"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. "

Why were you silent a year ago

[-] auraithx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 11 hours ago

We weren’t, we were saying this exact thing would happen and should be avoided. Because he told us.

[-] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 8 points 11 hours ago

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

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

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.
