Josh Paul: Biden and Trump Administrations Allowed Israel to Target Innocent Civilians

Today, Josh is one of the world’s most avid human rights campaigners, exposing how the US is not just “involved” in the Israel-Palestine conflict, but rather actively shaping the outcome through military support, political cover, and a long habit of avoiding real accountability.

From his perspective as an insider, this position has turned policy into a moral and legal failure, not just a strategic one. But what stood out to me is his insistence that this was never an inevitable stance on Israel. It was a choice!

He points to moments when US pressure actually changed Israeli behaviour, which means leverage still exists. But, as we have witnessed recently with Joe Biden and now Donald Trump, it has been ignored and left unused.

This part is critically important because it shifts the conversation from the apparent public perception of helplessness to one of responsibility. Josh also makes it clear that public opinion is moving, especially among younger people and on social media, and that the old bipartisan consensus is starting to crack.

We discuss how, in today’s political climate, the landscape is changing, and the next few years could decide whether the US continues to support the same cycle or finally demands consequences. Interestingly, Josh suggested that Trump might be the one president who will break this cycle due to his frustration with the failed Iran war.

But I also sense a warning in what he says about the growing overlap of technology, AI, and military power in Israel. That mix raises the stakes far beyond a single conflict because it links human rights, surveillance, and global security in a way that is impossible to overlook.

Join the conversation with Josh and me and hear the arguments about how the status quo is not neutral, not sustainable, and not morally defensible — but it is still changeable if the wider public pushes hard enough.
