This commission is just making the far-right’s panties wet. This non-sense, delaying and watering down many environmental policies. The inhuman anti-immigration stuff. It is saddening really.

I agree with most that Edric pointed out.

Most importantly to add is, when and what was the reason he said this.

In Europe, many countries blindly supported Israel in the past as well, but now they show more nuance.

We (at least I) don’t really know if Biden’s view has changed in any way, but as you and Edric point out it has been over 30 years. Even a slight change could make this quote not relevant for his current stance.

I agree that Biden’s response shows very little concern for the Palestinians, which fits right in to any other US president’s view in the conflict. I think it’s deplorable, but I see a little hope in Blinken’s trip with the other Arab states and at least came to the conclusion for a fighting pauses.

Thanks for the source, but I think it is weird to drop a decades old quote with a recent picture. Especially during the complications of the conflict right now. It feels indigenous without a further context or reason why this is relevant?

Let me be clear that I think the international community should get involved and stop this non-proportional response from Israel (and in any case this never ending conflict) and that the US has a significant leverage over Israel.
