Whoever told you that was lying, they've been bombing and expanding settlements in the west bank at an unprecedented rate since Oct 7th. They even bombed Bethlehem on Christmas.

»» They even bombed Bethlehem on Christmas.

WOW! While I am not surprised, I cannot believe that anyone calling themselves a Christian can still throw their support behind that wretched state.

When I mentioned that to one of my republican family, they simply refused to believe it and blamed Hamas.

You uhhh, might want to read some of the articles that pop up under that search:

Though yes, Israel has done some bombing in West Bank I don't think anyone who has seriously followed the conflict would say that the actions in the West Bank have been in any way comparable to the scope and devastation in Gaza. (Admittedly, unsure what Tik Tok is saying.)

Here, lets search for Israel ministers saying that shit before the election:

The Biden administration has not placed, nor will they place any limitations on Israel.

Are you reading any of these and actually not noticing the difference between what's being said before and after the election?

[–] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They were saying they were going to annex the west bank before the election, they are saying they are going to annex the west bank now. There is no difference.

If you honestly don't understand the difference between saying "Netenyahu must order an annexation" or "our legislators will need to pursue this" and "“I have directed the start of professional work to prepare the necessary infrastructure to apply Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria" well, that's on you kid.
