything but the destructions of Hamas (and impossibility without killing everyone in Gaza) is the only way they save face.

    The logistics of how Trump continuee enabling Israel don’t really interest me. If Biden wants to prove he’s resisting the genocide he needs to materially prove it with sanctions and aid withdrawl. Wringing his hands isn’t cutting it.

    • If you think Israel has carte-blanche under Biden, then you’re in for a rude awakening. Netanyahu is openly courting Republicans, because Biden doesn’t allow him to do everything he’d like to do. Military operations in Rafah remain limited, because of Biden’s pressure. Aid keeps trickling in because Biden set up the logistics to do so.

      No, it’s not perfect. And he isn’t doing what you’d like him to do. But he does prevent worse, and Trump will do (and has promised to do) so much worse.

        50,000 children are suffering from acute starvation, 30,000 people have been killed. There isn’t a hospiral or school or university left standing, all of Gazas infrastructure is rubble.

        There is no line. You complete clown.
