The former US official stressed that Trump wasn’t specific in his appeal to Netanyahu and could well back “residual” IDF activity in Gaza, so long as Jerusalem has officially ended the war.

There's another thing that's of course never talked about.Not Tel Aviv but Jerusalem.
No, it shouldn't and I find it appalling that more and more people advocate for its liquidation.What is happening with UNRWA is disgusting. UN relief Is the only part of the UN that does some good. The rest of the organization should be burned down
Tbf I understand why someone would have that view after the absolute mockery the US and Israel have made of the UN for decades.No, it shouldn't and I find it appalling that more and more people advocate for its liquidation.
Reformed? Yes, absolutely, starting with the abolition of this unjust stupid veto right at the UNSC. But ending one of the few good things that came out of WWII which despite its profound flaws, maintained a semblance of order?
The world is truly going mad.
It doesn't lie in the UN but in how the most powerful nations are defiling it.Tbf I understand why someone would have that view after the absolute mockery the US and Israel have made of the UN for decades.
Yes. Unfortunately, I don't see any realistic way of reforming it that doesn't lead to the US dismantling it completely.It doesn't lie in the UN but how the most powerful nations are defiling it.
The very same nation that founded it.
The UN is taking the same path as its predecessor, the League of Nations, with people seemingly happy to bury it.Yes. Unfortunately, I don't see any realistic way of reforming it that doesn't lead to the US dismantling it completely.
“Oh God, I swear — she’s my mother! I didn’t know it was her!” Abed Bardini sobbed as he leaned over his mother, Samira, cradling her head in his arms. Fellow Red Crescent medics tried to console him.
It needs serious reformation. The victors of the old world order, post-WW2, retain a veto. But the G7 of which three of these nations are a apart represents now less than the BRICS of which the other two nations with a veto and perm membership on the security council sit.No, it shouldn't and I find it appalling that more and more people advocate for its liquidation.

https://www.ynetnews.com/article/syvgkxb11jxGovernment officials called to terminate any ties with Haaretz newspaper after its publisher, Amos Schocken, called Palestinian terrorists "freedom fighters."
During a Haaretz conference in London, Schocken criticized the Israeli government, claiming "It dismisses the costs [to] both sides for defending the settlements while fighting the Palestinian freedom fighters that Israel calls 'terrorists.'" He further accused the Netanyahu government of “imposing a cruel apartheid regime” on the Palestinian Arab population and usurping lands supposedly designated for the establishment of a Palestinian state.

They've, predictably, de facto annexed the northern part of Gaza. The only question is what becomes of everything South of it.Israeli army to remain in Gaza ‘for many years’: Smotrich
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has said that “Gaza must be reoccupied”.
“The Israeli army will remain in the Gaza Strip for many years to ensure security,” Smotrich said, in an interview with Israel’s Makor Rishon newspaper.
“The army will maintain operational security control in the long term in Gaza to achieve the objectives of the war and to prevent Hamas from recovering.
“In my estimation, a political settlement will be reached by the end of the year,” he added.

The Golan Heights are long gone. Trump made sure of it and Biden never reversed the decision, telling you everything you need to know.And the West Bank and the Golan Heights.....
The attitude of the West has become a weird one to explain. I had initially put it down to brutal realpolitik (Israel=ally, Palestinians=unimportant). However, after more than 12 months of this horror, you have to flip the question and ask whether, even from that cynical standpoint, Israel is really of such strategic value that it warrants the squandering of any remaining moral capital that the West retained after Iraq. I could try to ascribe it to the effects of Israeli wooing of the US and European political class and specific circumstances (US election cycle, UK exhaustion after self-destruction since 2016, France’s fragile political situation, Germany’s post-WWII demons). But, ultimately, you have to conclude that the reason that 200 people dying in floods in Spain is a tragedy (which it is of course) while the killing of at least 45,000 people on the southern shore of the same sea is treated as a kind of unpleasant background noise in public consciousness, is that the latter are (largely) of a religious background that the West at best barely tolerates and in many cases actively despises. It’s an ugly look.The Golan Heights are long gone. Trump made sure of it and Biden never reversed the decision, telling you everything you need to know.
The West Bank has been under unprecedented attack for more than a year with the full support and complicity of the US. That swiss cheese will have more holes than cheese in a couple of months at this rate and there's absolutely no one and nothing will to stop the Israeli indoctrinated psychopaths.
I'm absolutely desperate, to be frank. I'm witnessing the greatest car crash of our lifetime with a lot of people either shrugging it off or cheering on.
I knew it was going to be bad one year ago and predicted most of what we're seeing right now. But never in my wildest nightmares I could imagine that it would be this bad. Not only the shockingly lack of any kind of empathy from the western countries but also their relentless support of the most documented genocide in human history.
I'm absolutely appalled by the stance of otherwise many great posters on this forum. They all seem to glitch when it comes to this topic.
I didn't appreciate how the institutional racism in the West was so deeply embedded until now. I can't fathom the dimensions and consequences of this grotesque, tragic farce playing out before our eyes anymore. I don't even see the point of posting in this thread anymore. Every post about what's been done to the Palestinian people is just pain.
Its clear they're waiting for this to die down (or for all the Palestinians to die off) before resuming normalisation talks. The Kingdom couldn't care less, they're just concerned with the optics right now, particularly the anger and disgust from folk all over the Arab world, and within their own nation.Saudi Arabia has called Israel's actions in Gaza a Genocide.
Speaking on stage at an investment conference in Riyadh, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud said Israeli actions in northern Gaza could only be described as a form a genocide that was feeding a cycle of violence.He reiterated the kingdom's position that it would not recognise Israel without a Palestinian state, adding on that proposed step, Saudi Arabia is "quite happy to wait until the situation is amenable," before moving ahead with normalisation."We look at just what's happening now in north (Gaza) where we have a complete blockade of any access for humanitarian goods coupled with a continued military assault without any real pathway for civilians to find shelter, to find safe zones, that can only be described as a form of genocide," he said. "It is certainly against humanitarian law, international humanitarian law, and is feeding a continuing cycle of violence."

Agreed. Clumsy wording in the first sentence of my post.It's not weird but plain racism, in its ugliest form.
The ones who don't value these peoples' death never valued their lives to begin with.

I personally don't buy this idea of them locking talks behind the condition of there being a Palestinian state. They were all too happy to pursue relations prior to a year ago, when the Israelis were still killing, stealing and oppressing.
I think there is a certain type of people that think of themselves as sober, serious adults (unlike the childish left) who denies this stuff because the Atlantic or Vox or whatever tell them to. So it's good that there are less places to run to now.

Don't mention it, it was a great post.Agreed. Clumsy wording in the first sentence of my post.
