"On Tuesday, at a stunning joint press conference alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump announced the US will be taking over and running Gaza, potentially for the foreseeable future.

“Everybody I've spoken to loves the idea of the United States owning that piece of land, developing and creating thousands of jobs with something that will be magnificent,” Trump told reporters after a three-hour meeting with Netanyahu. "

Where are all the Kamala abstaining voters? What do you have to say for yourself now? Why are you silent now?
- Nobody abstained. Kamala lost because even democrats are racist and sexist.
- Disgusting how you're pretending to care now
- Why were you silent a year ago
  
  We weren’t, we were saying this exact thing would happen and should be avoided. Because he told us.
  
  You mean when this exact thing was happening a year ago you were warning people that it would happen. And to stop it they should support the person who was making it happen?
  
  No, when I said Trump will come in and reverse any sanctions or limits Biden had put, ramp up the genocide in the west bank and let his dumbass son-in-law build hotels in Gaza. And that situation was worth avoiding. Adelson gave $100M to trump PUBLICLY for the west bank, maybe you should advise her as it would've been the exact same under Kamala, right? Could've saved her a lot of cash.
  
  Oh no not the five settlers which were sanctioned. The horror.
  Fun fact this is what Biden's envoy did
  Israel announces largest West Bank land seizure since 1993 during Blinken visit
  
  and now Trump has announced the largest land seizure since 1948, GG
  Biden: Imposed sanctions on violent West Bank settlers.
  Trump: Lifted these sanctions, signaling support for settler activities.
  
  Biden: Facilitated humanitarian aid to Gaza.
  Trump: Proposed ethnically clensing Palestinians from Gaza.
  
  Biden: Advocated for ceasefires to de-escalate tensions.
  Trump: Suggested U.S. control over Gaza, envisioning redevelopment without Palestinian residents.
  
  Biden: Withheld specific military aid to prevent civilian harm.
  Trump: Authorized a $1 billion arms sale to Israel, including heavy munitions.
  
  Okay going to report you for Hasbara now.
  
  Fuck Israel and fuck you for helping them advance their goals. Trump has done in 2 weeks what generations of war-mongering neo-libs and conservatives couldn't. GG
  
  The neo libs flattened Gaza.
  
  Would have happened either way no matter who was in charge. US was always going to back Israel at first. If Trump had won they’d already have hotels up and the mass graves would be pushing up daisies.
- Guess what, there are plenty of people who didn't vote for him or Harris in states she won otherwise. It's not our fault that the Democrats ran a shit campaign instead of holding a primary. Go find a local org and get organized. Go do something productive for once instead of being so terminally online that you see this and immediately scream about people who didn't vote for genocide instead of screaming at the person continuing the existing genocide he inherited from the previous administration. Yes, Orange Hitler is a fascist, but let's not pretend the "Do not come" lady was a saint either.
- why is it so difficult for you genocide-enabler supporters to understand that this was always the endgame for the palestinians; biden or not?
  in dark cloud circumstances like these, you have to look at the silver linings and the biggest is that the yougov poll shows that the genocide enablers lost this election because of the genocide; it proves that not all democrats have drunken the blue-maga kool-aid
- You BlueMAGA libs are disgusting.
