I’m aware of it, but unless or until the Oval Office changes hands, it’s just rhetoric.
And, what ever happened to nuance? Whenever someone on the left is stuck having to answer a question whose answer they don’t want to give, it’s nuance and grey areas and whatnot. Why do you suddenly find manichaeism appealing?
The US is letting in desperate people by the millions. So there’s no reason Egypt can’t as well. If they’re short of money I’m sure some local sheiks can clean out their couch cushions for a few billion in the name of Arab brotherhood, yes?
Oh, that’s right! The rest of the Arab world cares as little or less about the Palestinians as Israel does. Oh well.
Tell me then why you’re always making excuses for criminals. Some thug gets shot while trying to rob someone, for example, and you take his side and demand no one be allowed to defend themselves.
“You might as well appeal against the thunder-storm as against these terrible hardships of war. They are inevitable, and the only way the people of Atlanta can hope once more to live in peace and quiet at home, is to stop the war, which can only be done by admitting that it began in error and is perpetuated in pride.”
“Biblical”? Not even close. You’re a sheltered and privileged intellectual – as are most of the Lefty ruling class. You’re used to being insulated from life’s unpleasantness and you’ll make any sort of moral or intellectual betrayal to make it stop. Hamas is counting on that. They don’t care about the children of Gaza at all. They’re happy to make them suffer as much as possible to manipulate people like you.
