When history is contested it ceases to be a common ground. Prefer those who discuss the present and future to those who cite history to justify their wrongs. Without an agreement on who the witnesses to #History should be, it makes no sense.

In terms of intent, Biden is clearly more humane than Trump. In terms of results, Trump may save more lives (by getting more done quicker) but he does not have any sympathy for Palestinians and makes that very clear.. Biden, poor senile president that he is, does have some sympathy..
