What was also galling was seeing our Foreign Secretary David Lammy fly out to Israel for a photo-op being all chummy with his Israeli counterpart and inviting him to the UK for an ‘official visit’ - after helping the Zionists in their genocide. None of these criminals will ever face justice and it makes me sick.
If Biden had actually used any leverage, the Republicans and half the Democrats and the entire press would have screamed antisemitism. This pause is Bibi’s final humiliation of Biden, and they’ll go back to murder asap. Bibi wrapped things up in 2008 so as not to upstage Obama’s inauguration. It’s like that. If y’all wanna believe Trumpian lies about how big his rock-hard diplomacy is—because far-right, Trump-loving assholes here and in Israel are saying so—go ahead. It’s how the left has been played by the right for years.
You know, Bannon sought out Chomsky early on in ‘15 or ‘16. He’s not dumb: bashing the libs is a shared goal of left and far-right. Not being a fool—and knowing history—Chomsky didn’t fall for it. Neither should we.
So, I don’t think we can pretend that Biden just refused only out of the innate perfidy of his heart—let alone that Trump is some kind of tough peacenik. To do so underestimates the scale and ignores the systemic nature of the problem while playing right into fascists’ hands.
Mind you, if it were up to me, I’d’ve cut Israel off North Korea-style. Nothing—not even Iron Dome replenishment. If that didn’t work, bomb their military assets. And I’m an American Jew whose mother lost half her family in the Holocaust. Note that no Arab nation even pulled their ambassadors. Just about no one in power gives a shit about Palestinians.
But we have to both deal with reality and not play into the hands of fascists.

No one is supporting Trump. The point of the article is how Biden so grossly misused his power due to his innate inability to value Palestinian lives.
Game it out. What would have happened?
