"This"

Wrong. This is just an attempt to make Netanyahu the problem. To pick him out, to say that the zionist occupation was good and fine but he ruined it, to ignore the reality of decades of apartheid and colonization and settler violence against Palestinians. They're doing this too little too late because there's a problem, too many liberals have seen through the illusion and propaganda and see the genocide, this threatens the whole project. So just blame it all on the current guy then when he's out of power they can say he was corrupt and under indictment and things were bad then but are good now.

Thinking back on it, it completely makes sense. For a second I thought this could be the start of the US going the Ukraine route with Israel, but it's far too big of an investment for them to just set aside. This is definitely an attempt to keep this genocidal ideology going with a fresh paint job

Yep they just want to put the genocide back in the basement for a few years till the heat dies down.

Not years, just until the next admin gets in. Until then, this will be bad, mean, scary, out of control (notice the attempt at naturalising the unstable fascistic behaviours!!) Zionism, and once the new guy is in it'll be good Zionism. Any bloody gains made by Israel will be "tended" to by the new, good Zionists because "well we cannot trust the hamas antisemetics with this property"

Remember that the “liberal zionist” administration of Golda Meir almost used 13 nukes in 1973 war.

For reason I find how he refers to Trump in second person throughout extremely cringe.
