You are just regurgitating your same old BDS talking points and completely ignoring actual policy statements. You don’t have a leg to stand on when it comes to honesty.Nothing but bullshit from you ever. I don't think you have ever posted an honest word. Biden called for an immediate ceasefire and that would leave Hamas in power, and although he and Blinken said there were other ways of defeating Hamas than taking Rafah, no one in the administration has ever said what they were. Before the Michigan Muslims refused to vote for him, he was 100% in agreement with Israel that Hamas had to be defeated, and now he wants an immediate ceasefire with no specific plans for defeating Hamas in any other way.
In case there is any small part of you that may have an honest interest in the situation, Biden's worst nightmare, is that after the defeat of Hamas, there is no rational alternative to Israel taking complete control of Gaza, and if that happens during the election, it will split the Democratic Party and cost him key battleground states like Michigan and Minnesota and perhaps the election. Everything the Biden administration has said and done since the Michigan Muslims refused to vote for him in the primary has been to avoid this outcome, which is exactly the outcome he supported before the Michigan primary.
Biden and many others want to avoid a bloodbath in Rafah. Israel has yet to demonstrate it has credible plan to prevent this. There are rational plans for the future of Gaza but they are contingent on some real move towards establisjhing a state.
How is an endless occupation rational or even beneficial for the Israelis other than the far right religious extremists? It certainly isn’t for the Palestinians and it will do nothing to create conditions down the road for peace.
