    I’m not going to bother clicking on the Hilary thing, because last time I checked, she wasn’t running for president.

    So, you brought one thing to the table. Biden sent tank shells to Israel. Personally, I dont support either side in that war, and maybe this is selfish, but I really don’t care either. They’ve been blowing each other up for decades and it hasn’t affected my life yet.

    If I’m understanding you, sending tank shells to Israel is just as bad as everything Trump did put together. Is this correct?

    If you really aren’t familiar with what Trump did, I can find you a list of his crimes. (Not controversial policies, CRIMES.)

      I’m not sure why I didn’t realize it before, but you just made me realize that if the Palestinians had the upper hand right now, they would absolutely be wiping out Israel. The world allowed this division to foment for too long; our failure to enforce UN resolutions means both Israel and Palestine have set aside the idea that the global community will ever hold Israel accountable. For Israel, that means acting with impunity, for Palestine that has meant taking matters into their own hands, however hopeless that is, because they gave up on international justice. (and rightly so, it’s a performative joke)

      What’s the first thing you do when you try to get two people to stop fighting? You separate them and give them some time and space to calm down, that’s not possible here so the two nations are permanently like two boxers nose to nose.
