Israeli officials suggested that the increased military aid was part of a deal to get Netanyahu to agree to the Gaza ceasefire deal. Trump’s envoy for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, has said he’s pushing for the full implementation of the agreement, but the ceasefire is very fragile as Netanyahu doesn’t want to implement the second phase.
Look I voted dem, my state is still blue & I can for once in my life say I’m proud of my governor. Biden was complicit in genocide and it was one of many major factors that cost the election. Remember Biden could have simply enforced the Leahy Act and stop providing mutinous at any point. Everyone could see the war crimes and bs like temp piers. He could have kept his promise and only run one term, allow for an engaging democratic primary and a graceful exit. BUT here we are
I’m certainly not happy with what Biden did, but it was far from unpredictable. He just carried on the policy of intense support both parties have followed since Israel was founded. Let’s be honest though. If Biden and Harris enforced the Leahy Act, all you would have heard from the right is that Democrats are antisemites who protect Hamas terrorists.
We don’t give a flying fuck what “the right” would say; we give a fuck about stopping genocide.
No, previous administrations were willing to reign Israel in - even Trump has proven willing to - Biden was uniqigue in his complete, no limits, full support of Israel’s most horrific crimes since it’s creation.
“We had to violate the law, otherwise the right would call us names!” (spoilers, they called you those names anyway.)
