Opinion: If Trump tries to take over Gaza, Palestinians will die where they stand
5 February 2025 21:26 GMT
We have all called out former US President Joe Biden’s role in acting as the quartermaster general for Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza. And rightly so.
But Biden did more than enable a war to continue for 15 months. He laid the foundation for something much worse to follow. It was not just a case of impotence; it was malice aforethought.
That has now been put into words and policy by his successor, Donald Trump.
Some, particularly those who voted for Trump in the swing states, have been lulled into thinking that after the great horrors of what happened under Biden’s watch, Trump could only do better.
They were lulled into thinking that Trump was sincere in his desire to shut down the war in Gaza, even for the wrong reasons.
