Good to have you back in my inbox. These posts are infrequent but always worth reading.
Re. no war crimes in the Bible, Abraham does come close to calling God out when God reveals his plans for Sodom and Gomorrah.
"Far be it from thee to sweep away good and bad together. For then the good would suffer with the bad. Far be it from thee! Shall not the judge of all the world do right?"
Biden, and the US generally, is in a bind because support for Israel has been non-negotiable for decades. Anything less than full-throated support, backed by big money, is construed as anti-Semitic. I'm sure in your reading of 3 American newspapers you've seen how this has played out on college campuses--with Jewish students whining that they 'feel unsafe' because the other kiddies are reenacting the campus glory days during the Vietnam war.
IMHO we should airlift the lot of Palestineans out and settle them in the US--the golden parachute. We broke it, by supporting an expansionist ethnostate for decades, and it's our responsibilty to fix it.
