Netanyahu is under pressure to keep his coalition government intact. Two far-right partners have threatened to bolt in protest at any deal they deem to spare Hamas. A centrist partner, ex-general Benny Gantz, wants the deal considered. Hamas has provisionally welcomed the Biden initiative.

    I respect your position, but there is a reason in airplanes you’re instructed to put your own mask on in case of an emergency before assisting others. I feel for the Palestinian people, but a fascist America is so much worse - both for me personally and the world at large and especially for my children.

    An America lost to fascism is liable to eventually engulf the world in genocide and fire.

      I don’t think you understand, this moment, this slaughter of Palestinians, it is the announcement of a new world order for the western world. A new era of western governments turning inwards and enacting massive amounts of violence towards their own people.

      There is only one correct response to that, and it is to treat it as a red line. Failing to do so is catastrophic. Letting Biden win without having to deal with this is incredibly dangerous and is a classic liberal/centrist perspective of appeasing the forces of fascism until it is too late.
