From Biden to Trump: US policy renders Palestinian lives expendable in Gaza

Under both Biden and Trump, US-backed Israeli assaults have killed thousands in Gaza—with Trump’s post-ceasefire escalation intensifying what rights groups call genocide. Analysts at Doha’s Global Security Forum attribute unwavering US support to domestic politics: courting Jewish-American and evangelical votes. Netanyahu exploits this, empowering far-right racists to pursue what historian Ilan Pappé terms a Zionist “empire-building” project, completing the 1948 ethnic cleansing. While the US poses as a peace broker, its bipartisan allegiance to Israel renders Palestinian lives collateral—whether under Republican or Democratic rule. For Gaza’s besieged, the White House’s occupant changes nothing when bombs rain hourly. As Pappé warns, this isn’t just about Palestine but a regional imperial gambit with global repercussions.
