President in effect endorses ethnic cleansing of territory before hosting meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu
Sorry to beat the same drum in a short amount of time, but this is where thinking Biden wasn’t doing enough has led. Perfect being the enemy of the good and all. Explicit calls for ethnic cleansing were at least not on the table with the last administration.
right, but i’m saying the Dems allowed this to happen by spending four decades compromising with Republicans and allowing them to shift the Overton window rightward more and more. They spent all that time making decisions based on what was feasible, rather than doing the hard thing and making decisions based on what was right. Reagan set the trap, Clinton walked right into it, and the Dems have done little but accept their lot in all the years since.
