The White House on Tuesday provided the most complete definition yet of what it considers a “major ground operation” in Rafah that could trigger a change in United States policy toward Israel, and said Israel’s actions there have not yet reached that level.
“We have not seen them smash into Rafah - we have not seen them go in with large units, large numbers of troops in columns and formations in some sort of coordinated maneuver against multiple targets on the ground. That is a major ground operation. We have not seen that,” White House national security spokesperson John Kirby told reporters at a briefing.
When I talk to people about the next election this is exactly what they say…
That’s a hell of a campaign position… I’m not worse then the other guy might be, so eat it.
Also a huge indictment if the two party system and the total capture by the first past the post voting system.
The main difference between trump and every other president is that trump doesn’t know not to say the quiet part out loud. Most presidents are good at discretion, as most federal policies are monstrous.
Trump lead stadiums full of people in chants of, “build that wall,” in contrast to obama and biden who quietly maintained the barriers on the southern boarder. Same policy different messaging.
Gaza will be no different. Trump enthusiastically supports the genocide, whereas biden criticizes and puts on a show like he’s putting pressure on isreal, while still supporting them entirely. Same policy, different messaging.
I would love to be proven wrong, but expierence says otherwise.
I’m not aware of data showing trumps supports the genocide.
Trump supports Israel’s “war against terror.” He has said so. His supporters do too. Nikki Haley wrote “finish them” or something on a missile whilst in Israel. Trump is wholeheartedly in support of this genocide and will definitely never set any kind of red lines around it. Biden is shit but trump is a whole sewer worth.
