The American Administration has a point on birth citizenship actually.
A daft one, but,
If a foetus is a person from conception* then anyone born 9 months* after the mother was in the USA should be a citizen, rather than excluding people who had been exported in utero

* they have their timing wrong by a couple of weeks as well, but sex/reproduction is one of those things they are odd about.

[cont’d] Policy of containment rather than resolution was always Netanyahu’s preferred strategy to avoid peace negotiations with the Palestinians [Shabi Gatenio, xcancel.com/ShabiGatenio]

A historical perspective on #Netanyahu's approach to the conflict with #Hamas in Gaza, specifically comparing his statements and actions from 2014 to the current situation in 2024.

Netanyahu's strategy is described as relying on "deterrence policy," which is characterized as essentially agreeing to an endless war of attrition. This approach prioritizes managing the conflict rather than seeking a comprehensive political solution. In 2014 demands for invasion by Liberman and Bennet were made during Operation Protective Edge, which lasted 50 days. Netanyahu resisted these calls and thwarted their intention to invade by leaking documents containing internal assessments of the high toll of casualties projected by the experts.

Undermining alternatives:

By keeping #Hamas in power in #Gaza, Netanyahu effectively prevented the Palestinian Authority from gaining control there, which could have potentially led to more fruitful negotiations.

Changing narratives:

Gatenio is suggesting that Netanyahu's current stance in 2024 contradicts his previous positions and actions. The high civilian death toll in the current conflict goes against Netanyahu's earlier statements about avoiding civilian casualties.

Long-term consequences:

This strategy of avoiding a political solution and instead relying on periodic military operations has not resulted in long-term security or peace.
