Israeli officials suggested that the increased military aid was part of a deal to get Netanyahu to agree to the Gaza ceasefire deal. Trump’s envoy for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, has said he’s pushing for the full implementation of the agreement, but the ceasefire is very fragile as Netanyahu doesn’t want to implement the second phase.

Funny how the policy of unconditional support of Israel which both parties have held since the end of WW2 suddenly becomes an issue when it could hurt a democratic candidate. It’s a manufactured outrage and suckers fell for it. Palestinians have been under a slow genocide for years and none of you even knew or cared.

Oh my God, shut the fuck up you disgusting cretin. The absurd lengths you'll go to do apologia for genocide and to avoid blaming people in power who actually set policy and campaign priorities. The absurd reach you have to do to demand other people shouldn't care about something.

You're a racist piece of shit who only cares about any of the groups you mentioned as a cudgel to insist other people can't or shouldn't care, at the same time as you present yourself as some realist pragmatist who is the only real defender of these people. It's absurd and a horrific mentality that you inexplicably refuse to hold people in power accountable for their own policies, and insist the only option is to arbitrarily and randomly carve out those who you deem acceptable targets, only to then blame them anyway if/when you lose an election from bleeding support.

You could care less about immigrants being put into concentration camps by the US, trans kids being tortured, or women being forced to carry their rapists baby. You are so blinded by the single issue the propaganda you inhale has told you to care about, you don’t think about the suffering your ignorant choices cause.

In your attempt to say I shouldn't care about Palestinians, you already have given away the game. Who's to say you won't scold people in 4 years for caring about trans people when Democrats help pass anti-trans legislation and potentially lose another election bleeding their base of support? Democrats have already been signing onto shitting on immigrants, so surely next election it's already decided that it's gonna be "Oh so you let their immigration policy stop you voting for them!!???" If/when they lose again.
