We aren't discussing Israel and Netanyahu in this thread, nor Biden's relatively poor attempt to thread the needle. Whataboutism isn't helpful. This said, Trum

    Welp. Thanks Biden for drafting and making the cease fire happen. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Gaza_war_ceasefire https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Gaza_war_ceasefire

      Complete nonsense. American media and Israeli media both credited Trump with the ceasefire deal, with the WSJ complaining that "Trump forced Netanyahu to make a deal with the devil" and AIPAC complaining that Trump isn't being blamed more for the action. - https://www.wsj.com/opinion/trump-forced-netanyahu-to-make-a-deal-with-the-devil-israel-hamas-db48045f https://www.wsj.com/opinion/trump-forced-netanyahu-to-make-a... - https://www.informationliberation.com/?id=64825 https://www.informationliberation.com/?id=64825 - https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2025-01-13/ty-article/.premium/trumps-mideast-envoy-forced-netanyahu-to-accept-a-gaza-plan-he-repeatedly-rejected/00000194-615c-d4d0-a1f4-fbfdce850000 https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2025-01-13/ty-article/.p... - https://www.timesofisrael.com/arab-official-trump-envoy-swayed-netanyahu-more-in-one-meeting-than-biden-did-all-year/ https://www.timesofisrael.com/arab-official-trump-envoy-sway...

        WSJ is Diet Fox News, in print form. Murdoch owned. It's completely Trump aligned and untrustworthy on politics. I've heard conflicting accounts of the ceasefire - but many accounts credit Biden while saying Trump's team was mostly merely in the room. This seems much more plausible to me than the reverse.

            Yikes—can you please stop breaking the site guidelines in comments here? You've been doing it repeatedly and very badly, and we've already had to ask you more than once. I don't want to ban you, because some of your comments have been quite good and knowledgeable, although they have been few and far between as of late. Unfortunately you repeatedly cross into personal attack, name-calling, and so on, and we simply can't have that here. It destroys the site for its intended purpose, and that won't do anybody any good. Scorched earth is not interesting. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=by%3Adang%20scorched%20earth&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu... If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

              Sorry for butting in, but is there a way to flag comments? I'm being called a name in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43029816 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43029816

                The "flag" link, if enabled (not available for accounts with <500 karma) appears when you open a comment directly. Otherwise, for this or any other request, email mods at hn@ycombinator.com. "@dang" is a no-op, and replies-to-comments are often overlooked: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39171237 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39171237>.
