8 months of Washington asking “what’s the plan?” has served to obscure the fact that “the plan” is exactly what we see: death, displacement, starvation, revenge. And then more of that. Our foreign policy priesthood is incapable of acknowledging this.
Giving Israel every single thing it wanted for 7 months bought Biden exactly zero goodwill from Israel supporters, and meanwhile the left will never forgive him. Terrific work.
There really is no point engaging with any of this shit when the whole point of it is heads I win, tails you lose, because I am holding the microphone. The appropriate answer is mockery and laser focus on what’s important. This has been proven over and over, decade after decade.
Obv. these leaks are calculated to distance Biden from his own policy, but instead he comes off as weak and inept. Fuming, swearing and complaining about someone behind their back but not having the backbone to actually stand up to them - that's not a picture of strong leadership
Say whatever you want about the merits of the ICJ's ruling, but one thing is clear to me: this is a but a preview of the international condemnation that Israel will face if it continues treating the Palestinians this way
Fain is so cool that it’s hard to really know what to say about him lol. Like oh yeah there’s this guy who’s correct on everything and is also super powerful and effective. Good news guys we were right all along.
Biden White House is doubling down on all the bad policies -- foregrounding Saudi-Israeli anti-Iran coalition, sidelining Palestinian negotiations -- that created the current catastrophe. We're in a bad place and things are going to get much worse.
