Mike Huckabee suggested any future Palestinian state should be carved out of ‘a Muslim country’
Mike Huckabee, the US ambassador to Israel, has said that the US is no longer pursuing the goal of an independent Palestinian state, marking what analysts describe as the most explicit abandonment yet of a cornerstone of US Middle East diplomacy.
Asked during an interview with Bloomberg News if a Palestinian state remains a goal of US policy, he replied: “I don’t think so.”
The former Arkansas governor chosen by Donald Trump as his envoy to Israel went further by suggesting that any future Palestinian entity could be carved out of “a Muslim country” rather than requiring Israel to cede territory.
I agree Biden could have done more, but that doesn’t make him responsible. At worst he was a doddering old man whose views on Israel were formed before any of us were born and never updated for the shit they’ve been pulling since the 90s.
You have to understand, for folks of Biden’s generation, Israel is the victim. They’ve never heard of things like “Punitive Demolition”:

Or are aware that while doing that, Israel actually killed an American:

His actions and support absolutely makes him responsible. He saw what was happening and gave Israel unwavering support.

Hell he was even doing it as Obamas VP

Republicans were better at stopping conflicts than Biden…

In line with my above comment:
“At worst he was a doddering old man whose views on Israel were formed before any of us were born and never updated for the shit they’ve been pulling since the 90s.”
the truth is, there is no “lesser evil.” And as we argue over this and obsess over the differences between administrations that share the same genocidal goals but employ different tactics, the pile of Palestinian and Lebanese bodies only grows
How does saying oh it’s okay that he let all those people die, he was just old and still wanted to be the one in charge absolve him of anything?
Why do you try so hard to protect his image?
He didn’t “let” anything. Bibi flat out wasn’t listening to anyone, Biden was not special in that regard.
The only way you’re going to stop the genocide in Gaza is to invade Israel and make them stop. Nobody has the balls to do it.
Since day one, the Biden administration has upheld Trump’s most controversial moves: keeping the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem, recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, failing to reopen the PLO mission in Washington, and desperately seeking normalization agreements between Israel and its Arab neighbors that erase Palestinians entirely. While Biden restored funding to UNRWA, his administration promptly cut it again under pressure from an Israeli smear campaign.
You see how that’s worse right? Biden gave unconditional support and assistance to someone actively working against him and ignoring him.
Or was he just too senial to know he was getting taken advantage of while being president and actively campaigning?
Oh, it’s definitely worse. Biden was absolutely blind to what Bibi was doing to him.
mainstream media coverage has focused more on Biden’s toothless rhetoric and supposed “frustration” with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu than on his administration’s support for Israel’s war effort. In doing so, it created the impression that a change in Israeli tactics was always just one more harsh rebuke away, ignoring the glaring reality of U.S. complicity
And yet still you pedanticly defend Biden for his atrocious actions and manner he handled the situation.
Manner, yes, but I wouldn’t call weak action “atrocious”. He got owned by Bibi, not sure why he allowed that.
But the blame for the genocide is ALL on Bibi and Likud. Our fault is failing to recognize it for what it is.
You can stop giving them weapons, you can actually try something. If you think us cannot tell Israel what to do then you are blind
