On the Palestinian – Ben Samuels in Haaretz:
‘"Israel is the one that wants to keep going," Trump said in the debate. "[Biden] said the only one who wants to keep going is Hamas. Actually, Israel is the one that wants to keep going, and you should let them go and let them finish the job.
"[Biden] doesn't want to do it. He's become like a Palestinian, but they don't like him because he's a very bad Palestinian, he's a weak one," he said.
Trump's comments during the debate marked a shift in his rhetoric on the Gaza war compared to recent months, signalling that he may be more focused on consolidating support from GOP Jewish megadonors like Miriam Adelson, Bernie Marcus and Paul Singer than pandering toward his America First populist base that has grown increasingly wary of U.S. involvement in the Middle East (even supporting "America's best friend" in Israel).
Trump's campaign has endeavored to poach disillusioned Arab and Muslim-American voters in key swing states like Michigan in recent months, with several community leaders notably endorsing him despite his vow to reinstate the Muslim entry ban into the United States and his record as president. He has also repeatedly vowed to deport any pro-Palestinian protesters in the U.S. on a student visa.
He later defended his record on supporting neo-Nazis and white supremacists trafficking in openly antisemitic language and imagery in Charlottesville by attacking these same protesters.’

‘No matter what, his disdain for Palestinians should be considered cemented in stone – illustrating further Biden's missed opportunity in his answer on how he would use leverage to bring the war to an end.’

Biden as a ‘bad Palestinian’, why not? It may come as a surprise to many, but the political arena anything goes.
Maybe Biden will announce soon that he is going to retire, it seems that Trump is not too thrilled about that idea. But the ‘bad Palestinian’ is here to stay.
In the meantime, we might be on the verge of a war between Israel and Hezbollah.
The Muslim Entry Ban appears to be higher on Trump’s list, probably because he believes that his opponent is a Muslim. No he doesn’t believe it, it’s just opportune to name him that way.
