    It’s pretty clear he’s not willing to actually punish them for anything. Sending ordinary American troops into a ground war for them is another thing entirely, though. Nobody’s forgotten how the last ones went, and American democracy is already teetering on the brink.

    Hamas’ known deal breaker that IDF troops would remain afterwards

    And, y’know, that’s not a ceasefire. Just thought I’d point that out.

      It sure can be. It’s one way to make sure it leads to a real peace process instead of Hamas giving up the remaining hostages and then getting nothing but a couple days of no fighting.

      And yeah, that’s why I’m worried. I’m not sure Biden realizes there’s a line there. He’s sure not doing anything to keep from approaching that line.
