"On Tuesday, at a stunning joint press conference alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump announced the US will be taking over and running Gaza, potentially for the foreseeable future.

“Everybody I’ve spoken to loves the idea of the United States owning that piece of land, developing and creating thousands of jobs with something that will be magnificent,” Trump told reporters after a three-hour meeting with Netanyahu. "

    She said she would do nothing different. The genocide was obvious for months prior. Why would you continue defending this at this? It’s been gross for a year plus. Dems lost for many reasons, on this issue it is fucking inexcusable

      Harris’s plan: Gazans continue to suffer with constant bombardments and crumbling infrastructure. The US offers minor humanitarian aid and pays lip service to their plight.

      Trump’s plan: Extermination of all Gazans in a massive US-backed and Israeli-executed ethnic cleansing campaign in order to turn Gaza into a vacation spot for rich Israelis. Possible location for the next Trump hotel and casino.

      She said she would do nothing different from Biden.

      This is different from Biden. Very different.

      Believe it or not, things can get worse even if they were bad before and pretending this was Harris’ plan as well is just silly.

        It is no different, fuck that bullshit.

        Biden just gave $6 billion in arms not a month ago.

        Things can always get worse. Why are you choosing to defend genocide?

          Please quote me defending genocide. Unless that was just a lie to gain some kind of foothold in a silly internet argument.

              That’s the edited version. In the original, you accused me personally of defending genocide. You know people can see you edited a comment with the pencil icon there, right?

              I can’t remove any comments in this community, I’m not a moderator here.

              Seems like you’re very good at pointing fingers at the wrong people.
