    Trump also confirmed he had instructed the military to resume shipments of 2,000-pound bombs to Israel, which had been paused over concerns about civilian casualties.

    Looks like your hero turned out to be the villain.

      Biden sent 14,000 of those bombs as of July last year. Enough to kill roughly a million people in a concentrated enough area. Some critical context you missed in your framing of the situation.

      West Bank ethnic cleansing

      Has been ongoing at this increased pace for about a year. Are you just hearing about it now?

      You guys truly struggle with this. Both of them are complicit in the genocide. Stop trying to make one of them look good just because you identify more with him.

      And no, I do not agree with Maalus’s take just because I’m under his comment arguing with you.

      First of all, just because he did something good doesn’t make Trump “my hero”. But feel free to say that, that’ll 100% work to convince people. Second of all - all I know is the situation from my friends there. And they are returning to their old workplace. They are talking about rebuilding. Right now they got a reprieve, with a ceasefire agreement from October, that was refused then, with the US government saying “it’s Hamas who refused it” which was obvious bullshit. They are also getting medical devices in. So yeah, I’ll believe the people who are actually there, over a random dude on lemmy, thanks.

        You’re the random dude on lemmy who claims to “know people” vs the random dude on lemmy who cites his sources.

        Israel and Netanyahu preferred Trump by a wide margin over Kalama, so unless you’re a Zionist I wouldn’t recommend celebrating yet.

        You actually think the legal dept. over at NBC and CBS would allow them to publish quotes from the POTUS that weren’t true? Those are actual quotes of what Trump said. But, yeah, believe what you feel like believing.

        He didn’t. You’re just ignorant.
