Biden, Trump squabble over bragging rights as Gaza genocide grinds on

Alameen Templeton
The world’s second- and third-biggest scumbags, Joe Biden and Donald Trump, are bickering over bragging rights after scumbag supremo Benjamin Netanyahu backed down in Lebanon and agreed to a ceasefire.
The entire US media is enthralled with Team Trump vs Oval Office hissy fit while Palestinians in northern Gaza have not seen a single aid truck for over 50 days.
A million dead?
As Trump prepares to inherit the genocide baton from Biden’s shaky, blood-soaked hands, the Palestine Chronicle’s Gaza Genocide counter has ticked over 44 282 deaths, with 104 880 wounded and the “missing” counter stuck on a grim 10 000. Demographic experts expect the final mortality figure to be anywhere between 135 000 and nearly one million dead, depending on how rehabilitation conditions pan out once the US-administered atrocities come to an end, inshaAllah.
Washington’s thirst for blood, however, has not been slaked. Even as Biden prepares to vacate the Oval Office, he’s calling on Ukraine to lower its conscription age to 18 to increase the number of sacrificial lambs for his doomed war there, Associated Press reports.
In Syria, another “Biden War” contrived while Genocide Joe was still VP under Barrack Obama, the Yankee jihad outfit Hayat Tahrir as-Shams (HTS) tried launching a major offensive Wednesday, attacking villages around Aleppo in the northwest, before being roundly beaten and forced back by Russian and Syrian government forces, War Monitor reports.
Nazi state objects
Unbelievably, the Nazi state’s latest foreign minister Gideon Saar is attacking the International Criminal Court Thursday for daring to approve arrest warrants for Netanyahu and his erstwhile defence minister Yoav Gallant. Tel Aviv filed its objections with the court Wednesday.
Predictably, the Lawnmowers couldn’t control themselves and, true to form, violated the ceasefire on its first day, firing on civilians returning Wednesday to their homes in villages along Lebanon’s southern border.
Settlers from Israel’s northern regions were outraged when social media and then mainstream media were flooded with images of the Lebanese returning while they remain huddled in shelters in Tel Aviv, too scared to go back to their stolen farms.
300 defence lines wait for Israel
Hezbollah revealed Wednesday night it had prepared 300 lines of defence beyond the Litani River that is the dividing line between the demilitarised buffer zone stretching to the Israeli border and the rest of Lebanon.
Hezbollah said Wednesday night on War Monitor: “he resistance’s defensive plans are based on the Buqa’i defense system. The resistance has prepared more than 300 defense lines south of the Litani River, and each spot was at the highest level of readiness in terms of personnel, equipment, and capabilities. What happened in Al-Bayada and Al-Khiam is the best evidence.
“The Islamic Resistance Operations Room confirms that its fighters from various military specialties will remain fully prepared to deal with the Israeli enemy’s ambitions and attacks, and that their eyes will continue to follow the movements and withdrawals of the enemy’s forces beyond the borders, and their hands will remain on the trigger, in defense of Lebanon’s sovereignty and for the sake of the dignity and honor of its people.”
West Bank annexation
Now, Seymour Hirsh is reporting on his Substack blog genocidal Israel, emboldened by Trump’s election victory, is preparing for a formal annexation of Area C in the West Bank and for a final push to evict Palestinians from their remaining land.
Zionists are talking about reducing Gaza’s population by half through forced evacuation from the northern part of strip where over 75 000 people are enduring famine conditions.
Hersh reports: “Control over all of Gaza and the West Bank is the core demand of the religious right in Israel that now dominates the government.
“I was told this week by a well-informed Washington official that the Israeli leadership will formally annex the West Bank in the very near future—perhaps in two weeks—in the hope that the decisive step will end, once and for all, any talk of a two-state solution and will convince some in the skeptical Arab world to reconsider financing the planned reconstruction of Gaza.
“Arab communities in the West Bank have been under increasingly violent pressure from Israeli police and armed settler attacks have become a sad staple of life.”
Two-state problem
Russia’s official Tass news agency says US State Department Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel told reporters last week that statements by Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich about preparations for annexation of parts of the West Bank in 2025 ran counter to the two-state solution and were not conducive to peace.
Earlier, Smotrich said he had ordered preparations for West Bank annexation in 2025 following Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election, Middle East Eye reports.
All the plans and actions run in complete contradiction to findings earlier this year by the International Court of Justice that Israel’s murderous settler actions in the West Bank amount to theft. It ordered all land and facilities must be handed back to the Palestinians and compensation must be paid.
That’s not stopping the gangster takeover of the White House. Mike Walz, Trump’s pick for national security adviser – he’s threatened the ICC with a “strong response” come January and opposes a two-state solution – says the Lebanon ceasefire is all Trump’s doing: “Everyone’s coming to the table because of President Trump,” he bragged on X Wednesday night.
Mass murder bragging rights
“His resounding victory sent a clear message to the rest of the world that chaos won’t be tolerated. I’m glad to see concrete steps towards deescalation in the Middle East.”
He made no mention of the HTS incursions in Syria or the deteriorating condition of Ukraine’s army or the Gaza genocide – three major conflicts and sources of mass murder that could be ended simply by cutting off US arms supplies.
“I would just point out that you know you’ve done a really good thing when other people take credit for it,” Biden’s security advisor and genocide overseer Jake Sullivan fired back, according to Associated Press.
