The US and Israel literally just got done trying to do the thing Trump says he wants to have another go at. Liberals who are only now discovering their deep concern for the Palestinians of Gaza are proving the point of those of us who were saying all along that they’d be up in arms about these 15 months of genocide if Trump were the public face of it.
What's wild is that some of these people, who never showed any interest in the fate of Gaza between October 2023 and January 2025, are somehow under the impression that aid just got cut off to Gaza, when the reality is that the aid spigots only just got turned on. Israel and the US are now letting in more aid in a day than they had been allowing in in entire months. It's still totally inadequate, and we need to be fighting like hell to make sure that they get the construction materials and heavy equipment they need in order to rebuild, but it's easily a 1000 % increase over 8 October 2023 - 19 January 2025. The Netzarim Corridor has been dismantled. Nothing remains of the US-Israeli pledge that no-one would be allowed to return to northern Gaza. The US and Israel humiliatingly had to agree to a deal that they'd both rejected in December 2023. The reality on the ground in Gaza is at best quite inconsistent with an intention to resume the genocide immediately.
