How Israeli settlers are expanding illegal outposts amid Gaza war

A reminder that the Trump administration said these settlements are are perfectly legal, the Biden administration reversed this stance, and actually sanctioned violent settlers.

They may both be shit candidates, Biden may be complicit in what's happening in Gaza right now, but anyone going on about 'both sides' is an idiot.

Optics. They only sanctioned some "violent settlers", ignoring that the "israeli" state itself is responsible and letting it continue in reality.

Biden has also been bypassing congress to send "israel" weapons. He is actively supporting the genocide.

I'm not having a go, but you should probably google complicit. I don't think it means what you think it does.

Apparently so. Thought it just meant letting something happen.

He sanctioned... three settlers and two outposts. A very very tiny step in the right direction, but not the flex you think it is.
