    I mean, Biden absolutely is wishy washy.

    But he also reversed Trump’s policy of saying West Bank settlement is legal, and sanctioned violent Israeli settlers.

    Obviously Gaza’s really bad, but what’s happened and happening in the West Bank is also arguably ethnic cleansing. Chasing Palestinians off their land. Trump’s a fan.

      But he also reversed Trump’s policy of saying West Bank settlement is legal, and sanctioned violent Israeli settlers.

      Israel announced this month that they are authorizing the creation of increased settlements in the West Bank.

      If Biden used the power of the United States to stop this and to undo the existing illegal settlements then he would deserve credit. He will never choose to do this though. This is because Biden, and all mainstream Democrats and Republicans, are Zionists who believe Israel should not be forcibly prevented from expanding its current borders.

      Trump is worse. But mainstream politicians are also horrific. It is equivalent to the choice between the gradualist death by a thousand cuts used by John Roberts vs the immediate exercise of power used by Samuel Alito. Either way, liberty and morality will be destroyed.

      We need to demand better as American citizens. No one else can correct the United States but us
