🙊 No comment (is also a comment)“Several Muslim and Arab supporters of Trump said they hoped Richard Grenell, Trump's former acting director of national intelligence, would play a key role after he led months of outreach to Muslim and Arab American communities, and was even introduced as a potential next secretary of state at events.
“Another key Trump ally, Massad Boulos, the Lebanese father-in-law of Trump's daughter Tiffany, met repeatedly with Arab American and Muslim leaders.
“Both promised Arab American and Muslim voters that Trump was a candidate for peace who would act swiftly to end the wars in the Middle East and beyond…”
Lmao cry me a fuckin river. This is fucking peak leopards-eating-faces territory.
He moved the Embassy to Jerusalem. WTF did you think would happen???
The evangelical community NEEDS!!!! Israel to exist because they want Armageddon. — no really.
Yeah. You knew what he was when you picked him up.
I'm just waiting for all the people who abstained from voting against him to appease their conscience to start realizing how much worse things are going to get for Palestine. I really hope I'm wrong, but Trump is already on record about his expectations.
Palestine already faces an Israel with full material support from the US. Dems just feign concern about it and tell you they are going to look into it and hey look a bird! The "worse" would simply be a continuation of the status quo but withouy a veneer of respectability to bring Dem voters on board.
Your position is neither moral nor strategic. Morally, I don't think anyone should need to be told to not tolerate genocide, let alone normalize it, let alone support those committing it. The moral question is not really up for discussion. Strategically, well, there is nothing strategic about individuals telling each other to tolerate anything and everything, including genocide, and to guarantee your votes with no demands. That's just being a good pawn for the Democratic Party that, with incentives provided through your consent, would rather lose than reverse course on genocide. You are essentially making yourself a political non-entity.
Please go and actually do something worthwhile to help people and stop letting genocidal ghouls control your political thoughts.
"... a candidate for peace who would act swiftly to end the wars in the Middle East and beyond..."
They never bothered to tell them -how- he would be ending those wars. I guess sometimes the peaceful solution is a bloody one. Peaceful as in there's nobody left to fight back.
How the fuck did he go the whole election cycle without knowing even that much? It wasn't exactly a well hidden detail of Trump's foreign policy
Oh no, it’s the extremely predictable consequences of my actions
When he said he’d end the conflict faster he meant by accelerating the massacre.
Why did no one WARN me he would DO THIS!
I voted for Jill Stein and that who they should have voted for. I guess some people don't believe Trump despite how many times he repeats how much of a Zionist and Arab-hater he is.
Edit:
To the downvoters, you can add all third party voters to Harris and Trump would have still won. Most people just opted out, turn out was less than 2020, the Democratic candidate was that bad.
Meanwhile in an alternate timeline where harris is also packing her cabinet with Pro-Israel picks.
"You can't criticize this because trump would have been worse!"
"Oh sure they are just upset the FIRST BLACK WOMAN PRESIDENT is staffing her cabinet with standard DC insiders, what's the big deal? Of course they will be pro-israel."
