Be excellent to each other
As someone who has family in Gaza go back and listen to her again from my shoes. Every “sympathy” sounds like a thinly veiled threat. “Your pain will end when Israel is secure” was her primary messaging. Which we all know what that means.
Also, Trump is a symptom not a cause. He’s absolute ridiculousness and the world knows it, yet there he is with people taking him seriously. You think he magically rose and took all that power alone in a vacuum? If it wasn’t him it’d be someone else. That system is clearly beyond repair and Trump has proven it. Gloves off.
I'm sorry about the family, obviously. It's horrific and I hope everyone is as okay as they can be in such a situation.
I didn't get that messaging from her, but I can see how not being stridently aggressive towards Israel would sound like that.
It's just the fact that trump is much much worse and this would not be the case under a Democratic president. It wouldn't be magically resolved but it would have been much better in almost every way possible.
It's also the case that trump has benefited from a massive deployment and embedding of propaganda in all aspects of American life. The political system is not beyond repair, but it can't be repaired with media in the state it's in.
