    i did look into it more, and my statement is over generalizing (aka wrong).

    biden had paused a single shipment of bombs, trump released it. But notable is that biden did not stop the sale.

    trump removed the cap on how much arms could be sold, and that is a direct escalation, vs biden metered expansion of sales

    there was the dismantling of UNRWA, which biden just started the process of doing

    and the sale of bulldozers for the purpose of destroying the homes of palestinians to create an illegal pro israel “security zone”.

    so you are right, while the biden admin were working to do these things, trump seems to be speed running their end game which is directly worse.

      Yeah don’t get me wrong Biden wasn’t my favorite but the ICE funding he put in place was for expansion on accommodations to prisoners so they could be treated humanely while in custody.

      In regards to Gaza, not going to defend him, he was all talk no action. Israel’s actions were a travesty from the start.

      However it has only expanded under Trump. If one could compare the magnitude of travesties such as this it has only accelerated under Trump.
