Backed by Trump, Israel Shreds Cease-Fire Deal

A barrage of Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip early Tuesday killed more than 400 people and left a fragile cease-fire agreement in tatters ...

Let's see how we got here. Last week, the Republican budget is at an impasse. AOC, Bernie Sanders, and Nancy Pelosi want Senator Schumer to block the budget. The Gaza ceasefire is still holding. Schumer capitulates, arguing things will be worse for Americans with a government shutdown, so the budget passes. The senior Senator from NY, a recipient of generous AIPAC donations, now cancels book appearances because of angry constituents. Benjamin Netanyahu, facing serious inquiries and a corruption trial, announces he going to fire the Shin Bet director. Simultaneously, Trumpf launches attacks against Israel's enemies, the starving Shia Houthis (who are allies of ----- Iran). The -----s will retaliate against this, jeopardizing US Servicemembers in the Middle East. With US money flowing and Trumpf's approval, the IDF bombs Gaza and Netanyahu is back at war, claiming Hamas broke the ceasefire agreement. Once again Bibi's corruption trial is delayed and inquiries against him are drowned out because of war. So what if 400 Arabs are killed. Sources? My previous posts and comments. images.jpost.com

Hi reinheitsgebot. Thanks for posting this. Even with that bald-faced lie, Trumpf won only 21% of the Arab-American vote; Jill Stein grabbed 59% of their support. The only Arabs Trumpf likes are wealthy Saudis who he makes his pelf with: apnews.com

The United States now cannot be trusted to uphold any treaty, contract, or security agreement or trade agreement.
Thanks again, Trump voters!

Fixed!

Just like no soldier wins a war by themselves, the Trump/Stein Muslims did their part to defeat the Dems.

So, thank you for your service Trump/Stein Muslims! Hope you're getting as much a kick out of current events as I am.

- he just wants [a] peace

Same as in Ukraine. A piece of Russia's action when they take over the country is all he wants.

'Trusting Trump', will go down in History as another of the Classic Blunders:

"Haha you fool! You fell victim to one of the
classic blunders. The most famous is never get
involved in a land war in Asia; but only slightly less
well known is this: Never go in against a Sicilian when
death is on the line!"

Let's be VERY clear whose fault this is.

Had Copmala Harris announced that aid to the apartheid/genocide perpetrator state would end, she would be president today.

But no, she couldn't read the room. The reality for Palestine became continued genocide no matter who was president. And people who could not bring themselves to vote for continued genocide... didn't.

Biden could have stopped the genocide. Harris could have promised to stop the genocide. They couldn't be bothered.

Inconceivable!

of course they did. Trump is a terrible negotiator. Bibi knows he isn't competent enough to do anything about it.

Russia will violate its cease-fire with Ukraine for the 21st time next, because trump sucks.

I think you live in a different room than most of this nation.

Even at record low approval, Israel is at 33% while Palestinians are at 20%. So Dems coddling up to Palestinians would be a net negative.

And that's before the GOP hammers on the Dems non-stop for a year as palling around with terrorists. If you can't see how that would play out during elections ...

There was a ceasefire?

Lot less Palestinians to move to Africa if Israel just kills them all off now.

"Had Copmala Harris announced that aid to the apartheid/genocide perpetrator state would end, she would be president today."

I don't think you can narrow it down to a single policy position, especially since we've seen Trump roll out policy initiatives for Canada, Greenland, and Panama that weren't part of the campaign

Palestine is just not that big an issue for most voters.

Lots of presumably pro-Palestine Muslims voted for Trump, who when asked about Gaza on the campaign trail said Netanyahu should "finish the job."

That's worse than what any US President has been offering the Palestinians since 1948. Still, they voted for it. My guess is it's the misogyny, a lesson Democrats should have learned twice now but might still be missing.

Anyone who actually believes anything Trump or anything republicans ever say.

Just give up.

Life isn't for you.
