biden is perhaps the most pro-israel politician and has been his entire career. It's not netanyahu specifically, it's whatever israel wants to do and what israel wants to do is up to whatever parties are currently in power there.

biden topping the bribery recipient list might play a role: https://www.opensecrets.org/industries/summary?cycle=All&ind=Q05&recipdetail=S

Isn't Joe Biden the one that has spent his whole political career famously saying "If Israel didn't exist, we'd have to create an Israel!"

A user on Reddit earlier pretty much described Israel as a US military base masquerading as a country, which I more or less agree with.

Lots of people think Israel controls America or has somehow made America it's b****. But the US can exist without Israel. Israel cannot exist without the US. I think that tells you who wears the trousers ('pants' for our American friends) in this relationship, when Israel is dependent on 70% of its arms from the US and relies on the US to save it from Iran. Israel needs the US more than the US needs Israel.

Biden certainly has a point about one thing though, no one can say there is any equivalence between Israel and Hamas. Maybe if Hamas had nuclear weapons, and one of the most technologically advanced militaries in the world, the backing of the worlds biggest superpower and an entire state apparatus at its disposal, then maybe there'd be some equivalence. But pointing out the lack of equivalence between a highly militarised state and a non-state terrorist group has got to be the most pointless thing I've ever heard.

Since when did the US government ever accuse an ally of genocide? They were standing by when Latin American juntas were murdering leftists and only gave an half-assed apology after the Cold War ended.

Israel is a settler-colonial outpost of the west. The US projects power in the Middle East through it. Indeed, Israel is ultimately a client state dependent upon the west for continued military funding and international backing. It is true that Israel has over the decades increasingly gone off the rails, but it's in a "big brother-little brother" way. Big bro (the US) may occasionally chide lil bro (Israel) in private*, but big bro never stops supporting lil bro and never stops defending lil bro when anyone criticizes him.

*Even this part is questionable, we're told through deliberate White House leaks that Biden and others occasionally chide Netenyahu in private but there isn't a ton of verification otherwise.

Exactly. Israel is an extension of US power, not the other way around, and is a tool for enforcing US policy in the region. Even John Mearsheimer seems to have trouble recognising that the US could compel Israel to seek peace if it actually wanted to, by simply cutting off arms shipments, Israel would be screwed, instead he seems to think Biden is working tirelessly to come up with some solution. The fact that the US avoids using it's leverage over Israel (when it is literally the only one that has any) is a political choice. At this point what is going to compel the US to put its attack dog back on it's leash? The US clearly has as much concern for international law as Israel does.

From a purely political point of view I dont get Biden. He seems to be pissing off both sides over this. Regardless of what your own views and beliefs are on the current goings on hes really shit the bed on this one. From a Brit point of view anyway and I dont think hes alone. Our politicians are exactly the same. Hedging their bets and upsetting everyone.

Maybe Im being unfair. I know I tend to criticise what Hamas has done and also at the same time what Netanyahu has done as well and Ive been accused a rampant genocide enabler and also a fervent antisemite for the same posts previously. Maybe thats the issue with the whole situation. While we can argue power dynamics in play and I absolutely accept that is a fair point and a big issue, this isnt a simple situation. Its far more complicated than that and ultimately I feel the only position anyone should ultimately take is one that leads to a decrease of innocent civilians dying, both Israeli and Palestinians. And on that front Biden and most of the western world have failed.

It's simple; Biden is from the warmongering Boomer/Silent Generation Neocon/Neolib generation. Also, this is par for the course with the United States's history of foreign military meddling (okay not quite, Biden is actually being MORE humanitarian than the US usually is towards foreign victims of its proxy wars)
The military industrial complex and corporate favors always play a role as well (oil, Haliburton, Israeli cybersecurity companies, etc) Biden may be more progressive than his predecessors, but he is still a corporate Democrat.

Kradek posted...
I just don't get why he won't allow himself to be on the right side of the issue. Somewhere deep down he must know how fucked up this and how fucked up he sounds. I thought he was getting better and it sounds like he's dragging himself backwards because an international court wants to rightfully hold genocidal fascist sociopaths responsible for their war crimes.

Lobbyists, corporate interests, rich donors, and the military industrial complex just to name a few. Not much war profiteering to be had by siding with Palestine.

My concern is that Haniyeh is participating in peace talks. Perhaps he would be paroled to continue them?

It is fucking wild to me that people continue to hold water for Hamas. Do you honestly believe the political leader of fucking Hamas is engaging in good faith peace talks? You can't possibly think that.

Allow me to remind you that little gems like this are contained in those "peace talks"

- Hamas freeing 33 Israeli hostages, alive or dead, in return for Israel releasing 30 children and women for each released Israeli hostage, based on lists provided by Hamas according to the earliest date of detention.

Medical workers in Israel have told the BBC that Palestinian detainees from Gaza are routinely kept shackled to hospital beds, blindfolded, sometimes naked, and forced to wear nappies a practice one medic said amounted to torture.
A whistle-blower detailed how procedures in one military hospital were routinely carried out without painkillers, causing an unacceptable amount of pain to detainees.
Another whistle-blower said painkillers were used selectively and in a very limited way during an invasive medical procedure on a Gazan detainee in a public hospital.

I think it's mostly because Bibi is responsible for the existence of hamas in Palestine.

Like, in a long, long causal chain of events that begins with his own party's statement that they can guarantee they will stay in power is by installing hamas, Netanyahu is responsible for October 7. First domino, et al.

This is a case of both sides are bad. Hamas for the constant attacks on Israel and how they handling the ceasefire talks ( 1:30 ratio of hostage exchange tells me they are ok with everyone dying to make Israel look worse than it already does).

Israel leadership and IDF for going the genocide route and effecting aid from getting into Palestine.

both have targeted civilians, so ICC placing warrants for both is appropriate, but Israel does need to be told to step down, but it will likely take another world leader going boots on the ground to stop it.

As a country we dont need them but the small pool of elites sympathetic towards and loyal to Isreal though in our country is another story. And by elites I mean the big shadowy ones within the highest tiers of our government, institutions and businesses.

That and them just being an arm of ours wouldnt have necessitated everything thats happened up till now. Both there and domestically with them cracking down on free speech from arresting and attacking peaceful protestors to passing laws that support Israel. None of these actions would make a lick of sense if they were just a tool of ours.

So when someone tells you that Israel deliberately brought Hamas to power in Gaza your response is to throw causality out the window and say forget about the past "focus on the future". You absolutely have to go back and analyse the historical context to have any understanding of what's going on, and therefore come up with a solution.

So ok, lets talk about the future. How do you defeat a political ideology? Is it by mass killing tens of thousands of civilians and dumping thousands of bodies into mass graves? Is it by systematically destroying civilian infrastructure to make Gaza unliveable? Is it by cutting off all food and water and fuel to starve millions of people?

Terrorism is like a virus. You cannot defeat a virus by attacking the host. Israel knows full well it cannot eliminate Hamas with what its doing (see the Shin Bet report). Therefore defeating Hamas is not a realistic military objective, even Israel's own military leaders know this.

You don't defeat Hamas by giving Hamas more reasons to exist. You have to create conditions on the ground which are not conducive to the political ideology of violence. But Israel has no interest in doing this and actively wants to portray Palestinians as inherently violent in order to provide a pretext for continued military occupation. They want to scatter the Palestinians in the West Bank into Jordan, and try to push Palestinians in Gaza into Egypt. Ethnically cleansing Gaza is the goal here so that they can finish consolidating Greater Israel. The US has been trying to do deals with Egypt on behalf of Israel regarding the resettlement of Palestinians in Gaza to the Egyptian Sinai since 2007.

I agree 100% and have said this exact same thing in the past. I don't mean to dismiss the past by the way. If it came across that way I genuinely apologize. I just feel like the focus should be on moving forwards. Too many posts are spent arguing the past. And while I don't disagree we should learn from the past I wish more people would spend time trying to come up with solutions rather than win an e-argument.

Trying to connect the AP to Al-Jazeera is hilarious. That way of thinking means any channel, including any of Israel's own channels, is connected to Al-Jazeera. All Al-Jazeera has to do is show any footage from that channel and bam, they are one and the same lol.

The full article is worth reading, but this part in particular... Don't know what to say.

"Sufian Abu Salah, a 43-year-old taxi driver from Khan Youis, was one of dozens of men detained during raids by Israel's army and taken to a military base for questioning.
He said soldiers carried out severe beatings during the journey and also on arrival at the base, where he was denied treatment for a minor wound on his foot, which then became infected.
My leg got infected and turned blue, and as soft as a sponge, he told the BBC.
After a week, he said, the guards took him to hospital, beating him on his injured leg on the way. Two operations to clean his wound did not work, he told the BBC.
Afterwards, they took me to a public hospital, where the doctor gave me two options: my leg or my life.
He chose his life. After they amputated his leg, he was sent back to the military base, and later released back to Gaza.
"This period was mental and physical torture, he said. I cant describe it. I was detained with two legs and now I have only one. Every now and then, I cry."

Ireland, Norway, and Spain to recognize the Palestinian State.

Israeli government response: summon the ambassadors and make them watch a video of the October atrocity.

I wonder if watching videos of a country murdering civilians will become a standard method of deciding whether their statehood should be recognised. And also how Israel would fare under such a system. Or, indeed, a lot of countries.
