    Reminder that before Oct 7, Israel was still the occupying force in Gaza, as it still is in the West Bank. The absence of ground troops does not equal an end to occupation. So Biden here is being disingenuous.

      They have no access to the waters along their coast and Isreal controls everything going in and out before this war and even more so now. Hamas was able to take over Palestine because of the anger the Palestinians had of Isreal, because of their thumb on them. Nethanyahu and Hamas came into power at the same time and their hate for each other, which has consequences on their civilians. This is a war between Hamas and Nethanyahu and their people suffer.

    The only way long lasting peace can be achieved is dismantling Israel in its current form and creation of the new Israel-Palestine state with power sharing between Jews and Arabs. Something like Northern Ireland solution. All the state functions, army, police to be equally shared between both nations.

    I mean better late than never I guess but that’s not going to bring back the over 40k Palestinians who’s deaths he funded. Good way to distract from Obama and Pelosi telling him to step down though.
