A ceasefire is a good thing, but of itself it just treats a symptom. Biden can't truthfully say we stand for "freedom, prosperity & democracy" for Palestinians unless we're willing to condemn the settlements & the occupation & are willing to withhold military support from Israel.

What do settlements have to do with “freedom, prosperity & democracy” for Gazans? Israel withdrew all settlements from Gaza in 2005 and have been met with rockets raining on their cities ever since. It is Hamas that is suppressing the freedom, prosperity & democracy of Gaza.

We're talking about the other side of the country. Buy a map.

Support BDS. Acknowledge that we're dealing with an apartheid regime. Recognize that the two state solution is dead.

I support BDS but only for businesses that exist within the settlements. I do acknowledge apartheid, though with belief it can be dismantled. I do not recognize that the two state solution is dead; in fact I am committed to it.

I guess that's what happens when a country sides with Hitler. Everybody seems to forget they part.

Biden has no courage ... He's afraid ... he allowed the Israelis to bomb all the tunnels and ammunition dumps that Hamas had (killing adults and children) before they stopped ... he's NOT an honest broker.

Wouldn’t it be so much more like a democracy if Israel gave back the land it stole from the Palestinians in 1948? Then let the Palestinians and the Israelis could govern themselves as peaceful neighbors.

Well said. Israel needs to go back to its borders and stop the occupation
