      Israel began this genocide long before him and he perpetrated genocide long before the events of October 2023. Israel cannot act without the unwavering financial and military industrial support from the US, always has been like this.

              Trump urges Israel to ‘finish up’ its Gaza offensive and warns about global support fading

              “You have to finish up your war. You have to finish it up. You’ve got to get it done, “We’ve got to get to peace. You can’t have this going on, and I will say Israel has to be very careful because you are losing a lot of the world. You are losing a lot of support.”

              According to the newspaper’s transcript of the interview, Trump said “Israel made a very big mistake” in releasing photos and videos of its offensive in Gaza, commenting the country’s public image is “in ruin.” A video shared of the interview does not show those comments.

              “That’s a terrible portrait. It’s a very bad picture for the world,” Trump said. “I think Israel wanted to show that it’s tough, but sometimes you shouldn’t be doing that.”

              There’s so many very bad Trump quotes out there I’m genuinely amazed this is the one picked out by Liberals. At least pick the one about bad Palestinians or something.

              But as I always point out, few people seem to have the capability to read past the headline.

                What do you think he meant by “finish up” in this context? Peacefully set aside over a century of history and embrace their Palestinian neighbors as equals, or, you know, the other thing.

                  Same thing as Biden and Harris. Virtue signal that he would be some kind of peace candidate.

                  I can think of more than 3 quotes of Trump which were actually Genocidal. This was not one of them. Which makes it all the more surprising this is the one people keep bringing up.

                Reading comprehension is your friend. He didn’t say that what Israel was doing was bad, he said it was a mistake to release photos and videos of what they were doing. He’s not condemning their actions, he’s criticizing their PR while undertaking those actions.

                  He’s not condemning their actions, he’s criticizing their PR while undertaking those actions.

                  He’s framing it as if israel should stop committing Genocide for their own self-interest. This was in an interview with one of the top Zionist lobbies.

                  In no way can this comment of Trump be interpreted as “kill them all”.

                  Like I said, there’s actual Genocidal Trump comments out there. Most of them more recent. This ‘finish the job’ statement was made while Trump was still on the fence and ripped out of context. It’s a bad argument and blue maga should feel ashamed for lowering themselves to the same levels of red maga with out of context headlines.

                So you posted…this…to /c/microblogmemes.

                Basically nothing about it is a meme*, but the closest thing would be the “WHO STARTED THE GENOCIDE??” …clapback?…which is obviously the question being answered here.

                Again, nothing to do with AOC.

            Both candidates promised to do that. Only one of them has promised to stop in the future. More importantly, the other one has promised to make life needlessly harder for vulnerable Americans too.

              We went from “Kamala promised to stop the Genocide” to “more importantly, Trump would inconvenience Americans (which aren’t brown people in the middle east)” very quickly.

                Option A:

                • Funneling arms to Israel with intent of eventual peace treaty

                Option B:

                • Funneling arms to Israel with intent of wiping out Palestinians
                • Also making it illegal for vulnerable minorities in America (trans people, immigrants, women seeking abortions) to get things that may save their lives (gender affirming care, visas, abortions)

                Intelligent people: “Both sides equally bad”

                  Ah yes sending weapons for Genocide means intent for peace.

    Ah yes, the real mastermind behind it all, AOC. She’s so good at genocide that she orchestrated one 40 years before she was even born!

    (Massive /s just in case that was lost on someone)

    When you’re done telling yourself how good of a person you are for taking a stand on an issue we created because we didn’t want Jews in our country either after WWII, may I remind you that the last time the US had a Republican president and a terrorist attack, we murdered 4.5 million people.

    That’s still ongoing. ISIS exists because of OUR actions.

    Which still doesn’t hold a candle to the countless people who will be dying in the coming decades in the least developed parts of the world thanks to us completely abandoning our responsibility to mitigate global warming, as a country that produces a quarter of all global pollution/waste, 5x the global average per capita.

    A truly astounding number, taking into account that we are a country that doesn’t even produce much of anything anymore. At least China makes shit.

    We pollute for FUN.

    A situation that could very well have been avoided if another 1000 people bothered to show up to vote for Gore in Florida instead of sticking to their ‘principles’.

    But I’m glad you got to get your figurative rocks off taking a stand. It’s not you and your ilk playing brinkmanship in this election could very well result in the US diving off a cliff into full on climate change denial that will kill billions in the coming decades.

    Who cares, right? The important thing is, you’re fighting for a cause. It matters, by extension, YOU matter.

    Real happy for you.

        Gore’s whole thing since he lost the election was global warming. Carter had solar panels installed in the white house that Reagan took down. Gore spent the last 24 years trying warn people about global warming. You got another hot take there, hoss?

            It seems like condemning Palestinians to an even more awful genocide is solving the plight of Palestinians, so let’s continue advocating for that.
