He may not be in office, but Donald Trump has been speaking with the powers that be about Israel’s war on Gaza—but it’s not in an effort to end the genocide.
Instead, Trump has allegedly been talking with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to avert a cease-fire deal, fearing that doing so could help Vice President Kamala Harris win in November, according to PBS.
“The reporting is that former President Trump is on the phone with the Prime Minister of Israel, urging him not to cut a deal right now, because it’s believed that would help the Harris campaign,” said PBS’s Judy Woodruff Monday night. “So, I don’t know where—who knows whether that will come about or not, but I have to think that the Harris campaign would like for President Biden to do what presidents do, and that’s to work on that one.”
He just sent them $20B in new arms exports.
FFS, Americans are the most propagandized people on earth. You’ll believe absolutely anything, except the truth.
And Trump is interfering with a ceasefire. You don’t give two shits about Palestinians or genocide.
Netanyahu has not demonstrated any interest in a ceasefire. Blaming this on Trump deflects the strong Israeli support for further genocide of the Gaza people.
Trump is on Netanyahu’s side regarding a cease-fire. If you have a problem with Netanyahu not entertaining a cease fire, you should have a problem with Trump trying to scuttle it.
That is, if your problem is actually with the genocide, and not just a weird personal vendetta against Joe Biden.
Again, do you realize who is currently holding office?
Again, do you realize who isn’t currently holding office, has no responsibility or need to be involved in the situation, and is inserting themselves into the situation in an attempted to make sure the genocide continues?
And this person actively trying to make sure the genocide continues wants to hold office.
This you?
So, the person actually running the country that’s committing the genocide you’re so against has less culpability than an ally that’s NOT committing genocide? Did i follow those mental gymnastics correctly?
Netanyahu > Biden > every other nationally elected leader on good terms with Israel > Howard Kor and Elliot Brandt > Jamie Dimon > a long list of senators and governors > Lachlan Murdoch > Ben Shapiro > Donald Trump
Is “underpantsweeevil” some euphemism for “shit take” that I’ve never heard before?
ETA: explain how Shapiro, who ISN’T ACTIVELY INTERFERING WITH A CEASEFIRE DEAL is higher on your list than Trump?
You when Joe Biden pushes towards a cease fire: 😠🤬😡😠🤬
You when Donald Trump actively interferes with cease fire efforts: 🙈🙉🙊🤡😇
He just sent Israel another $20B in military equipment
A guy pushing for a cease fire.
You know who’s the subject of the article in the OP? Donald Trump, the guy actively trying to prevent a cease fire.
If you live in a state in which your vote will not matter anyway, you are better off voting for a candidate who actually wants a ceasefire. Jill Stein will secure more funding for the Green party if she breaches the 5% threshold. This bickering over which corporate oligarch party is less genocidal will get us nowhere.
I live in a state where I can’t throw my vote away
We’re talking about Donald Trump illegally interfering with cease fire efforts here, please let’s try and keep things on topic
What does Donald Trump have to do with us using what leverage we have to push the Democrats to stop supporting Genocide?
Excuses excuses. Brotherhood of the traveling goalposts. Your bias is showing.
For jets that will not be delivered before 2029.
The vast bulk of that deal is a contract for 50 F-15s, which are estimated to be delivered in 2029. He did not “just send them $20B in new arms exports”.
