t3rmit3,

You think they’re gonna build the port and then extend aid packages on long poles so their feet don’t have to touch the soil?

No, I don’t think that, because I actually read about what the plan is: they’re having third-party organizations do the delivery of the aid.

Compared to the IDF being there unsupervised? Yes it would.

You think the US military would do shit if the IDF stepped in?

Correct. It’s crap. But, it’s more than anyone else has done.

Except it’s… not? Sanctioning 4 nobodies is somehow more than cutting off weapons sales? What?

Iraq, not Iran

Correct, my mistake.

And you have to go back 42 years to find a US president who did more than what Biden’s doing, and the reason he did it was nothing to do with the Palestinians but just because the IDF was attacking our ally. And if your argument is that Biden would have much more quickly condemned Israel over bombing a military site in say, Germany, than over conducting a literal genocide, I’m not sure that supports Biden.

Yes, you claimed that no US president has been harsher on Israel than Biden. That’s complete bunk, and I laid out the evidence. Now you’re moving the goalposts.

Trump is way worse; Trump wants to “finish the problem” in Gaza

No one else here is talking about Trump. Your apparent need to make everything a comparison of the 2 in no way lessens the actual actions Biden has taken.

If he suddenly starts doing everything right in Gaza, and becomes the president who reverses 75 years of genocide enablement (4 fucking blood-soaked months too late) – are you gonna start saying hey this guy seems like he’s produced a genuine permanent improvement in the US’s policy which pretty badly needs the help, and as a person who wants to see it get better I’m behind that?

Sure, I can commit to a fantasy scenario: If Biden makes the US no longer support Israel materially, politically, or ideologically, YES, I will absolutely say he deserves credit for it.

But he’s not going to.
