acknowledge any of the progress he’s made though

No. Prior to Gaza, though Im very critical of him, I did acknowledge a few things. Once he prioritized additional money/weapons and refused a ceasefire while bypassing Congress to allocate more weapons, despite what Israel was doing, and pledging unwavering support. Any progress prior to that is irrelevant. Shipping containers had a higher priority than the lives of Palestinians,

they don’t need our glide bombs to commit a genocide

While true, without access to US weapons, including white phosphorous which is restricted under international humanitarian law, it would be much harder to accomplish.

    I disagree, I think it would be easier. I think they'd probably starve them all. Nothing short of UN sanctions could stop them.

    People call it a siege, but its not a real one. It could be. Humans require 2000 calories a day, roughly.

    And WP is frequently used in smoke applications, where it is permitted. It's not completely banned. While I won't say they aren't misusing it to cause fear and suffering, it is a common tool employed by armies for use outside of deadly munitions.

    At any rate, thanks for answering. I understand better.
