The panel debates the murky politics surrounding the “Gaza ceasefire” and its potential for a permanent peace or as a mere short interval between two phases of a genocidal bloodletting. Ian Kummer notes that Biden with his 11th hour claims to be the author of the ceasefire has evoked only laughter and derision. After all, he had more than 15 months to stop this horrendous massacre, as Trump’s actions have demonstrated. Trump, says Kummer, was expected to be worse—were that possible—than the Democrats in facilitating the mass killing and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. Trump has a Jewish son-in-law, Jared Kushner, a Zionist, and as a real estate magnate he also has deep roots among metro NY Jewish developers, not to mention he admitted openly that he was “owned” by the Edelsons, rabid Zionists interested only in the expansion and strengthening of Israel. But Trump is after all Trump, and, as Parry reminds everyone, Trump comes first. He also leans heavily to the “transactional”, and for his own reasons he wanted and needed a peace in the Mid East. Trump is also highly unpredictable, not the kind of man the Israelis would prefer, especially when compared with Biden, who gave the Zionist entity everything it wanted and then some. Parry also believes that Trump is far smarter in his politics than most people give him credit for. There’s “method to his madness.” Ultimately, the panel agrees that while many “lefties” attacked those who refused to support the Harris ticket, Trump’s ceasefire deal confirms that he was a better choice, as the Democrats would have never pressured Netanyahu to make a real breakthrough.
