Trump Backs Israel Bombarding Gaza: 'Gotta Finish the Problem'
Donald Trump declared his support for Israel's ongoing siege on Gaza and attacked immigrants in a Fox News interview.
Yeah but deciding not to vote for Biden just feels like a good trendy way to express my sympathies with Palestineans... /s
I hope this gets posted in all the leftist boards. People need to understand Biden is a continuation of the United States' wishy-washy policies on Palestinians whereas Trump is pedal to the floor full acceleration towards genocide. Biden has shown he can at least be pressured into taking minor steps in the right direction. Being able to claim moral purity at the expense of a genocided Palestine will ring pretty hollow.
I mean, Biden absolutely is wishy washy.
But he also reversed Trump's policy of saying West Bank settlement is legal, and sanctioned violent Israeli settlers.
Obviously Gaza's really bad, but what's happened and happening in the West Bank is also arguably ethnic cleansing. Chasing Palestinians off their land. Trump's a fan.
Biden is a continuation of the United States' wishy-washy policies on Palestinians whereas Trump is pedal to the floor full acceleration towards genocide.
If these are the only options that our system offers us, then why shouldn't we demand our system be replaced?
Democrats are inadequate, Republicans are worse. If this is the only choice available within the United States, then why do we citizens allow the United States to continue?
United States’ wishy-washy policies on Palestinians
Wishy-washy policies is my favorite way to say "apartheid ethnostate"
If its a primary then fuck Biden, but if it's the General Election then the blue name on the ballot is who gets the check.
I am convinced a good chunk of the "genocide Joe" crew are agents provocateurs.
You're may be right. I assume most of them are 'useful idiots'.
They realised western media were often biased, so they switched to 'critical' media, spent more and more time in internet bubbles, and ended up uncritically parroting Russian, Chinese or Iranian propaganda instead.
Same thing happened after 9/11 and Iraq. A lot of people were angry about how biased CNN was, so they switched to channels like Russia Today because it was critical of the US and did genuinely have a lot of good journalism. Of course, that doesn't mean Russia Today isn't propaganda. A lot of these people are forever lost, I don't think you can deprogram them.
Also if people use a lot of slogans like "cultural marxism", "Fuck Brandon" or "genocide Joe", without being able to articulate a nuanced position, it's likely they've succumb to newspeak. Newspeak uses an impoverished and simplified vocabulary, to prevent people from critical thinking.
It must feel amazing to be held hostage by a ineffective political party that knows that if you don't vote for them then the alternative will be much worse.
It feels like shit but whatever plan you have isn't gonna change it
It is amazing that some people think that Biden can snap his fingers and Israel jumps to attention. Israel is a country that attacked the USS Liberty! Biden didn't start the conflict. People on both sides have died. You can't stop trains, super tankers of countries on a dime. It would be nice, however if folks would actually try to understand what is being done and why. Hint: you won't find in in the MSM or from Putin's trolls. Then again, mindless online bitching is so much easier.
Amazing? I just feel helpless.
Biden: We’ve been reluctantly supporting a very close ally, but it’s gone too far, and now we’re publicly condemning while admittedly still funding them. It’s a complicated situation, and I’m a cautious centrist.
Trump: Why are there still buildings standing in Gaza? That won’t happen on my watch. May as well wipe out the West Bank while we’re at it.
For the life of me, I can’t tell the difference. I have no idea who to vote for to help the Palestinians.
There is no one to vote for to help the Palestinians.
The only hope for Gaza is for Biden to change course and use his significant leverage to convince Bibi to end the blockade.
If the status quo of famine is allowed to continue, there will be no Gazans left to bomb when Trump is sworn in on Jan 2025.
The only hope for Gaza is for Biden to change course and use his significant leverage to convince Bibi to end the blockade.
Five months and almost 31,000 Palestinian deaths later, he's still just wagging his finger and sending even more arms to Israel.
We might as well just wait for the Pope to shit in the woods.

When your highly nuanced and extremely educated political stance is obliterated by an extremely obvious fact that you forgot to consider because you got lost in the sauce of [current hot conversation topic] for [I'm a Leftist!(TM)] identifying individuals.
This is what I've been pointing out all along... Say what you want about Biden funding Israel, Trump is actively worse.
And no, Jill Stein or Cornell West are not viable alternatives.
Just voted for Gabriel Cornejo in my state's primary. Looked him up, liked his policies, voted for him instead of Vermin Supreme, because no way am I voting for Biden in the primary. It's purely symbolic, let's be real, but I did ultimately vote for someone with leftist platform.
Yeah, in the primary all options are valid to vote for, even if it's just symbolic. That still shows where people stand. However, in the general you pick who you need to pick in order to get the best outcome. You don't get to vote for symbolism then, at least if you're a rational person and not just doing something out of an emotional attempt to feel better than other people. It sucks, but that's how the system functions for now at least. Acting morally superior doesn't do anything except allow the morally corrupt to get their way.
Gabriel Cornejo Identified the leading problem in the country and hired the smartest person in the world to fix it.
And no, Jill Stein or Cornell West are not viable alternatives.
My vote will only ever go to Vermin Supreme.
But what about naz-yay? (Yeay? Yeah?)
The irony of literally anyone (eligible) not voting for Biden specifically because of his handling of the Gaza situation, and thereby doing their part to help Donald "Gotta Finish the Problem" Trump win, makes my bones hurt. I hate this timeline and I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
Not voting for Biden in the primaries is perfectly fine.
More than fine!
If any American ever has any questions about the Weimar Republic and why Germans didn't stop Hitler when they still had a chance to do so, just point them to the run up to the 2024 presidential election. People who secretly want fascist leaders will always have an excuse, if one goes away, they already have another excuse waiting.
Yes and these people become excessively angry with you when you point it out. Their goal isn't really to find a solution, it is to express discontent. They are divorced enough from reality that when you mention that Trump would be worse, they tend to lash out at you instead.
Ha I was debating (?) some gradbears with the argument that not voting against Donnie would result in more suffering but their replies can be summed up as "not my problem, I'd feel worse if I did"
The irony of literally anyone (eligible) not voting for Biden specifically because of his handling of the Gaza situation
I left my primary ballot blank. There was nobody on the ticket who wasn't going to continue the genocide (with perhaps Marianna Williamson as an exception, but I'm not indulging her vanity campaign). Come November, I suspect I'll be in the same spot. Two candidates who are endorsing genocide, with the caveat that one is waving an Israeli sports pennant while the other repeatedly insists he feels really bad about it.
I hate this timeline and I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.
Swing by Gaza. We'll sell the Israelis the next round of ammo used to wipe you off the face of the Earth.
If 2024 was the last election ever, then your logic makes complete sense, and I get to liberals every election is the last election ever, despite us seeing Trump's desperate and flawed attempts at seizing power. He didn't get more intelligent in the last 4 years or learn from his mistakes.
Imagine a crazy, crazy world, where Trump wins in 2024 and there's a 2028 election. I know this is hard for some moderate libs to fathom, but you should recognize it as a real possibility.
If it's incredibly clear that Biden lost because he's Genocide Joe, then the next Democratic candidate might be someone younger who is ready to end the genocide (which the U.S is perfectly capable of single-handedly doing).
I've met people online that absolutely refuse to even acknowledge this is a possible world. They think Genocide Joe is the absolute best, pro-Gaza leader the Democratic party could ever put forth, and that losing elections due to issues like supporting genocide could never change the rhetoric and actions of future candidates in the party.
It's fucking mind-numbing how little thought people put into this. Like I'm happy to agree that in a world where Trump wins, the years 2024-2028 are going to be worse in about every conceivable way, but then as we get into 2028 and beyond, there are scenarios that play out better for leftists in that world (e.g we get an anti-genocide, socialist leftist instead of some moderate Republican who is a reincarnation of Biden except on some social issues). The fact that moderate libs REFUSE to acknowledge this possibility is fucking exhausting.
And I'm not saying that it's guaranteed to be better 2028 and beyond, it's absolutely not, nobody can make guarantees about the future, but there is undeniable potential value in having Biden lose this election when you look beyond the next 4 years.
Politicians cater to the people who vote. If Democrats lose this November and there is an election 2028 they are going to look at the people who voted in 2024 and 2026 and try to get those people's votes. If progressives don't vote in the general election this year Democrats won't waste time on them and will instead focus on conservative voters. Not voting will drive the Democratic party further to the right.
Withholding our votes doesn't lead to better election outcomes. Voting should be a simple mechanical choice to pick the lesser evil. If people want better candidates then they need to do the work between elections. Refusing to vote and trying to lower voter turnout sets us back. Losing in 2024 will mean America becomes a fascist dictatorship. There is no value in letting the Republicans win.
I am a leftist and the democratic party is no friend of mine. That said:
If Trump wins in 2024 there won’t be a 2028 election, or at least a not a real one.
Project 2025. Downvote me. Shit on my very existence. But read what is planned.
"I don't want to live on this planet anymore..." oh please, just stop. How horrible is your life? You sound like a whiny liberal. People are dying all over the world, being murdered for religious beliefs, sexual preference, politics...etc...and you don't want to live because "that big bad republican might become President.." Please...
You sound like a whiny liberal.
New here?
Trump also repeatedly claimed that if he were president, there would be no war between Israel and Gaza. “It would have never happened if I was president,” he said of Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack against Israel, in which more than 1,100 Israeli and foreign nationals were killed. “They wouldn’t have done it to me, I guarantee you that. They did this because they have no respect for Biden and frankly they got soft,” he added.
uh huh

They would never have done it if he was president. They only attacked because of biden.
But sure, yeah... go ahead and just not vote. Letting Trump in will be so much better for the Palestinians.
A week ago, the difference between the two would have been that Trump would enable Israel in every way, while Biden would enable Israel in every way, but staffers would leak stories about how much Biden didn't like Netanyahu from time to time. Now, Biden has started sending aid to Gaza while Harris is calling for a ceasefire, and this is entirely because 100K voters in Michigan voted uncommitted. When done properly, threatening to withhold your vote can be an effective way to make your voice heard.
Letting Trump in
Winner-take-all electoral college means you never really had a voice in the matter.
You should have moved to a Blue State before 2020, so your physical presence could be used to tip how many electoral votes that state produced, if you really cared about stopping Trump in 2024. That's the only consequential method of putting a (very tiny) finger on the scale of a Presidential contest.
Color me surprised that the facist sympathizes with other fascists committing a genocide.
It was because Biden and the Democrats were against it. Trump literally looks at when the Dems are doing and says they are the exact opposite of it.
Same happened with the US border. The Reps kept demanding money for border security for months, including Trump. In the end, Biden agreed they could have it. The moment the Dems were ok with this, Trump demanded that the Reps be against it, and the Reps voted against the money. It didn't happen in the end.
You're wrong about the border. One of his main shticks is immigrates invading the country over the southern border. If they passed the border bill, and Biden shut down the border, he loses a huge talking point with his base and a huge fear of theirs that he can prey on.
He didn't block it because Democrats were for it, he blocked it because he doesn't actually care about protecting his base from any invasion, he cares only about himself.
You'll see that he'll keep talking about the border.
I've asked it before, but I wonder how Hitler would react to Israel. Probably be beaming with pride, like a master does when their apprentice surpasses them. I imagine when Netanyahu finally shuffles his way off this mortal coil, and his soul goes wherever Hitler's is, Adolf will probably shake his hand.
Trump loving other countries doing "strong man" types of atrocities? Who would have thought!
Still uncommitted?
Given that Trump is running in the Republican primary, I'm unsure how this would effect anyone voting uncommitted in a Democratic primary?
Well, you’re implying that you might vote for someone other than Biden in the general, and the impact of that is that Trump will become president and the impact of that is Israel will have a free pass from US leadership to completely annihilate Gaza and kill with impunity. So, in terms of actually achieving the goal of stopping the killing of Palestinians, voting uncommitted is not going to work. Additionally, by promoting voting uncommitted and making it a purity test, some people will be influenced by that and ACTUALLY not vote for Biden and this will be the same thing as voting for Trump in that the result of Trump winning will be the same.
Remember Trump isn't on the democratic ballot. You can't vote against him until November. Your only choice in the primaries is to vote for Biden or vote that you are here for the other progressive and democratic choices down ballot but Biden has to earn that commitment by doing something against his own personal desire to be a Zionist and instead help starving children get food.
Uncommitted doesn't mean I'm never going to vote for Biden. It just means he has to earn it through action.
Oh I don't doubt that the "uncommited" oppose Trump, too. The problem is the Genocide Joe rhetoric and other similar bullshit. You push that narrative and it may very well have lingering effects in Trump's favor during the general election. Maybe in other elections it didnt matter quite as much, but this is Trump were talking about. Why do you and others like you not get that? Hello, knock, knock. Trump is fully embracing the Hitler playbook and aiming to be president of the Most Powerful Nation on Earth. And you want to bitch about Biden? At this moment...? SMH, it is your sort of fractious indiscipline and short-sightedness that allows fascism to gain power, laughing all the way at your stupidity and inability to mount a coherent defence of democracy. You think you have nothing to lose, but you do. Things can get much, much worse.

A lot of uncommitted voters are going to vote for Biden out of harm reduction. They might vote against AIPAC-endorsed candidates if they only have Democrats in their ballots. I know I would, but if there is a Republican, I'd have to vote for an AIPAC-endorsed democrat.
In the primary? Absolutely. It's the only way I can demand more from Biden as a representative. These are voters who went out of their way to get up and vote for the democratic primary, just not for Biden. This is a huge way to put pressure on Biden and the DNC. These are committed voters protesting within the democratic party. This is the only way democratic voters can put pressure on Biden to change course.
The National is very different, we don't have a choice but to vote for Biden or domestic fascism. I will of course vote for Biden and urge others to as well during the National election. Not a third party or Trump in the National, Biden is the only real option.
This is the reality of our shitty FPTP democracy.
Yes lol. If you can't run a candidate that isn't whole heartedly in on genocide, then you shouldn't expect votes from people who don't like said genocide. The dems clearly don't actually give a fuck about democracy, why not actually throw that antipopulism behind a candidate who actually appeals to people. "Still uncommited" haha GTFO. Yell at the people actually choosing the candidate, not the people who don't want to vote for the meat puppet. I mean...Jesus fucking Christ.
Your purity test here makes you equivalent to a Trump supporter in that your actions of not supporting Biden will result in Trump winning the election.
As is clear from this article, Trump will “finish the job” in Gaza. You think it’s bad now? Wait until Israel is encouraged to completely seize Gaza and kill with even more impunity by Trump. So, your purity test for Biden will actually result in a worse outcome than you’re trying to achieve. You’re actually going to be causing a worse situation to unfold — one that is the opposite of what you want. You may say it’s justified because you needed to stand by your morals, but I don’t think that will matter to the Palestinians dying because you chose not to support Biden and by doing so, elected Trump.
I beg you to reconsider your position. Biden won by only a few hundred thousand votes in swing states. Your not supporting Biden and encouraging others not to as well could depress turn out and result in a very unfortunate situation. This may be the last election we ever have in America.
In all honesty I think if Trump was president right now, not only would I have been shot about 2 years ago (lots of Trump assholes around me and I was pretty vocal on the town page when I was on FB back in 2020), we absolutely would have boots on the ground in Gaza.
"Captain! Captain they're shooting at us!"
Yeah, plenty of likely Brownshirts around me, and they may get the drop, but I'm not harmless.
If trump was president right now, democrats would be at least more harshly condemning his actions in Gaza because it wouldn't be politically expedient for them to downplay their complicity in genocide to maintain their current level of comfort and power. Gotta keep that machine running no matter what, I guess.
Oh, good.
So the only reason to not vote for Biden is also a reason to not vote for trump. At least Biden seems to be at least signaling for cease fires.
It's not much, but at least Biden is malleable on this. He can be persuaded to make the attempt to try to slow the Israelis down, maybe even stop arms shipments to Israel altogether (or at least add conditions). If Trump comes in, he'd probably go in the complete opposite direction out of spite for liberals and would try to help the Israeli genocide even harder. It's not a great choice, but the choice of least harm in this case is still Biden.
Israel is not the only problem in that area, mind you. Just wanting them to stop what they're currently doing fixes nothing in the large picture.
Hamas deciding to surrender and Palestine somehow waking up seems like the best option, but I don't see how that could happen. And Israel's actions are not helping that of course.
A 9mm hole in Trump's forehead would also solve, at the very least, one problem.
I bet his victims in Epstein's island would've appreciated that.
He sure needs to "commit suicide" via 3 shots into the back of the head.
Given his ties to Russia, I believe a fall from a hospital window would be more realistic.
That might spark a civil war as his followers lash out, at the very least a wave of terrorism for the death of their messiah
Pretty sure they'll cower behind their AR15s and talk loudly, and do nothing.
Me thinks it would be the fastest civil war in history.
My estimation of how this might go: Goods stop arriving in stores, diabetics can't get insulin, critical infrastructure gets targeted first. Good luck maintaining internet connectivity. The masses would do more damage to themselves than either political opposition.
That might spark a civil war
Considering how Trump loves alienating the military it will probably be a very short one.
We're near the cusp anyway, though not on the precipice. The worst thing though is knowing the Maga cult is likely to try and rise up if anything happens to Trump they don't like, including not winning the Presidency. This is depressing because on the other hand I do NOT foresee the Left doing the same.
They should.
They won't though.
Only on Liberal Lemmy and Liberal Reddit can you threaten to kill a Republican politician, and everyone just laughs it off....
Trump is not a Republican politician. It seems to me that most Republican politicians are neither.
No threat has actually been made. It’s the same as saying “I wish he’d have a heart attack.”
And people think Democrats will vote on support Trump because Biden won't denounce Israel...
It's at least in part Russian propaganda. They don't want people to vote for Trump, they do want democratic voters to not vote at all, which will help Trump get elected.
Look at the people pushing the 'genocide Joe' thing. Invariably they're anti-NATO and make excuses for Iran, Syria and Russia. Not that they're doing it deliberately, but plenty seem to have bought the propaganda and are acting like useful idiots by spreading it.
Anytime someone goes to name calling I assume they are a bad actor. We can have a serious discussion on the matter without devolving into name calling so I just assume they are trying to sew discord more than anything else.
Are useful idiots imo.
It’s at least in part Russian propaganda.
But you'll use that as the excuse every time someone says they won't be voting for Biden right?
The problem you run into with this excuse is regardless of where the ideas are coming from or who is amplifying them you and many others are clearly concerned about the upcoming election. Biden won the 2020 general election so that means you're worried there are people who voted for Biden in the 2020 general election and won't vote for him in 2024. If they're leftists or progressives that means staying home, voting 3rd party or writing in.
So here's a crazy idea: find a compromise. Leftists and progressives have raised multiple reasons they are frustrated or even angry at Biden. Why not yield to some of those objections? Frankly, the fact that discussions about giving progressive and leftist voters what they want in order to gain votes get so heavily down voted feels like the real PsyOP. Especially when the people downvoting simultaneously talk about the wonders of democracy and compromise. Here's just a few ideas Biden could do today:
It's hard to take people seriously when they talk about how important democracy is but sneer at the very idea of sacrificing any policy positions in order to court voters sitting to the left of Biden.
They will. By not voting for either.
I don't believe that is something that anyone has ever said
Man, I was worried for a second he would take the opposite stance.
I'm really torn on this one. On the one hand, Republicans ALWAYS take the exact opposite stance of Democrats so they can set up the argument as "Democrats bad" but on the other hand Trump is such a massive pile of shit that he would totally be for "bombing dark skinned people" just because.
Man who some have called a fascist, backs a genocide.
It's the final solution in maga speech
So he openly proposes the Endlösung? Wherever you are in the US, kick some grandpa's ass (provided they helped rid Europe of Hitler) and stump their noses into this topic so they see what Trump is.
They will never see what Trump is. Orange Hitler could break into their house in the middle of the night and rape their wife while beating their children while they look on in awe at the honor of being visited by Satan's enforcer. It's what cults do.
GeNoCiDe JoE!!!1!1
He must mean finish the "solution"
The dude talks at a 3rd grade level.
I think here he is thinking of "finish" in the sense of "finishing off", not in the sense of "finishing up with". He is not wishing for Israel to "solve" the issue, he is calling for them to kill all Palestinians.
At least in my reading.
if you haven't caught on to Trump's imply/deny strategy yet then I think you're a very fine person who needs to stand back and stand by
Ohh, just how will our little "But Biden saporz Genocide"-crybabies now explain away their "both side is bad" bullshit?
The fact that people legitimately act like Trump is a better option for president than Biden because he hadn't up until this point actively voiced support for Israel speaks volumes about how fucking doomed and politically ill-informed our country's voter base is.
Mocking a genocide of 35,000 humans for internet points… 🤦♂️
What a uniquely disturbing inability to have any awareness of context whatsoever!
Are you actually incapable of reading things as they're written and just see words and react, or do you actually know what they're saying and are just trolling? The issue they were very obviously addressing is that many people are acting as though Trump is somehow a better option because Biden supports Israel, so the question now becomes how will these people respond when they see that Trump (obviously) also supports what Israel is doing. I find it very difficult to believe that you don't know that, but if you somehow don't, how do you get around the world with such a limited capacity for extracting meaning the things people say?
Jesus fuck trump is one dumb mother fucker. So many dipshits were gonna not vote for Biden because of his non committal bullshit when it comes to Gaza. Which, ill admit, is annoying me as well but obviously not so much I'm gonna not vote.
Then this orange fuck comes along and makes sure to push those people back to Biden.
If he comes out saying anything other than "kill all the brown people, especially the children" his base will get suspicious.
Holy shit, what a moron. Biden should really send a thank you card for that nice little gift.
Are people really surprised about his attitude about this? From Mr. "You have to kill their families!"?
The general election will be a competition between two senile goons shouting "I love Israel more than you!" at one another from across a debate stage.
Then we'll all get an earful about how voting is a civic duty and you need to choose which one is the lesser of the two evils.
Trump is so dumb he destroys the carefully crafted russian narrative that actually might have won hin that whole thing, because some leftist are just to dumb. It's stupidity all the way down and up.
If you go all the way down, do you really have to go back up? I mean…. 🤷♂️
I mean, this is what the Democrats need to focus on if you want to get back those 20% percent lost in the primary to undecided.
I don't have a lot of faith in the D establishment, but I'm pretty sure their number crunchers know what they're doing.
I mean I would think so too, but they are running the oldest candidate with the lowest approval rating against a deeply unpopular candidate, and losing quite handedly in the polls.
So I don't actually think they know what they are doing.
If Biden loses, save this comment as we will be getting a lot of books from staffers full of texts worried about this very thing.
The uncommitted were always derpy for ignoring the obvious. Now what will they do with their time?
Voting noncommitted in the Primary is the least derpy or ignorant thing you could possibly do in this situation. They weren't voting Biden vs Trump, that's not how primaries work, they were voting Biden vs literally any other Democrat and chose the latter.
What do you think the point of a primary is, if not for voters to express there views to their political party?
Trump isn't running in the Democratic primary ffs.
Snore...
Yeah, no kidding he would. All the tankies acting like "both sides" is a legit position probably cannot see just how much worse he'll be...
there was an indication 45 would be bad, during his presidency he did a bunch unexpectedly, that means my poor imagination has no clue how awful some of the stuff he implements will be
The problem is religion.
I am a lifelong atheist and disagree with this. Religion isn't the problem, bad people are. Religion is a vehicle for bad people to harm those who are vulnerable.
Now plaster this shit everywhere. K, thnx.
That's funny, "gotta finish the problem" is the same argument I have for making use of the guillotine in American politics, beginning with one orange cunt in particular.
what have you got against ginger women
I'm sure some people are having the same sentiments about Donald Trump right now.
There's a sense of desperation in that post. I think they can tell they're losing ground fast.
How tf is this even legal? This is literally foreign state-sponsored corruption.
Well... at least ... he's being honest?
Funny thing is that as far as I can remember, the alt/far right was for stopping all outflow of resources to Israel, until Trump came into power. I guess killing muslims became more crucial than killing jews.
They probably got the xtian taliban memo that Israel is to be protected for the return of Jesus, and THEN all the murder of Jews will happen in their sick and stupid Left Behind fantasies.
I thought this was a satricial publication for a solid minute. Until I saw the tweet.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Donald Trump is hoping to win big on Super Tuesday, and he kicked off the primary’s most vote-rich day with one of his favorite traditions from his time as president: calling in to Fox News to deliver an unhinged rant.
The former president called Fox & Friends on Tuesday morning, where he celebrated Monday’s Supreme Court decision barring states from removing him from the ballot, doubled down on his claims that migrants are “poisoning our country,” and declared that Israel has to “finish the problem” in Gaza.
“People are coming from jails and prisons, and mental institutions and insane asylums, and there are terrorists,” he said of undocumented migrants crossing the southern border into the United States.
As previously reported by Rolling Stone, Trump has basked in criticism of his rhetoric on immigration and privately vowed to take things even further.
Behind the scenes, Trump and his closest allies have been hard at work identifying legal loopholes that would allow them to carry out a hardline crackdown on undocumented immigration without needing to consult Congress.
As Rolling Stone reported in January, one such proposal includes the revival of the Alien Enemies Act, a zombie law that allows presidents to unilaterally authorize the deportation of foreign individuals.
The original article contains 668 words, the summary contains 206 words. Saved 69%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Having Biden think you won't vote for him on Nov is a protest. Politicians don't want to lose power. Now will people actually stay home or vote for Trump? I'm guessing no.
Anyone casting a protest vote for "undeclared" against Biden, this is the alternative
it's a fucking primary, not the general.
Funny thing is that as far as I can remember, the alt/far right was for stopping all outflow of resources to Israel, until Trump came into power.
The Palestinians can stop the war in Gaza any minute. They could have stopped it yesterday. They could end it tomorrow. They could wlend it this very minute.
They could have had a Palestinian state. They could have a Palestinian state.
This is the ultimate truth that leftist media is working so hard to hide: The Palestinians don't want a Palestinian state. They want Israelis not to have one.
Trump isn't lying I think. I just don't think the Middle East will sit idly by after his final solution.
That's your choices kids...the slow genocide of Palestine or shock and awe.
Doesnt he knows that his master, putin created that problem, to make west turn away from from ukraine?

Come on, that's not fair. Politicians don't care about dead people of any color. Just look at all the school shootings, they give no fucks at all about anyone.

Yeah, all this means is that for most of the voting public in the US, Israel is a non issue. Both parties actively support Israel, so if you're pro Israel it doesn't matter, if you're sympathetic to Palestine, you're either going to vote or you're not. It really is unfortunate, those people are over there getting killed by the thousands, and Americans have no political option to help them.
From most polls I've seen, the US public still generally backs Israel. Crucially, the voting public who, unlike our loud and demonstrative progressive wing, actually shows up to vote, tend to support Israel.
And we had options to help, it just required us to vote in the primaries (2016, 2020) despite not being a tik tok trend or whatever. Sanders wanted to cut military spending but the online and very vocal progressive wing didn't show up and vote for him.
It's sort of like not staying fit, eating poorly and not sleeping well and then wondering why you got hurt when you tried to play a sport with your healthier friends. These things take work/showing up well before they become a critical issue.

This seems a bit misleading. People want a permanent ceasefire, a two state solution, a stop to the indiscriminate bombing of Palestinian civilians and would like any aid to Israel to be dependent on them pledging not to occupy Gaza after the war. I don't think Israel agrees with any of that?

Damn, you didn't need to call me out like this
The DNC would prefer voters let them finish the problem.
Lol...MOST Democrats support this idea too... they just don't come out and say it.
A lot of the democratic party does, yeah. Specifically the president. If there are Palestine supporters in the US tho they tend to be democrat or independent. I wouldn't go as far as saying most dems support Israel.
Damm, the open fascist or the closet one?, definetly a hard choice.. this makes me question WTF America?
You were the first to say "wtf america." No one else is aware of how absolutely fucked this entire situation is.
