So it looks like Trump has read the fascist playbook or something. I’m not surprised. I am concerned.

Edit: After thinking about it, I guess I am surprised that he can read.

      Yes, Biden had 50% approval among democrats for his handling of the current conflict, and the majority of Republicans have always supportes Israel over Palestine.

      Also not everyone agrees it’s a genocide.

          Hamas is intentionally using Palestinian civilians as human shields, attacking Israel from populated areas.

          And Israel has the munitions and ability to kill every Palestinian in a matter of weeks. If they wanted to genocide the Palestinians they could have already wiped them out.

              Well the other option is try and move ground troops in, which not only risks their lives, but the human shield is still risked.

              Hamas ceasing to exist would prevent the civilian casualties though, but Hamas wants as many civilians as possible to die.

              And given Israel has the ability to kill all 1 million of them in that time, they must really just be terrible at this genocide thing.

                  Hamas will not. Hamas is firing long range rockets from within civilian infrastructure, and Hamas wants civilians to die by Israeli counterattacks. Hamas will never leave the human shield.

                  Hamas is not a rational entity that is fighting for the good of Palestinians, and trying to save as many of them as they can. Hamas’ only goal is the annihilation of all Jews, and the more Palestinians that die the better it is in Hamas’ mind.
