Trump presented his ethnic cleansing plan as if he had the best interests of the Palestinians at heart. As if he was saving them from a disaster-prone earthquake zone, not from a genocidal neighbour he counts as Washington’s closest ally. His comments were greeted with shock and horror in western and Arab capitals. Everyone is distancing themselves from his blatant backing for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza’s population.

But these are the same leaders who kept silent through 15 months of Israel’s levelling of Gaza’s homes, hospitals, schools, universities, libraries, government buildings, mosques, churches and bakeries. Then, they spoke of Israel’s right to "defend itself" even as Israel caused so much damage the United Nations warned it would take up to 80 years to rebuild the territory - that is, four generations.

What did they think would happen at the end of the wrecking spree they armed and fully supported? Did they imagine the people of Gaza could survive for years without homes, or hospitals, or schools, or water systems, or electricity? They knew this was the outcome: destitute Palestinians would either risk death in the ruins or be forced to move out.

And western politicians not only let it happen, they told us it was "proportionate", it was necessary. They smeared anyone who dissented, anyone who called for a ceasefire, anyone who went on a protest march as an antisemite and a Jew hater.

Hamas imo kidnapped those people due to KGB or other encouragement, then Israel/Netanyahu refused to rescue them and used them as proxy hostages against Biden to secure money because they had a deal with Trump and Putin

I linked..... so many reputable sources. The book American Kompromat alone is solid.

Maybe people are talking about Russia being an issue because it really is an issue. I assume you're a psyop, because everyone else in the entire world is aware of the vast Russian and BRICS propaganda networks. That's why there have been GLOBAL protests including in Georgia and Romania and today in Slovakia.

You aren't even able to directly refute what I'm saying because every time the ceasefire didn't happen, it was because of issues surrounding the hostages. Russia admitted to working with Hamas.

I'll circle back here in another month when it's shown I'm right yet again. It's boring atp, eventually we'll all be dead and no one to say "I told you so," to

Or wait listen to this crazy idea: Palestinians were locked in a concentration camp and fought back!

Here is a great video made by an Israeli about what happened. https://youtu.be/Pt_1k7nSv1M

Yeah I'm good, 1 YouTube video isn't going to negate the immense amount of geopolitical information that confirms what I'm telling you.

You do not have information. Your comment was a ramble of incoherent and unconnected actors.

If you think Russia was controlling Joe Biden who was sending 5 gazillion dollars in bombs to keep Israel's genocide going, you might want to rethink a lot of things.

Have you read American Kompromat? What about seen Active Measures? What about the literal protests happening TODAY in Slovakia? What about Georgia? What about Romania? South Korea?

American hostages were being used against Joe Biden, just like when Regan and Iran used American hostages against Carter. It's really not a leap.

May you suffer for hiding this information and pretending it isn't real. May as much harm come to you as you have done to the world through suppressing it. I curse you.

Once again Biden held all the leverage on Israel. But he bypassed congress to send Israel bombs.

Your argument makes zero sense it requires no literature to understand who held the strings.

Your entire argument hangs on pretending it was Trump in charge during the 15 months of genocide. But he was not. Biden was in charge.

It is not Putin but Israel controlling America.

How can he have leverage over hostages he has no access to? If Israel says, "give us more funding and we won't bomb the hostages and we will work to free them," then that's what Biden did. Do I think he did well? No. But that's not my argument, whether Biden did well. My argument is what Trump did behind the scenes.

Trump coordinated with Netanyahu and Putin who were in charge of their respective countries. Trump didn't have to be president for this, obviously, it wouldn't have worked if he was because he'd be blackmailing himself lol.

Maybe if you keep chanting "it makes zero sense," it'll be true 👍 Israel isn't "in charge" of the US (source needed, you sound like MTG and Jewish Space Lasers ppl) but they certainly were using our hostages against us.

How can he have leverage over hostages he has no access to

By forcing Israel to accept the ceasefire deal which Israel rejected in June or block their weapons. The ceasefire deal which Trump forced Israel to accept.

What do you think of this meme by the way?

It makes sense to pretty much everyone familiar with the Gaza situation.

The leverage Israel had was the hostages.
