Israel's latest massacre, Jack. We can argue all day long about whether the US should or shouldn't arm Israel (it was my understanding that the type of weapons sent in the last 6-9 months are different than what has been used against Palestinians, so they can't be used against Palestinians) but no one in the US gave instructions to bomb anywhere. And many of us have hope that once the US election is over Biden will finally dope-slap Netanyahu and compel some compliance with his wishes that they form a cease fire.

Netanyahu has made a calculation about the US election - if Trump is elected, nothing bad happens to him. If he misbehaves and kills Palestinians he satisfies his hard right coalition partners and stays out of jail. Once it ends and his government is dissolved he is bound to end up with his trials completed and a prison sentence, so why not keep the war going?
