The Harris-Biden Administration’s Destruction of Gaza: A Contrast to Trump’s Approach Aimed at Stability and Peace
The current devastation in Gaza is not just a tragedy; it’s a direct consequence of the Harris-Biden administration’s catastrophic failure to manage the situation. Under their watch, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have been killed, and the region has descended into chaos. This isn’t an unfortunate accident; it’s the result of an administration that lacked the foresight and political acumen to prevent such an outcome. The comparison to the previous administration only underscores the difference—a stark contrast between a presidency that managed to avoid mass slaughter and one that enabled it.
There’s been a lot of noise about Trump’s decision to move the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, with some claiming it was a flashpoint for all that’s happening now, but the relocation of the U.S. embassy was in reality a symbolic gesture with little practical impact. Israel already controlled Jerusalem, and the embassy move didn’t alter that fact. What it did was acknowledge the status quo, something the international community had long danced around. Yet, this action did not lead to the massive escalation of violence in Gaza that has unfolded under the current administration. The real issue now isn’t where an embassy is, but the bloodshed unleashed under the current administration, which failed to keep Israel’s right-wing ambitions in check.
Some argue that Trump’s peace deals with Arab states, like the Abraham Accords, abandoned the Palestinians and provided the impetus for the October 7 attacks. That’s pure nonsense. Gaza has been in a dire state for well over a decade, long before these deals. The real driver behind Palestinian actions has always been the ongoing occupation, not diplomatic moves with other Arab states. What truly escalated the situation was the Harris-Biden administration’s failure to restrain both Iran and Israel, allowing tensions to boil over into the current crisis.
There’s also the misguided belief that these deals left Palestinians isolated, signaling that they were on their own. But the reality is different. Hamas has long received support from Iran, and the Arab states involved in the Abraham Accords were backing Abbas and Fatah in the West Bank, not Hamas in Gaza. These deals didn’t isolate Hamas; they were a strategic move to bring broader regional stability. The real failure was the current administration’s inability to build on that strategy and manage the region’s complex dynamics.
And finally, the absurd notion that moving the embassy somehow handed all of Jerusalem to Israel needs to be addressed. The embassy was moved to West Jerusalem, which has been under Israeli control since 1948. East Jerusalem, the area of concern for Palestinians, where Palestinians have legitimate claims, and remains a separate issue, wasn’t given away or compromised by this move. The real issue isn’t the location of an embassy, but the lives lost due to the Harris-Biden administration’s incompetence. The bloodshed in Gaza will be their legacy, not Trump’s symbolic embassy move or peace deals that aimed to stabilize the region.
The Harris-Biden administration has proven incapable of restraining Israel’s far-right government, which has seized the moment to carry out an ethnic cleansing campaign in Gaza. This administration, with Kamala Harris at the helm alongside Joe Biden, has demonstrated a stunning lack of control and influence. The connections to leftist Zionist Jews within the administration, including Harris’s own husband, have done nothing to temper the aggression from Israel’s right-wing. Instead, they’ve been complicit in allowing this nightmare to unfold.
It’s essential to recognize that Trump, for all his flaws, did not allow a genocide to occur on his watch. His administration sought to broker peace, however imperfectly, and made efforts to avoid the kind of bloodshed that is now all too common in Gaza. The Abraham Accords were part of a broader strategy to stabilize the region, to bring peace where there had been conflict. While not without criticism, these efforts stand in stark contrast to the current administration’s utter failure to prevent the ongoing massacre.
The bloodshed in Gaza will be remembered as a dark chapter in history, one that occurred under the Harris-Biden administration. No amount of deflection or finger-pointing will change that. The real issue isn’t where an embassy is located; it’s the lives lost, the futures destroyed, and the complete abdication of responsibility by those who were elected to lead. The blame lies squarely with those in power now, and history will judge them for their role in this tragedy.
