    Yeah, Israel knows not a damn thing will happen now that Trump and MAGA got back into power. All they have to do is wait it out for a few months.

      I doubt Israel feels the need to wait out the months. Nothing was happening before, even when Israel crossed “red lines”. Here’s an impact snapshot for Nov. 5th. With Biden in power the situation right now is:

      • 345,000 people are at the UN’s highest level of starvation (Level 5 - catastrophic). 876,000 are at Level 4 - emergency.

      • 87% of housing units are completely destroyed or seriously damaged. Average space for people in shelters is 1.5sq meters (5sq feet), less than half the 3.5sq meters (11.5sq feet) considered the humane minimum.

      Remember the outrage when the rocket hit the parking lot outside Al-Ahli hospital a few days into the war, with both sides claiming they’d never attack a hospital? Now 19 of 36 hospitals hospitals are completely out of service, and the remaining 17 are only partially functional. 130 ambulances have been damaged or destroyed.

      The change Israel has announced post-election is plans to bring Israeli sovereignty to the West Bank, calling the Trump presidency “an opportunity”.

      Trump’s not in office yet. Biden could begin complying with the law now, and stop approving arms for Israel.

        They’ll be out of office and out of public jobs for the rest of their lives in a couple of weeks, there’s not a single reason for them to do anything against Israel anymore

          Might help their case in a future trial at The Hague. Or they could just stop arming genocide because it’s the only moral thing to do.
