On genocide, Trump will be no different from Biden

Al Jazeera  

Trump has picked ‘staunchly pro-Israel’ cadres for his administration, just like all other US presidents of the past 75 years. Here’s the “award-winning” headline, published last week in the aftermath of US President-elect Donald Trump’s diplomatic selections that, according to the Times, will “help shape President-elect Trump’s strategy” on the Middle East. “Trump’s Middle East Picks Signal Staunch Pro-Israel Policy,” the Times wrote. The headline’s second underlying inference is that any US president-elect – Democrat or Republican – would consider, let alone be capable of, embracing anything other than a “Staunch Pro-Israel Policy”. Trump, Rubio, Huckabee and Stefanik represent the slightly more blunt and profane continuum of America’s defining “kill first, think later” attitude towards the Middle East.
