The guy who moved the US embassy to Jerusalem supports Israel? No. Way.

Wait a minute, I thought maga were against war mongering.

its only war mongering if it can be blamed on Biden.

They’re transparent, gotta give them that.

16 ( +18 / -2 )

The question of course, should not be "are you on board with Israel?"

The question should be "do you personally support the bombing of hospitals, schools and refugee camps, and the deliberate starving of children?"

There is a famine in Northern Gaza.

We all know who Netanyahu would prefer as president.

Now, since he has no principles or knowledge of anything much, we need only ask, how does such a stance benefit him personally, mostly materially, but also mentally or electorally? That is all that really matters.

Along with Fear and Scare, it's their favourite kind of monger.

Biden brings that every single day.

Any recent examples? Be specific and provide links, please.

As always, nothing but crickets.

13 ( +13 / -0 )

yes, now is the time to eliminate the terrorists, once and for all

my, how one pronouncement from a certain person changed your position.

you aren’t pulling a HopeSpringsEternal on us, are you?

Genocide is ok now?

you do realize that Hamas were terrorists before Trump came out for Israel, right? And here I thought your complaint was with collective punishment, or as you repeatedly called it, genocide.

nope, that is only a problem if you can blame Biden for it.

12 ( +14 / -2 )

Great, so now on top him being a racist, misogynist, egotistical arrogant narcissist, he also supports the genocide of the Palestinian people. Can there be a more blatantly horrible person than him?

12 ( +16 / -4 )

So to no-one's surprise Trump supports genocide, too. We all know that only money and votes not lives, freedom and human dignity matter to this man without qualities or principles so now we now find ourselves living again in an era when fascist monsters, this time in suits, roam the earth devouring women and children as the frightened masses fall gaslit under their evil spells allowing those shameful acts of history to rhyme, if not repeat, with more blood of the innocent.

12 ( +14 / -2 )

Trump today said he "fully supports" the Israeli government, led by their Prime Minister Viktor Orban...

He also said that Israel lives in a "tough neighborhood" in South America...

He concluded by saying he's looking forward to visiting the Israeli capitol, Budapest...

Good for Trump! A man of principle

Lol.

The funniest line about Trump since some cultist on here compared his knowledge of economics to Einstein’s knowledge of physics.

What next, that’s his natural hair colour or skin tone?

12 ( +14 / -2 )

Who will be advisor for this matter? Kushner again?

I find Israel's actions abhorrent, a clear case of genocide and comparable to other historical cases of genocide you could mention.

Since the US heavily funds Israel, it is important for US voters to know what presidential candidates stand for. There should be no ambiguity about this. So I appreciate Trump's clarification here, if not his position.

11 ( +13 / -2 )

MAGA fools: Trump is the best because he’s not a warmonger!!

Trump: I love war. I want Israel to kill as many children as possible and I want to help in their war against civilians.

MAGA fools: Yes!! War is the best I love war!!

Trump hotel Jerusalem

"Calling it a perfect solution to longstanding tension over the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, President Trump has proposed a plan to raze the entire site and replace it with the ‘Third Temple Trump Hotel and Mosque.’"

I thought Trump opposed wars, all wars. He said if he was president he would end the Russian war today. So much power in the man to do that. The slaughter of innocents is never right.

11 ( +12 / -1 )

MAGA stands for More Anarchy Guaranteed Ahead … enough already!

This will check out with his supporters.

He legit said that? Trump probably thinks Elon Musk was born in America. I can't believe how uneducated someone who led a-

10 ( +11 / -1 )

Why isn't Trump calling for a cease-fire like Biden?

10 ( +12 / -2 )

So Trump's position on the Gaza war is the same as Biden's - and Trump supports Biden's strong support of Israel...so why doesn't he say so, showing a unified US position? Maybe the same reason he came out against the border security and Israel aid package - pure craven politics?

Trump also doubled-down on his previous assertion that the Hamas attack on Oct 7th was all the fault of the Israeli government's person in charge of security, Nikki Haley...

10 ( +12 / -2 )

So much for the Arab American vote switching to Trump. Just play that soundbite in Michigan and Minnesota and problem solved.

Zibala, curious as to what you think of Mark becoming your ally after months of calling you a genocidal maniac because, you know, Trump.

It appears that there are 2 posters with the same username so causes confusion..

9 ( +12 / -3 )

Maybe a typo on your part because those 30,000 killed are the terrorists according to Hamas.

One day you say that the numbers aren't real, the next day you say they are but they're all terrorists. Very telling.

9 ( +9 / -0 )

Again, they can’t charge or go after Kushnef because he has a product to offer

Sure they can - he and Trump are guilty of exactly what the Kremlin told the GOP Biden was guilty of, that the GOP have been peddling for four years.

Yeah, Dems think having a legitimate business makes you a criminal…

No, being the head of an organization found guilty of fraud, and being found guilty of sexual assault, makes one a criminal.

9 ( +9 / -0 )

The IDF is strong enough to beat a combined 5 Arab-nation attack as history shows--multiple times.

They lost in 1973 to Egypt, they lost to Hezbollah in 2006, and they are losing to Hamas now.

Regardless, according to Hamas those women and children are Hamas.

No according to you. And to refer to women and children as terrorists because they are Palestinian is just plain racist.

9 ( +13 / -4 )

And I feel you guys supporting Hamas and their terrorists.

And I feel you guys supporting Israel and their terrorists.

Anyone ever think any truce will ever last?

John Stewart (The Daily Show) had a surprisingly good sounding solution last week.

So we both support terrorists it would seem.

No. I never said I support Hamas. I don't.

But not supporting Hamas and not supporting Israel is not mutually exclusive.

8 ( +9 / -1 )

FIVE Arab nations backed by the USSR couldn't beat Israel, which was supplied by the US. Ok--Israel still CRUSHED those countries, who couldn't go 1 on 1 , 2 on 2, but needed 5 together, and STILL got crushed.

The USSR did not support the Arabs anywhere near the support Israel got

5,000 aid trucks are stuck at the border.

Who will be advisor for this matter? Kushner again?

MAGA claims Biden peddled influence for his son, when Biden wasn't in office, meanwhile ignoring that Trump clearly peddled influence for Ivanka and Kushner WHILE in office.

7 ( +14 / -7 )

Maybe a typo on your part because those 30,000 killed are the terrorists according to Hamas.

No they are innocent women and children because the IDF is too weak to beat Hamas. So they kill innocent people. The slaughter of children and women is proof that the IDF can't beat Hamas

How Pathetic

Trump backs Israel's war in Gaza

YES!

That's leadership.

YES!

BAD leadership.

Hezbollah kicked Israel's butt in 2006 and now Hamas is Givng the IDF hell. You should be embarrassed

According to what, Ministry of Silly History???

NO! According to defense minister Moshe Arens!

On 12 September, former defense minister Moshe Arens spoke of "the defeat of Israel" in calling for a state committee of inquiry. He said that Israel had lost "to a very small group of people, 5,000 Hezbollah fighters, which should have been no match at all for the IDF", and stated that the conflict could have "some very fateful consequences for the future."[

2006 Lebanon War - Wikipedia

And if Hamas is giving the IDF hell, stop whining about women and children.

That's exactly why the IDF is killing women and children- because they can't beat Hamas

6 ( +10 / -4 )

 The elementary concept of defending a country against terrorists.

The terrorists are those who killed over 30,000 innocent people.

No matter what it takes.

Even if it means Israel's destruction.

It is actually sickening to read some of these people's excuses and support for these terrorists.

Exactly zibala. Your support for Netanyahu and his terrorists is sickening.

5 ( +12 / -7 )

CRUSHED them! And the Arab nations--even when there FIVE of them joined together--couldn't beat Israel.

They couldn't beat a US backed Israel. Israel on its own is no match for Egypt.

I'd be so embarrassed.

Hezbollah kicked Israel's butt in 2006 and now Hamas is Givng the IDF hell. You should be embarrassed

Crushed Syria several times. Sick antisemitic Syrians are no match for the Jewish people.

Your comment above shows which people are actually sick and racist.

Now Syria is destroying itself. A demented people.

Israel is starving women and children. Nothing is more demented than THAT.

""Vice President Kamala Harris expressed "deep concern about the humanitarian conditions in Gaza" during talks in Washington on Monday with Israeli war cabinet member Benny Gantz.""

Well, last time I checked ""deep concern"" means worried and destressed!! if that is the case do something to stop the killings Mam.

That's because you don't understand foreign policy.

Dumb too.

Got to remember folks it election year, anything that brings in the votes is Fine and Dandy.

yes, now is the time to eliminate the terrorists, once and for all

If there are still terrorists there must be a few, almost all of Hamas was eliminated, now what they are murdering the most are women, the elderly and children...

Let's be realistic here. Anyone ever think any truce will ever last? The problem will still exist and the conflict will continue the moment the weaker side manage to recover and regroup. So might as well just get it over and see it through the end. Like it or not, this war will end with one side losing. Half measures ain't gonna cut it anymore.

So as if we didin't already know he supports genocide but he doesn't support self defense? That's going to be his downfall this election, running his mouth so hastily he bites himself in the arse

Ukraine's win condition is pushing back Russia so they stop attacking. Isreal's win condition is killing everyone in Gaza.

Not a surprise..

Well Mark, guess I don’t need to tell you your hope is misplaced anymore.

he told you himself

It doesn't matter anymore who does or doesn't , comes November both Palestinians and Israeli's will have so much blood spelled on both sides they will take what ever is on the table.

Being concerned doesn't stop wars, taking actions toward a ceasefire does.

As he should. It's the right choice. Hamas attacked Israel.

Is that your justification for using Kremlin-supplied information in an attempt to discredit him for the 2024 election, in the biggest case of election interference in American history? MMkay....

Again, they can’t charge or go after Kushnef because he has a product to offer, he is an entrepreneur. So what’s Biden’s excuse?

With Trump's influence.

Not illegal and using his own firm and Biden? Ahh, influence…sounds pretty illegal to me.

There's a reason they're known as the Trump Crime Family.

Yeah, Dems think having a legitimate business makes you a criminal….lol, ok…

Another beautiful example of the games being played by journalists spinning their tripe on the war against Hamas. Can’t help but double down ay? Conjure up the T man spectre, quick!

Is there no balancer within your ranks? I imagine not judging from the constant outflow. This smoke and mirrors , sleight of hand stuff is beyond belief me a very sad sign of the times. I hope you are all very proud of yourselves. Hey, wish really hard and you may own your own noble horse one day ay?

Just in case you missed it the last one.

Just want to get in quickly before this discussion gets shut down by the moderators, once the desired effect has been created. The more you guys try to manipulate the issue , the more you are exposed as pretend journalists. You have become the shills of Hamas savages and should be ashamed of yourselves. I hope none of you who dared to watch the video has daughters. Have a nice day.

They said worse about Trump

A firm the Saudi's just happened to give $2 billion. 

Yes.

You guys will knowingly peddle information provided by the Kremlin

Ok….here we go….

in an attempt to bring down Biden,

What does Biden, a civil servant have to offer? What did he do privately besides work in politics? There’s no record or history of him doing anything else.

but ignore Trump peddling his influence to make Kushner $2billion

Kushner did that on his own, he owns an investment company, he has a private business and something to offer and Biden has what?

Golda Meir famously said: “The world hates a Jew who hits back. The world loves us only when we are to be pitied.”

Thats obvious from the reaction of the “progressives” on this site.

How? I mean, the Dems tried and failed on that one…

he and Trump are guilty of exactly what the Kremlin told the GOP Biden was guilty of, that the GOP have been peddling for four years.

I get it, that’s the lefts only narrative, Mueller already debunked that, so now the left are trying this again? Uh, ok….

No, being the head of an organization found

Kushner?

guilty of fraud, and being found guilty of sexual assault, makes one a criminal.

when Biden wasn't in office,

Which makes it worse as a VP

meanwhile ignoring that Trump clearly peddled influence for Ivanka and Kushner WHILE in office.

Kushner own an investment firm, that’s what he does, he invests money and if the Saudis give him a billion to invest, nothing wrong with that. Nothing illegal to invest your money in an investment firm.

Israel's retaliatory offensive in the Gaza Strip has killed 30,534 people, mostly women and children, according to the health ministry in the Hamas-ruled territory.

Trump is 100% in support of this basic principle. The elementary concept of defending a country against terrorists.

No matter what it takes.

The more you guys try to manipulate the issue , the more you are exposed as pretend journalists. You have become the shills of Hamas savages and should be ashamed of yourselves. I hope none of you who dared to watch the video has daughters. Have a nice day.
