But did he propose it? Did he actually go up and say he wants Gaza cleared out with a Biden resort in its place? Did he share an AI video of gaudy gold statues and bikini clad women on the beach?

I agree that Biden's stance on Israel/Palestine was terrible but Trump is clearly doing and saying these things out of greed and personal enrichment without any regard for human rights.

Edit: not entertaining any more replies from bad faith arguments. I agree with the fundamental truth that Biden is a centrist and had a large part in Trump becoming president again but the additional minutae re: Gaza is what foreign actors like Russia really want most of all - to splinter the left even more than it already is. We can't let perfection get in the way of progress. We'll just continue to sit here and bicker amongst each other while Republicans continue to steamroll everyone, including Palestinians.

So your problem is merely the optics? That biden had better optics for his support of genocide? That makes him better how??

Like he knew fully well what the endgame was and didn't flinch, but I guess he wasn't as gauche as boasting about how he personally profits from it...

...Man, if I didn't know better I'd assume this post was satire.
