Only a few weeks ago, President Donald Trump seemed confident a deal was days away that would end the fighting in Gaza, secure the release of hostages and allow aid to flow into an enclave where people are starving to death.

    To every goddamned idiot who voted for this clown because Kamala wouldn’t go rogue as veep, go ahead and imagine her ever in a million years telling Israel to “finish the job”.

      The difference is that Trump is saying the quiet part out loud.

      Biden/Harris never even bothered to push Israel for a ceasefire. When Biden wamted some election optics he demanded Israel to end the blockade in September 2024 and demanded 1000 aid trucks per day. Israel didnt even let in a quarter of that and had their local ISIS affiliated Abu Shabab gang rob the UN trucks. Of course Biden didnt back up any of his threats.

      Trump pushed for a ceasefire so his inauguration would look good, which lead to a two month reprise for the people of Gaza, who would otherwise all be murdered with starvation by now.

      A lot of his base is furious that Trump now is also doing the bidding of the Zionist lobby, but there is no reason to believe why Biden, who proclaimed himself as a loyal Zionist and Harris who proclaimed to continue his legacy, wouldn’t be doing even more to help Israel “finish the job” now. They just dont say it like this in the same way how they didnt talk so loud about their deportation numbers to the liberal voters when they continued Trumps deportation regime.

      Not just them, but couch sitters and Stein voters just the same.

      Could’ve been using their time to raise Harris up and push Trump down. No, they were too busy being accelerationists touting BotH sIdeS bullshit.

      Wait, is that right…

        They try to make themselves feel better using constant “whataboutism” arguments.

        Literally the entire argument VBNW use to defend the Democrats role in genocide is “whatabout Trump!”

            How exactly did I “just prove your point”?

            Or are you just reading off random phrases from the list of Redditor cliches.

            And what exactly is “broken genocidal record syndrome”? Because the name sure makes it sound like you’re trivialising genocide.

      Remember that biden/Harris admin negotiated a ceasefire then on day 1 trump called up and gave bibi the greenlight to do whatever needed to be done to destroy hamas. Trump actively encourages isreal so much its gross. I hate how he conducts negotiations by bullying the weaker party into submission instead of trying to us US leverage to create a bridge.

      Easy to do, given that that was her position. At least under Trump, the Democrat loyalists are acknowledging the scope of the genocide. If Harris had won, they’d still be pretending it wasn’t happening and shouting at anyone bringing it up

        Another reminder that liberals will always side with fascists against leftists.

    They’re busy enacting their final solution to the Gaza problem, so just wait a few more months and world governments can sigh a breath of relief that they don’t have to pretend to care anymore when the last Palestinian in Gaza has starved to death or been shot
