    I can’t believe there are actually people who are surprised about his ‘proposal’ at all. Like… everyone saw this coming, right? Plenty of people have been warning other people for years that Trump would do this sort of shit.

    But hey, what do I know. I’m just an alarmist fearmonger. Or whatever they used to call me.

      I don’t mean to defend the Democrats, but the Pro-Palestine crowd has been throwing all the blame on the Democratic Party for the Gaza genocide. Which was wrong-headed as it was pretty obvious that the Trump admin would double down on US support to Israel… where the Democrats did do something to resolve the conflict.

        What are you referring to? Biden claimed to be “working toward” a ceasefire for 15 months then Trump’s ambassador went over there for 3 days and the ceasefire immediately happened.

        Trump is pro-genocide and has no problem wiping out all Palestinian life but him and Biden are equally as bad on this issue

          I think Democrats did what they could, but due to Trump and Elon being buddies of both Bibi and Iran (and Russia), sectarian gimmicks have supplanted conventional diplomacy. It’s now a matter of who’s with what team.

          But that doesn’t take away that Trump is okay with ethnic-cleansing the whole area from Palestinian Arabs, to take ownership of Gaza and redevelop it for Israel. That’s probably what Jared was planning for years.
