      Yeah, while we can criticize Biden for going along with Israel’s attacks on Palestinians, it’s pure fantasy to imagine Trump and his associates would be any less enthusiastic. All the signs are that they’d be even more enthusiastic, plus they have the support of the crazy evangelicals who want to bring about the Rapture.

        If you accept bribes to look the other way, you do that always.

        I mean, it’s just that for a few decades the poorer side of most conflicts was both usually plain worse and usually unable to negotiate (say, DPRK vs South Korea …).

        It was very convenient to hide the mechanism where Israel, Saudi Arabia and Turkey are on the “good” side.

      Biden is actually doing the genocide. Kushner is just flapping his lips. If we were talking about Americans starving instead of Palestinians, no one would be making excuses for Biden. But it’s brown people overseas, so it’s just an unpleasant fact we need to make peace with.
