They had Trump's own words to back up this view. I was very pessimistic and I remain somewhat pessimistic, but I also held out hope that the war crimes angle would give Trump real leverage on Israel.
It would be just like Trump to tell Bibi: "I'm your staunchest supporter, but you need to stop the killing of women and children, and this apartheid situation, or I won't be able to sell this to the American people. Help me out, here, friend."
I'm not sure what the solutions are, because support of one side means death and possible extinction to the other - or possibly both - side(s). I'm not a fan of the Zionist project, but I know that destruction of Israel as a sovereign state would mean great destruction and millions killed. I know that the preservation of Israel, as currently conceived, would mean great destruction and millions killed.
There is hope that a middle path, possibly along the lines of the Abraham Accords could be the best, albeit imperfect solution, for at least a while. The Accords were abandoned as soon as Biden took office. Both sides will have to hold their noses to get to a better place.
Israel will have to change its ways, which is no small matter. Much of what we don't like about Israel is the result of being a nation under siege for generations. Much of what we don't like about Israel's foes is the result of the ruthless, bloodthirsty force used to (re-)create Israel in the first place.
Both sides see the other side as inhumanly ruthless and cruel. There's no direct solution to the atrocities of the past by both sides. How far back do you want to go to find first causes? 40 years? 80 years? 100 years? 1000 years? There's plenty for everybody to be upset about. That doesn't do anything for women and children just trying to survive. Finding a way to STOP the atrocities in the future may be our only hope.
