Coldhearted reporting on Gaza 'issue' by CNN
A vibes fight about Israel and Gaza
https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/27/politics/takeaways-biden-trump-debate/index.html
There is no doubt that Trump would handle the war in Gaza much differently than Biden. But how?
“Let Israel finish the job,” he told Biden, the suggestion being that the president has done too much to restrain the Israeli government and its military bombardment of Palestinians in Gaza.
Trump did not say whether he would back a Palestinian state, but did insist that Hamas’ October 7 attack inside Israel would have “never happened” if he had been in the White House at the time. He also said that Biden has ”become like a Palestinian, but they don’t like him because he’s a bad Palestinian.”
That was probably intended as a jab to suggest Biden is too deferential to the Palestinians but also too ineffectual earn their respect. It landed flat – if it landed at all.
It's fucking racist is what it is. CNN trying to cover up for Trump's racist remarks?! Is CNN that far gone they can't even spot racism, only anti-semitism.

Biden didn’t offer much himself. He talked up America’s close alliance with Israel and made special note that the US is “providing Israel with all the weapons they need and when they need them.” If he was fishing for progressive votes, there wasn’t much to bite on.
The president also talked up the ceasefire deal he spoke about a few weeks ago that has yet to materialize. (It is, by all recent accounts, a non-starter with leaders on both sides.)
The next president – be it Biden or Trump – will have a massive job to do in the region. And that’s especially true in Israel and Gaza, where when the fighting ends the US and other world powers will be called upon to negotiate some kind of peaceful path forward. But as their performances on Thursday night showed, there are no easy answers and the hard truths will be difficult to come by.
When the fighting ends... US media is directly complicit in genocide.
