"There was a helpful article in The Wall Street Journal over the weekend illustrating some of the actual situation in Israel-Palestine. It’s a profile of far-right Kahanist politician Itamar Ben-Gvir, who is one of the two ultra-far-right figures keeping Netanyahu in power."

"Through the article he pines for the return of Donald Trump who would, Ben-Gvir says, finally give Israel the free hand it needs to encourage the 'voluntary' departure of the Gazan population and resettle the strip with Israel settlements.
'Instead of giving us his full backing, Biden is busy with giving humanitarian aid and fuel [to Gaza], which goes to Hamas,' Ben-Gvir told the Journal."
“'If Trump was in power, the U.S. conduct would be completely different.'
Does anyone think these folks aren’t actually in contact with Trump?"
And yet, there are a lot of folks dumb enough to say they intend to vote for Trump or vote third-party or sit out the election because they think Biden is too cozy with Israel? Those folks honestly believe Trump will bring something far better to Gaza? Trump is as thick as thieves with the Israeli far right.
Those same dumb folks who want to claim that Biden is the problem when it comes to Israel and Palestine are the same set of folks who want to attack Biden and the Democrats as the problem with immigration and the border — even as the very same folks claim they're promoting a progressive approach to that problem.
Which the Republicans will not in 1,000,000 years bring us, if they're empowered while the Democrats are attacked and undermined.
