    Just have to give them a few more months to continue bombing hospitals and schools and any and every building. Once they do that, a cease fire is possible.

    Remember when the US was opening a port to provide aid to Gaza and we just had to wait for that and then they finished and then Israel blocked the aid like they did with everyone else and the US said “Oh well” and packed it up after accomplishing jack shit?

    They’re just just trying to make it look like something is happening, just stalling for time indefinitely, constantly saying stuff is right around the corner while delivering on jack shit (except unconditional military aid to Israel). Anyone still buying this crap is a grade-A sucker.

      Yep, once I realized how completely bankrupt liberals are, their behavior makes perfect sense.

      They really are just blue MAGA, nothing more. They don’t believe in anything, they don’t give a shit about anyone else than themselves and their cushy little lives.

      Just look at the liberal discourse on lemmy, all they do is hysterically scream about the great evil and how genocide is perfectly fine, how we must stop project 2025.

      Meanwhile, Dems have said nothing about how this will actually happen other than…… ???

      You mean when they built a pier unable to withstand the famously stormy seas of the Mediterranean on the Mediterranean coast at the cost of tens of millions of taxpayer dollars? Yes, I remember.

    So?

    Blinken and Biden have been lying this entire time, I don’t think either one has admitted that they’re openly supporting a genocide against US and international law yet

    There is zero reason to believe anything the current admin says about Israel and their continuing genocide.

        I mean Biden is making sure to double down on his support for Israel whenever he has the chance to do so. He is pro genocide.

        Trump is of course worse just for the record.

          I don’t think we’re disagreeing on much here, but the issue of money in politics cannot be overlooked. For establishment US politicians, especially ones with long memories like Joe, supporting Israel is axiomatic. It’s almost like Fouccault’s boomerang as applied to political spending - we fund genocide because we helped to create a genocidal state, and some of that money gets funneled back to our leaders to ensure the well never runs dry.

        I think he cares a lot more about maintaining his increasingly tenuous grip on power in Israel than what any US politician says or does.

        Why do people keep saying that?

        Putin owns trump and is allied with Israels neighbors…

        Biden would start WW3 to protects Israel’s ongoing genocide. trump would abandon them on a whim.

        What do t you understand about that?

        Why do you think there’s people on social media insisting it has to be Joe but unable to give a reason? They have a reason, they just don’t want to say it’s Joe’s unwavering support of Israel.

          Did you miss the RNC chanting and cheering about how much they support Israel? Trump knows his base - he’d never turn against Israel or Netanyahu. There’s a reason this exists.

            So you think the one thing that can turn him from Putin and all of his blackmail and bribes is Israel?

            Do you think that’s because they have more blackmail/bribes on/for trump?

            I just don’t understand how someone could think trump would pick anything over putin, so what do you think would make him pick Israel instead?

    I’m not a big sports fan, but I know enough about football to know that ‘inside the 10-yard line’ sometimes turns into a touchdown for the opposite team.

    I assume Netanyahu has already gotten his paint out to move the endzone.

    It’s kind of obnoxious people continue to put up with him when he’s actively famous for dicking around and playing with every partner, coalition or international.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken and the national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, said on Friday that an agreement to free hostages held in Gaza and establish a cease-fire was close, as administration officials prepared for what they expected to be a tense visit to Washington next week by Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.

    But he acknowledged that working out the details, including providing security inside Gaza and developing a postwar plan to govern the territory and allow in more relief supplies, had taken far longer than expected.

    Asked if the hopes of creating a Palestinian state were still alive, Mr. Blinken jokingly quoted Senator John McCain of Arizona, saying, “It’s always darkest before it goes completely black.”

    Mr. Blinken and Mr. Sullivan both spoke about sustaining commitments to Ukraine, though they talked around the biggest threat to that financing: The possibility that Donald J. Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, would be elected in November and halt the American aid.

    Before the NATO summit last week, an orchestrated American campaign to provide Europe with intelligence about the Chinese effort resulted in a strong and rare European statement demanding that Beijing stop.

    U.S. officials also said this week that Russia, in response to American support to Ukraine, was contemplating sending arms, including ship-killing missiles, to the Houthis in Yemen, according to a Wall Street Journal report.
