Trump urges Israel to 'finish up' its Gaza offensive and warns about global support fading
Former President Donald Trump says he would have responded the same way as Israel did after the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas but urged the country to “finish up” its offensive and “get this over with,” warning about international support fading.
What he means is, "I don't want to have to deal with this once I'm President again," and what he does not mean, in any way, is "I give a shit about the situation in Gaza."
Sounds like he wants Israel to finally solve the Gaza "problem."
A “final solution” if you will.
As proven by his promises to ban gazans from USA

Whereas I urge Trump's cholesterol to "finish up'.
Trump is that fat guy that lost, right?
Don’t forget, he’s also broke!
Fading? Global support is about as visible as God during the holocaust.
Nobody has cared for the last 7 decades. Heck, you Americans were calling for the extermination of Palestine after 9/11. You just suddenly care cause the news told you to. And you'll stop caring once the new conflict happens, just like y'all forgot about Ukraine already
Americans are a pretty diverse lot. I don't remember any calls for attacking Palestine after 9/11. I'll take your word for it, but certainly no one in even my craziest right wing circles was saying that, so it was a vocal tiny minority. I spoke out against attacking Iraq. And against our use of torture.
Also I certainly haven't forgotten Ukraine. Nor have I forgotten how we fucked over the Kurds. I haven't forgotten the Uyghurs or Tibet. I'm concerned about Taiwan. I haven't forgotten about our mistreatment of Okinawans. The Bahamas. I could go on about the atrocities that my country has either perpetrated or profited from or at best been indifferent toward. There is just fuck all that I can personally do about any of it other than speak out to my friends and family.
Don't paint us all with one brush. The actions you see America take don't represent every single one of us. Often they don't even reflect the majority view.
Damn, opinions changing and evolving? Crazy… a whole country that isn’t constantly doing or believing the same thing? Insanity.
Also, we’re hopefully voting on Ukraine aid right after Easter…. I see Ukraine flags and “pray for Ukraine” stickers everywhere still.
That means kill them all
He spent a bunch of time yelling “America first” to his base and telling them that we can’t support, Afghanistan, Ukraine, etc because we need to spend that money at home. And now they’re onboard.
As much as he’d love to paint the democrats increasing pressure on Bibi as “supporting terrorism,” his base prefers the idea of spending that money at home.
his base prefers the idea of spending that money at home.
They clearly don't... otherwise they wouldn't be voting for the person who wants to spend it all on himself.
The like the idea of it. They’re not actually going to get that though.
Yup, Republicans are stuck in a conundrum: they've successfully sold fiscal responsibility and inward focus to their base, but that same base has been sold this idea that there's a chosen people who are entitled to the holy land. Well now they have to choose. I hope they choose the former.
I think there's a good chunk of Republicans who still support Israel at all cost, but I think the realization of what's happening over there is eating away at that steadily. I think America's support for Israel is slowly coming to an end.
Chosen people, are you frickin kidding me? Do you know how much land the Arabs have (Palestinians are mostly Arab)? Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia. The Jews ask for one little plot of land and suddenly everybody starts crying genocide. What the hell happened to all the native Berbers in northern Africa?! All because some random guy claimed they were the illegitimate descendents of Abraham ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Trump, kys.
I don't mind helping
Well he's right about global support.
Trump supporting violence, again.
Why do you think the US economy is doing so good? Arms sales for two wars.
Thats perhaps why ONE small part of the US economy is succeeding. There's A LOT more to the economy than arms.
Ok let's poll Lemmy. Upvote me if you can, downvote me if you can't. I can so I'll keep my own upvote.
If Biden stops arms shipments it's over tomorrow.
He's not wrong...seems like more and more of Biden's own people are getting upset about Israel..
Finally, the wrong American president said it.
