Listening to Charlie Sykes and Bill Kristol because I was honestly curious what 'woke' Kristol thinks about Israel/Palestine today. Obviously I didn't expect him to have gone Squad-style pro-Palestinian.
And nope He said he was glad Biden was taking the line he is taking and would have been very upset about his Biden vote, retrospectively, if Biden had done anything else. I strained my ears for a hint of what he thinks the 'right answer' would be at this point.
I think he thinks the solution is for the surrounding Arab countries to have taken in the Palestinians decades ago. So, anyway, Israel is not to be blamed for the structural insanity of the situation and just keep on keeping on.
I guess it says something that neocons - inventive lot! - just don't have much to say about the situation. Just some rhetoric to massage the really awful bits and that's it. That's the plan.
I did find it notable he was eager to emphasize that the US bears no responsibility for this situation. Not Trump's fault, not Biden's fault. That's a 'tell', in a neocon, of just how out of ideas he feels he is here.
