   Please don’t confuse Trump says or Trump wants with the US having the capacity to do the thing Trump says or wants. What he’s proposing is monstrous, but not surprising. It’s the logical next step of existing US policy, and it has a long track record of failing.

     In case this isn’t clear: Palestinians are not going anywhere. You’ve failed for a century to erase Palestinians and you will fail again.

     My worry is basically that the US is unable to do anything effectively besides mass destruction. That’s the only thing the US state has been good at for a long time now. Them ‘failing’ in Gaza would still mean more widespread horrors.

     My worry isn’t even just the threat itself, but the pain and suffering he can cause even if it ultimately fails. Again, the US military has a long track record of failing to achieve its own stated goals, and this would be unlike anything they’ve ever tried.
