In exchange for the resettling of Palestinians, the administration would potentially release to Libya billions of dollars of funds that the U.S. froze more than a decade ago, those three people said.

    What actions on Gaza has the Trump regime taken that are demonstrably worse than what the Biden administration allowed?

    I often see this question asked, and I wonder if those asking have been asleep the past few months?

    Under Biden:

    • Israel was still negotiating with Hamas for a ceasefire and release of hostages. A ceasefire deal was even reached.
    • Israel limited the amount of occupation zones at the request of the Biden administration.
    • Mass deportations weren’t being planned (at least not openly, and not by the US).
    • Israel reduced but still allowed some foreign aid.

    Under Trump:

    • Israel broke the ceasefire and resumed hostilities with even greater military force.
    • Is creating very large occupation zones and “kill zones” where Palestinians are forced to leave.
    • Is openly planning mass deportations and ethnic cleansing, in collaboration with the US.
    • Israel has blocked foreign aid completely.

    As a result people now face mass starvation and the prospect of being fully ethnically cleansed.

    I understand Biden was extremely disappointing. I thought he was too. But we shouldn’t kid ourselves that he was in any way equally bad as Trump has been. And given what Trump and Israel have been saying, the worst is likely to come.

      1 - Under trump there is still talk between palestinians

      2 - Israel did not implement reducing the amount of occupation zone as you claimed. Everytime israel bypass a redline set by the usa, biden admin gave me diplomatic protection and more defence equipment so israel would still block aid at will and mass diplace palestinians under Biden on harris.

      3 - This plan is so evil but not realistic in medium term if not in long term. It would take decades if not centuries to move that much people to libya

      Both parties are similar in defending israel

      Israel was still negotiating with Hamas for a ceasefire and release of hostages. A ceasefire deal was even reached.

      As I recall, Israel almost always said they would go to these, and then didn’t, without even telling the Biden administration they were going to miss it. They’d just dead ass no show and leave the Biden team twisting in the wind. Then team Biden would say “well, okay, I guess we have no choice but to give them more bombs.”

      Israel reduced but still allowed some foreign aid.

      My dude, the way I remember it, we had to build a float dock because Israel wouldn’t allow any aid to come in by ground, and for the little bit they did, they murdered the people who tried to get it. Then, the float dock broke up, and we all just kind of shrugged.
