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.
I did not say he couldn’t, I said trump got in the way. Then I asked what did trump do now that joe Biden didn’t the past six months after Donald called Bibi last year. Why didn’t he do this two months ago. And you bring up Reagan. It’s like you know about Mr. Keep the hostages until I’m in office.
Lol, the absolute state of BlueAnon Biden simps. They’re now seriously trying to argue that Trump somehow forced Biden to keep sending Israel weapons, vetoing every resolution against them, and generally do everything he could to protect them.
You know maybe nothing would have changed if trump hadn’t contacted them before the election. I can give you that. Maybe they’d still be doing and there wouldn’t be a ceasefire if things had gone differently. But also, maybe this could have happened months ago had those calls not taken place. And maybe this could have happened months ago had he called after the beginning of November. After all, it just took one phone call right? I don’t know everything hypothetical. And now there is a ceasefire for the moment, which is good.
No, it couldn’t. Because Biden made no effort to secure a ceasefire. It took one phone call, but Biden was not willing to make that phone call. The idea that Trump was somehow forcing Biden to keep sending Israel billions in arms for the past fifteen months is absolute brain-dead conspiracy on par with qanon.
I didn’t say that Donald Trump forced the weapon shipments. I said he could have told Israel to not negotiate until now. I’d say it’s a brain dead idea that Biden never said “stop it” once. Those weapon shipments will continue now regardless, and now the genocide will just be moved back to a cold phase until something happens,or it is complete.
The POTUS doesn’t need to “negotiate” with Israel: Israel relies on the USA for its existence. If Biden told them “stop it” and they refused, he would have cut support and forced them to stop it.
But he didn’t, because he is a fanatical supporter of Israel.
But of course you’ve already had this explained to you multiple times, your brain just refuses to accept it because it’s been completed fucking broken by your team losing the election and it’s in full on cope mode.
Israel couldn’t have gone until the election without him? I don’t know how much they have in store, but I assumed it was significant. Maybe I’m wrong there. They probably wouldn’t have gone as hard, but there was no guarantee they would stop. There is certainly something different about trump saying stop it and Biden saying it. Are you assuming it’s that Trump attached it to shipments? I don’t know what is different myself. It could be several things. I’m not discounting the possibilities. He says it’s his manly voice, and while that drips with sarcasm, I mean it could be? Maybe bidens a wimp and that was the difference. But… I’m also not discounting possibilities that disagree with that.
No, they could not. TRUMP COULD NOT FORCE THE BIDEN ADMIN TO KEEP SUPPORTING ISRAEL.
You’re being deliberately stubborn now, I’ve explained this multiple times to you. Clearly there is no helping people like you who have fully practiced Qanon style conspiracy theory.
I didn’t say that again. The all capital thing, I did not say that. I didn’t say that Trump forced Biden to support anyone.
