When a massive percentage of the civilian population is dead, when barely one brick still stands on another, when a nation has been traumatised, starved, impoverished for generations, when you both armed and defended this barbarity, then you don’t get to take credit for anything, let alone peace.

Um, might things have ended more swiftly if Trump ( or Biden for that matter) had restricted arms sales to Israel?

It doesn't appear to be some sort of stunning back down. The tax on unrealised gains was removed but an additional tax on accounts higher than $10,00m has been added.
The press turn everything into a horse race / winners & losers / "backflips" Taxing unrealised gains was problematic.

What sane people target children or look the other way when someone else does it? This inhuman, sadistic horror must be stopped and the people responsible for it brought to justice.

No excuses anymore. It is not self-defence, and it started decades before October 2023.

Israeli quadcopters shooting children.

And our government continues to materially supporting Israel every day.

Even as Israel rejects a two state solution, votes to fully annex the West Bank, and murders more doctors, nurses, journalists, children.

And our government continues to assist it.
