The Trump administration has no plan for Gaza other than supporting Israel’s perpetual war
As the first phase of the Gaza ceasefire comes to an end it is clear the Trump White House has no substantive policy for the region. Israel is filling that vacuum with perpetual war.

"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. "

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

if biden doesnt have to, then neither will netanyahu.

One is definitely more guilty than the other.
-
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?

One was definitely much worse than the other.

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

You're splitting hairs about genociders

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.
-
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.

Do you actually think Biden wanted to support this evil? Unfortunately, having a western friendly base in the Middle East takes priority over values and pride. Israel got an answer to, how far can they go?' and it's all the way.
-
Of course lifelong Zionist Joe Biden wanted to support it. There was no reason for him to not use his leverage if he did not. Plenty of other American presidents have stopped Israel in the past when they went full genocide mode.

"If Israel didn't exist, we would have to create it." -guess whom
-
You gotta be kidding me 😂
-
"Biden would never do that! He's my parasocial friend!"
-
Master class in genocide apology: Biden didn’t want do it, aside from the reasons that he did.

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.
