    Ah yes the defining moment of Palestine, not the Gaza Genocide but the annexation of Jerusalem. Luckily Biden has stopped all israeli annexation of the West Bank and your argument isn’t a dishonest deflection.

      In past negotiations Israel was willing to return almost all of the settled land, and swap additional land to make up for around 98% percent of the 1967 borders, grant return to many Palestinians to come to Israel, as well as financially support those returning to the West Bank and Gaza, and agreed to halve Jerusalem. The negotiations still failed because the two sides couldn’t agree on monuments in Jerusalem, like Al-Aqsa/The Temple Mount.

      It’s not a deflection, it’s the single most important item of negotiation between the two sides, and Trump has done more long term damage by taking an official stance on that issue than any other president in US history has caused in the Israel/Palestine conflict.
