Sorry to beat the same drum in a short amount of time, but this is where thinking Biden wasn't doing enough has led. Perfect being the enemy of the good and all. Explicit calls for ethnic cleansing were at least not on the table with the last administration.

I'm so fucking sick of people not understanding what the words they're lobbing mean. Of course Palestinians are Semitic. Everyone in the Middle East with minor exceptions is. And having had Palestinian friends over the years, they aren't against Israel existing as a concept; they'd just like some (proportion varies) of their land back and to be treated with dignity. I don't see that as a huge ask.
