    It was also pretty cool to see some actual positive news out of Palestine in recent weeks.

    The fact that you think that has anything to do with Trump shows how disingenuous or ignorant you are being. The ceasefire was reached while Biden was president, and the only thing Trump has done is reauthorize even bigger bombs for Israel.

      No reasonable person thinks Biden was the reason the ceasefire was reached, as the genocide continued until the literal final day of his presidency, with his full support. There’s a very good reason why he had the nickname Genocide Joe, and that reason is that he did everything to earn it.

      I do like seeing that Democrats are pretending they oppose genocide now, though, even if they’re only doing so out of political convenience.

        Trump supports most genocides. You can’t be as much of a Hitler stan as that guy is without backing a lot of racist genocides. For fucks sake his favorite President was Jackson.

          I don’t think that’s actually true, if you look at his record.

          Trump withdrew the US military from Syria and negotiated the end of the war in Afghanistan. I have no illusions about the fact that Trump likely personally profited in some way from those deals, but Democrats love their warmongering and opposed these. Obama was bombing seven countries at once (that we know of) when he left office. Biden enthusiastically helped Israel stack bodies until his literal final day in office.

          There’s just no comparison.

            Syria wasn’t a genocide and neither was Afghanistan.

            Andrew Jackson was genocidal though. Trump called him his favorite POTUS.

            Trump likes his racist genocides he’s a fascist so that’s not a surprise

        Imagine thinking Trump will do literally anything but bulldoze the Palestinians for hotel properties.

          I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. It’s nice to see Democratic voters finally pretending to care about genocide, even if it’s only out of political convenience.
