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.

    when you boil everything down to black and white

    That is the nature of voting. You can either cast a ballot for a guy or not. There is no in-between state.

    what country is doing more than the US to bring aid to Gaza?

    UNRWA was the primary supplier of aid into Gaza until Israel kicked them out. Then the World Central Kitchen was a primary supplier of food aid, until Israel bombed it. Aid was coming in from Palestinians in Jordan and Egypt, until Israel sealed off the borders at gunpoint.

    Meanwhile, the US has been sending Israel more weapons used in these terrorist acts.

    Might as well credit Germany with feeding and housing Polish Jews in 1942.

      No it is not the nature of voting, it is not a binary thing at all. Again all you do is remove all nuance which destroys the discussion

      You’re also proving my point, Israeli Zionists fucked aid and the US is the ONLY ONES doing ANYTHING to ensure aid gets there at our own cost. Meanwhile Egypt and neighboring countries simply put up barbed wire and close crossings.

      ALL those aids you listed you admit are no longer happening, only the US is now making it happen, but that’s not convenient to your position is it?

      Are you SERIOUSLY comparing the US to Nazi goddamn Germany right now? You are beyond a discussion based on reality. Won’t waste anymore time on you. Shame.

        US is running cover for the Israeli Zionists, preventing UN-based aid from reaching Gaza, and doing clumsy ineffectual political stunts to disguise their complicity.

        ALL those aids you listed you admit are no longer happening

        Because the US is sending weapons into Israel to bomb aid agencies.

        Are you SERIOUSLY comparing the US to Nazi

        Wouldn’t even be the first time. From our re-installation of fascists in Japan and Germany during the post-war period to our Jakarta Method in Indonesia to the Contra terrorists we armed in El Salvador and Guatamala, this isn’t even our first full-throated fascist rodeo.

        American fascism runs deep, and we’ve had a hard on for butchering every brown person we can get in our sites since at least 9/11.
