It's pretty obvious that Biden has been unwilling to withhold arms or support from Israel even when Israel defies Biden's requests. It's obvious you can't negotiate effectively if you give your partner everything he wants even as he gives you nothing you want.
It’s pretty obvious that this is a complex situation & time. When Biden said he was going to partially stopping sending weapons he was strung up in the media as being anti-Semitic. It’s also pretty obvious Netanyahu had no interest in negotiating so he can help himself & 45.
Which gets to the point that began this argument. Biden wasn't worried about the media when he pardoned his son. He was able to be bold when it helped his family.
What world are you living in? You do realize the election is over now & a mad man has now won the election? If that hadn’t happened the pardon probably wouldn’t have happened. Which gets back to my point that I applaud Biden’s decision & have no issue with it.
Do I seem like an expert? Because I live in reality and know that ending a war & a conflict that’s been going on for decades isn’t easy peasy? You really think I need to work in the State Department to know that?
So you're not an expert. The conflict has been going on for decades mostly because the United States has acted as Israel's lawyer—in large part by pretending the problem is too complex to solve.
Let's face it. To create a Jewish state on territory that had a large population of Arabs was always going to require the oppression, marginalization, or removal of the Arabs. It's a pretty simple conflict if you stop trying to make it complex with all sorts of excuses for Israel.
Okay. Ending a war is super easy. Thanks for your expertise and knowledge. Can’t wait for you to get into government and implement this super easy plan of yours.
Ending the broader conflict may be challenging. But Biden could have pushed much harder to prevent Israel from inflicting the level of destruction on Gaza (and the West Bank) it has.
But that would have required the boldness to withhold support and even sanction Israel.
