US: "Please God let us be right this time, Netanyahu wouldn't just fake us out at the last moment for a twelfth time just to continue the genocide of Palestine, right?"

Netanyahu:

The US wants a ceasefire, but not badly enough to piss off AIPAC, which makes us toothless on the matter.

Plus a smug phone call from Trump asking Bibi not to accept the agreement because it might help the Democrats win the election.

I just dont know why any media are taking the Biden administration seriously on this issue. They've lost any good faith on this issue.

Right? Why would anyone address the head of the US instead of blatantly calling him names??

Why would anyone consider half a century of US policy and then act like this is all about Biden? Why not instead call him names like genocide Joe?

Because it is a shit policy and literal genocide.

Typical fascist propaganda the enemy is too strong and too weak at the same time.

That is why the jews are strong enough to do genocide but are so weak they have to do super secret stealth genocide to hide their actions, so the end result is their genocide is literally the slowest and least effective genocide in all of recorded history.

There is such a thing as "global politics", read it up. If you know the history of the region and still don't see it for what it is, then there is no chance getting you to realize the truth. It is a genocide, which makes you a genocide denier.

Stop contributing the actions of Israel to all Jewish people. This is about Israel committing genocide. Zionists are to blame, conflating that with Jewish People is genuinely Antisemitic

You know you’re close to a compromise when both sides are unhappy.
