One other thing I want to say about this.
Keep in mind that article revealed, of course, that the Biden administration knew a lot about these things.
And that Tony Blinken did not intervene, or they tried to put some pressure on Netanyahu when didn't it when it didn't work, they went back to just defending whatever he was doing and blaming Hamas for everything.
I think it is a reasonable conclusion to draw that as a former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton was oftentimes consulted by the Biden administration and probably was informed about a lot of these different things, but chose not to go out and say anything about it until now.
Meaning that for a very long period of time a lot of these people sat on this information.
They could have come out and said, actually the hostages could have been released on day one.
Let's put some real public pressure on Netanyahu in order to save the uh the hostages, and they chose not to do so.
No, and and I think your first point about these two different categories of Zionists, I think is a very valid point because this is what always has been the case.
People who are willing to just go straight forward, they don't care about the backlash, they don't care about the bad press, they just want to give Israel whatever it wants and then justify it, and others who are more in the business of war crimes management, which means you're still supporting it.
It to be done at a lower pace, at uh a lower level of um uh transparency, just to make sure that the backlash against it doesn't create problems for Israel or doesn't create problems for you, so that you can sustain that policy for as long as possible.
But the trajectory of what they are doing, of the situation they're creating, is the same.
That's why when uh Trump
Came out with the Abram accord back in two tausend nineteen or whatever it was.
To me, it was the logical conclusion of long-standing American policy.
It was not a paradigm shift.
It was just skipping all the intermediate steps and going to the logical conclusion, which is you're gonna throw the Palestinians under the bus, you're gonna give the entire land to uh to Israel, and then you're gonna pressure or give incentives for the Arab countries to go along with this, normalize with Israel.
And lot and just uh uh uh uh uh forget about the Palestinians altogether, throw them under the bus.
There was never a difference in the trajectory or where the end station of this would be.
The question was always: how fast would you do it and how blatantly would you do it?
And that's the difference we're seeing now.
