    So you decide that the best course of action is to allow a man who has explicitly stated he just wants to see the whole place razed to regain power? How did that help Gaza at all?

      Well the guy who explicitly stated he just wants to see the whole place razed got the ceasefire Biden “tried” and failed to achieve for 15 months, which I’d say helped Gaza.

        Sure, in the same way Reagan “got the hostages released” – by colluding with another fascist to make each other look good, so they can gain power and execute their agenda (and their enemies) later.

        You’ve been played and you don’t even realize it.

          Okay I won’t deny that this possibility exists—though I don’t think it’s likely either—but okay, and? Muslims in America wanted one thing: A Gaza ceasefire. Biden didn’t give them that, but Trump did. Therefore the idea that Trump was going to or is funding the genocide harder than Biden did is simply false.

        In an “ends justify the means” way, sure. (And I’ll concede that an ends-justify-the-means victory is still a victory some are willing to accept). He basically threatened to nuke and pave the place if Hamas didn’t give up the hostages. So if you consider that a win, then sure. Trump basically “won” by saying he’s going to turn up the genocide, and maybe he’ll hold back the genocide for a little while if Hamas gives up the hostages. And that’s where we are now. Gaza gets to exist until Trump says they don’t.

          Hamas was never the ones stopping the deal from happening; that was always Israel, whom Trump told in no uncertain terms to end the war or else. I won’t deny the possibility that Hamas was also pushed along by Trump, but remember that Hamas wanted to give up the hostages in exchange for a ceasefire. That was the whole point of taking hostages back in October 7th, and they accepted the deal when Biden first presented it in May.

              Okay, and? I think you’re misunderstanding something here: The problem with Biden and Harris after him was never that they were just Zionists; all American presidents who were contemporary with Israel were Zionists. The problem was that the level and scale of cruelty they accepted and supported in the Gaza war was unprecedented. Even the Zionist American government would normally not allow Israel to commit genocide on such a scale. See: Reagan during the Israeli invasion of Lebanon. Tell me he’s worse than Biden when he allows something on that scale; otherwise he’s just a regular US president aiding regular crimes against humanity.
