This week’s “breakthrough” in ceasefire negotiations to end the genocidal campaign against Gaza came, according to regional sources, after a single intervention by US president-elect Trump’s designated envoy Steve Witkoff in which he ordered Netanyahu’s government to capitulate.
While we might be skeptical of Trump’s habit of claiming credit for any progress, it was corroborated by the far-right members of the Netanyahu government erupting into the kind of tantrum for which they are now world-famous, framing the deal as a disaster imposed on “Israel” by the incoming administration.
In the aftermath of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, Biden, while parroting “Israel’s” atrocity propaganda about beheaded infants in ovens, gave Netanyahu a carte blanche to declare total war on the people of Gaza. As the unique scale of the atrocities in the Strip became clear, Biden proceeded, through his spineless UN ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield, to provide diplomatic cover for the genocide at the Security Council.
In June, Biden lied that a ceasefire deal had finally been reached, that it was at the initiative of the Netanyahu government, and that the Israeli leadership had accepted it. Secretary of State Antony Blinken clownishly trumpeted this falsehood, along with the claim that the only impediment to the ceasefire was Hamas’ refusal of its terms. It was well known at the time to be a lie, but the breakthrough of the last week confirms it beyond all doubt.
The lives of tens of thousands of foreigners will always be collateral to you chauvinistic fucks.
You seem to have replied to the wrong comment. The only other possibility is a failure in reading comprehension.
I think it’s fantastic that lives will be temporarily saved.
Anyone who thinks this happened because Trump wants Gaza to be a better place for the people living there today is seeing what they want to see.
No, fuck off. I read your comment, and you declared the saving of tens of thousands of lives to be collateral to what you considered the more important issue of whether Trump is a good person or whatever. That is the classic behavior of American liberal chauvinists: far more concerned with the personal virtue and decorum of the para-social figures in their political drama than with the actual material effects on people’s lives.
Well somehow I clicked delete instead of edit on my reply of a minute ago.
What I said was - No, I think you are being given crumbs to get you to embrace fascism, and I think it’s working.
But then what I attempted to edit it to add was - and before you say it, the crumbs aren’t the people. The crumbs are the brief pause so Trump can use the political power he gains to cement himself. Then he will let Netanyahu off the leash and it’s not going to stop this time. That’s my prediction.
Ok, go fuck yourself.
Deeply unserious person, like all BlueMAGA shitlibs
Man you need to work on some better insults. Those barely registered.
Yeah, sure. Are you going to say you’re actually laughing next?
But I’m the troll here, meanwhile ad hom is all you have and your comments stay up.
An insult is not an adhom, go back to reddit.
