He made no attempt. The constant and unwavering message from his press secretaries was that Israel had a right to defend itself, while pouring money and arms into the massacres. Reagan ended one with a single call, Biden could have too but chose not to.

I don’t think you followed the news very closely.

Are you saying that the Biden administration didn't give the genocide its full throated support? Or that they didn't provide the arms, funding and propaganda for the genocide? Or that Reagan didn't end a massacre with a single call?

The first.

That is completely false. I watched virtually every press briefing, they never opposed it in any way, and to claim that they did is a lie.

‘They’ is not being monitored closely. Initially it stood for genocide (something that has a high standard of proof in the ICC). Now ‘they’ stands for anything Israel did post October seventh.

It was genocide from day one, in speech and in action.

Not in speech. Moreover, Hamas was/is a legitimate target.

The Israeli cabinet spoke about flattening Gaza from day 1 and you're a genocide apologist.

I am careful with language. War crime and ethnicity cleansing have been established by now.

I published a presentation in early Nov 23 detailing genocidal speech and action, which was common from ministerial level to media and soldiers on the ground. Israel had ample forewarning of Oct 7, ignored it & used friendly fire to increase casualty numbers as a pretext for long planned genocide.

Amichai Eliyahu announced in early Nov that nuking Gaza was an option. Nissim Vaturi wrote that Israel's goal was "erasing the Gaza Strip from the face of the earth." Netanyahu referred to Palestinians as Amalek later that month, a nation ancient Israelis wiped out.

Yoav Gallant, Oct 9 announced a complete siege: "There will be no electricity, no food, no water, no fuel. Everything is closed. We are fighting human animals and we will act accordingly." Textbook genocidal speech. Bezalel Smotrich called all 2m Gazan residents Nazis 2 days later.
