Did fucking Donald Trump just help accomplish what Biden refused to the last one and half years?
Gonna wait to see how this plays out, but a pause, maybe an end to the carnage is in sight. Trauma, grief, and oppression will remain even if the ceasefire holds
"What is abundantly clear, however, is that Joe Biden and Antony Blinken’s repeated claims that “they can’t tell Israel what to do” were just as bogus as their detractors have repeatedly claimed"

@Captain_Jack_Sparrow @adamsaidsomething i dont about nothing but i dont think it is what it seems.
american politics is the easiest thing in the world to analyze and yet everyone always misses the mark. the only question is who got paid by who.
trump hates netanyahu, but th fact of the matter is trump has taken over $300m from the adelsons. thats why he delivered for israel like no other in his first term.
this time around miriam has tasked him with getting the west bank.
any word on west bank details with respect to this ceasefire? bc last i checked, the entire west bank was under seige as well (and we arent even talking about the PA yet).
Gaza has taken such an unfathomable pounding the last 15 months that a ceasefire is like putting a bandaid on an amputated limb. they'll come back to it later and pick up right where they left off.

@Captain_Jack_Sparrow they are also the reason that trump outlawed outline gambling in his first term. because the sheldons get their money from casinos.
oh also the reason for trump scrapping the foreign income tax... bc a lot of their money comes from chinese casinos.
again, always follow the money. you'll be amazed by how utterly boring american politics is.

We might never know what was said or agreed behind closed doors, but it appears that unexpected pressure on Netanyahu trom the incoming Trump administration combined with a slight shift in domestic Israeli political landscape contributed to the ceasefire deal, obviously too early to tell if Israel will uphold its end of the deal. Some political analysts have suggested that Trump wants this mess ended so he can focus on consolidating power at home

I suspect that both the arseholes in America (Biden and Trump) agreed to pull the plug on netanyahu's genocide at this point in time, so they can both claim credit.
Biden could have ended the slaughter of Gaza after a week, but he's a zionist and an anti-Palestinian, so he waited until his last month in office.
