Just a little factoid for you: there wasn't a war at the time, you know. The point was that Trump was all for Israel no matter what and would be multiple more if he was in office now.
Cheers.
There is always a war on Palestine by Israel. You think everything started on October 2023?
Here’s one of many https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_2019_Gaza%E2%80%93Israel_clashes
Yes, and Trump did exactly what to try to mitigate those circumstances?
It was an oversimplification, but the point was that Trump broke a longstanding policy of trying to display some semblance of neutrality by moving the embassy to Jerusalem, even as Zionists continued to exhibit these behaviors. To the extent Trump was given a chance to indicate his policy on the conflict, he sided against the Palestinians. It wasn't much compared to what faces Gaza now, but given the context of the activity of the time, it's the best indicator we have to go on.
The point is both likely candidates are going to be unreasonably friendly to the Zionists, probably equally bad in real terms. Biden has said empty words about Israel maybe perhaps not doing things right, and I suspect Trump wouldn't even say such things, but the difference in rhetoric may be more anti-Palestinian with Trump, but the core substance of the situation will likely be the same either way.
It absolutely positively sucks that we have to face the reality of one of two evils and have to settle for selecting the lesser of the evils, but to stand on principle and sit things out will do nothing to advance your principles but compromise many other principles you may hold dear.
