Certainly wouldn't have been worse than what happened- a genocide and historic electoral catastrophe and delivery of a 2nd Trump term.

Yeah I don't think he's going to save Palestinians but it looks like he did end the slaughter in Gaza that Biden supported fully. This isn't praise for Trump it's an indictment of Biden

He prevented the Leahy laws from being enforced! Not a single sanction against any Israeli unit! I mean c'mon Biden has done /nothing/ to pressure Israel. Because he supports them and their genocide ideologically till the end!
January 14, 2025 at 11:00 PM
Yes all of their guns and money came from Biden- a man who also repeatedly lied for them (beheaded babies).

Remember the "humanitarian pier?" that was only used to launch an IDF raid that killed 100s of Palestinians? Biden has been a weak fool and total supporter of Israel's genocide.
January 14, 2025 at 10:49 PM
He didn't. He allowed the Israelis to crash the deal. He also claimed to support Palestinian statehood but voted against it at the UN. Judge him by his actions.

This article is from 6 months ago. Israel pulled out and then Biden kept giving them infinite weapons and money.

Biden has been completely unwilling to pressure Israel in any discernable way. Even haaretz is reporting that this breakthrough is from pressure from the incoming Trump admin
January 14, 2025 at 10:25 PM
Giving him infinite weapons with no strings, defending him from a international court warrant, and welcoming him with a standing ovating is a weird way for Biden to demonstrate Biden's desire for Netanyahu's defeat.
January 14, 2025 at 10:22 PM
Hamas accepted the terms in July but Israel backed down. It took pressure from the incoming Trump admin to make them do it (something Biden was unwilling to do). I'm not making this up it's literally how even Israeli media is reporting it.
January 14, 2025 at 10:21 PM
What?
January 14, 2025 at 10:19 PM
This is Haaretz. It's a "liberal" Israeli news outlet.
January 14, 2025 at 9:32 PM
Haaretz is reporting this. It's not my opinion.
January 14, 2025 at 9:24 PM
Yeah framework from July that Hamas accepted but Israel refused. They are meeting now because Trump's incoming team is actually exerting pressure on Israel which Biden never did. Even the Israeli media is reporting this.
January 14, 2025 at 9:07 PM
Trump is the reason it's happening. His people are leading the negotiations and put pressure on Israel to accept the deal. I hate Trump but it's true.
January 14, 2025 at 9:05 PM
He probably is telling him that.

Also if Biden actually supported Palestinian statehood, he shouldn't have voted against it at the UN and given Netanyahu all the money and arms he could possibly want with no strings attached. Biden has don't nothing but let Israel rampage unchecked.
January 14, 2025 at 9:04 PM
To me this is just Biden trying to demonstrate that he's a better friend to Israel while walking out the door.

The Israelis humiliating him for the effort. And the fascists there will still love the Trump admin more. Complete failure for Biden admin here.
January 14, 2025 at 8:49 PM
They have absolutely not been. At no point have they put any pressure on Netanyahu. This is the same deal that Hamas agreed to in July. Israel is moving now because of pressure from Trump. I hate it, but it's true.
January 14, 2025 at 8:44 PM
I hate Trump but this is true. Biden had no interest in a ceasefire at any point.
January 14, 2025 at 8:41 PM
Even the Israeli media is saying this. It's true. Biden wanted nothing to do with it and allowed Trump's guy to take the lead.

I hate Trump but it's true.
