Trump has waffled on whether the Israel-Gaza war should end. But speaking to wealthy donors behind closed doors, he said that he supports Israel’s right to continue “its war on terror.”
Former president Donald Trump promised to crush pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses, telling a roomful of donors — a group that he joked included “98 percent of my Jewish friends” — that he would expel student demonstrators from the United States, according to participants in the roundtable event with him in New York.
That’s true. That just means he believes in the wrongful eviction of the Palestinians and claiming the land as Israel. It doesn’t necessarily mean that he sees the Palestinian people as the sub-human animals that the far-right in Netanyahu’s corner claim them to be. There’s a difference in supporting Israel’s defense and funding their genocidal expansion. If it’s the latter, then he needs to be replaced.
