I've got to give Biden and his administration a lot of credit for putting a lot more pressure on Israel as of late and not just giving them a free pass. Of course, I'd like much further steps as a leftist and all, but I understand that international politics is a very complex situation and it isn't so easy to just make the moral call. I appreciate how this may very well become the new status quo, and hope this leads to better treatment of Palestinians and ending rhetoric making them identical to Hamas, as well as not just giving Israel's government free reign to do whatever they feel like in retaliation.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
