US President Donald Trump is boasting of having brought peace to the Middle East, a claim that is wildly exaggerated. But he has, at least for the moment, brought an end to Israel's genocide in Gaza.

Trump's willingness to use the tools of his office to pressure Israel into accepting his terms for a ceasefire - terms quite favourable to Israel but falling short of the ambitions of its far-right government - reflects poorly on his predecessor, Joe Biden, and his 2024 presidential challenger, Kamala Harris.

It also vindicates the anti-Trump critics within the Democratic Party who implored their leaders to take a forceful stand against Israel's genocide, warning they could lose the election if they refused.

Liberals on Reddit were explaining why Biden needed to continue the genocide to win. You could oppose both while still recognizing that Trump is worse than Biden albeit barely.

I'm saying we shouldn't be supportive of Trump because he condemns Liberals. I'm saying we should condemn Liberals without that qualifier. Please don't let the machine get to you. We need you.
