This is a bombshell expose, which destroys one of the great lies of Israel's genocide against the Palestinian people.

And it is such an important lie that is being exposed here, because it was used to keep Israel's genocide going, not least, by willfully deceiving the American people.

It's an investigation by Israel's Channel 13.

That's in Hebrew, but it's been helpfully translated by the ever-brilliant drop-site news.

And this investigation confirms what many of us knew to be the case,

which is that Joe Biden's administration never pressured Israel into accepting a ceasefire,

despite public claims that this is what they were doing.

The investigation cites nine officials from the Biden administration. It also cites the Israeli

ambassador to the US at the time, Michael Herzog, who was quoted saying the following.

God did the state of Israel a favor that Biden was the president during this period.

We fought in Gaza for over a year and the administration never came to us and said ceasefire now.

It never did. And that's not to be taken for granted.

Ilan Goldenberg, who was a senior national security aide, says of the refusal of Israeli officials

to have a so-called day after Hamas is the move strategy. If they're never going to do this,

it doesn't matter what the outcome is. Hamas is still going to control Gaza. You're just killing

a destroying for the sake of killing and destroying.

You're not building an alternative.

Now, it should be obvious, by the way, that Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu, who is subject to an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court for war crimes and

crimes against humanity didn't have a so-called day after plan for Gaza because he actually

was committed to killing

and destroying for the sake of killing and destroying.

That's his strategy.
