Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Friday, October 17, 2025

President Donald Trump on Thursday warned that if Hamas keeps killing people in Gaza, "we will have no choice but to go in and kill them," marking a sharp escalation of his rhetoric against the group as he tries to maintain a ceasefire in its conflict with Israel. The threat " just three days after the deal was signed in the Middle East " came amid reports that Hamas fighters have used the truce to quickly and violently reassert control over the Gaza Strip, targeting Palestinians who they deemed to have collaborated with Israeli forces during the war.

President Peace Prize is talking about sending American troops into Gaza.

You were told that this man would bring poverty and war.

You were told correctly.

Zed,

That's exactly what I'm talking about.

Why don't you focus on Hamas like you did in the first comment?

Why don't you say "Damn, Hamas needs to stop that or we need to stop Hamas from killing their own people"..

Why not?

Why go straight to hatred of Trump? The thread is about Hamas..

If they werent killing people on the streets like animals, you would need Trump to protect the people of Gaza from Hamas...

Cant you see that?

Say it, Zed, why does Trump needed to go there in the first place?

Or do you think it's ok to kill civilians?

HAMAS' killing of Palestinians exposes the lie that all Palestinians in Gaza supported HAMAS and deserved the pain inflicted upon them by the IDF. That has never been the case and should help buttress the claim that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza. Netanyahu had to sell that lie to hide his real intent: removal of all Palestinians from Gaza aka ethnic cleaning.

Suddenly Boaz cares about Muslims? Funny, he couldn't have been more disdainful in his recent postings if he tried.

Or is it because they're making his Dear Leader look like a fool because everyone except idiots like Boaz knew his "peace deal" wasn't going to be anything of the sort?

Hamas is the Elected leadership in Gaza.

If they are illegitimate so is Trump and Bibi.

All Elected.

Trump kills Venezuelans without due process. Clear War crimes.

Do you support that?

Hamas is getting rid of Enemies within.

Just like your Man, Trump, wants to.

Hamas is in an Existential War.

Trump is just a big ----- who can't take any criticism.

Not much similarity there.

And then we have people like you.

It'll be fine. A few pipe-hitters and local, anti-Hamas militias supported by massive waves of US aircraft.

We're pretty good at this fight.

This is hilarious.

Hamas murders and takes hostages from an Israeli concert -> FootPoser Likes
IDF response to getting hostages back from Hamas, Palestinians die as collateral damage -> FootPoser wants Hamas to hold the hostages.

One can only assume FootPoser wants Palestinians killed, theres really no two ways about it.

I think it's pretty well-settled that the world DGAF about Palestinians or Muslims killing one another.

All that really matters to the useful idiots is that JOOs shouldn't defend themselves from terrorists out to rape and slaughter Israeli civilian men, women, and children.

And Palestinian ISIS is just getting started. Enjoy the show!

Here's why the Islamophobic trolls hate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) and Zohran Mamdani. One of the trolls smeared AOC as "scum.' Uh-huh.

These AIPAC trolls want us to hate Palestinians and Hamas to divert and distract us from Israeli war crimes and illegal land appropriations. Since 7 Oct 2023, the IDF murdered 67,869 Muslims; another 170,105 are wounded or permanently maimed. So, these troglodytes waste our time with their inane posts demonizing an oppressed people. We're supposed to hate Geronimo and Sitting Bull too.

Why else would these Israeli propagandists be here with their shifting aliases on drudge.com and not on the Times of Israel blogsite or other rightwing platforms?

Bold words from our Resident Jihadist who joined the site a few months before the Palestinians raped and murdered 1,200 Israeli civilian men, women, and children on October 7th, 2023.

And has been spouting terrorist talking points nonstop here ever since, turning this site into a Hamas mouthpiece.

I will.

Hamas is killing Able bodied traitors with blood on their hands.

Palestinian Blood.

Probably because you can't, dips(*&.

Just a few days ago you were calling Muslims scum who have it coming because they're violent people who should be suppressed.

Now suddenly their own internal suppression is a reason for Trump to violate a campaign promise to not engage in foreign conflict.

Take a deep bow, hardworking American taxpayer. Since the inception of the Likud pogrom on 7 Oct 2023 against Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, the IDF has murdered 67,967 Muslims, mostly women and children, injuring and maiming another 170,179 human beings. When it comes to Murder-Death-Kill, Hamas has nothing on the IDF which conducted the Likud vengeance campaign with gusto, utilizing human shields and military ordnance on hospitals and residential buildings.

Israel, now a Pariah state and Rogue nation, ineffectively defended itself of genocide charges at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) at the Hague.

International arrest warrants issued by the ICC for crimes against humanity remain active for Benjamin Netanyahu and ex-DM Yoav Gallant. But please remember, an indictment is merely an accusation. The 'Butcher of Bethlehem' and Yoav Gallant are presumed innocent until they are found guilty at an international tribunal to be held for them at a future date within the Hague.

Mild-mannered NYC mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani vowed that as Mayor of NYC, he would order the NYPD Commissioner to rightfully arrest Benjamin Netanyahu or his fellow alleged war criminal Russian President Vladimir Putin, should either of them dare step foot in NYC jurisdiction (which would most likely be on the tarmac of JFKIA).

We're pretty good at this fight genocide.

One AI overview (out of several):

"Since 11 Sep 2001, the US military in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, and Pakistan killed over 940,000 Muslims from direct war violence, with an estimated 3.6 to 3.8 million additional indirect deaths, bringing the total to at least 4.5 to 4.7 million. The majority of these casualties are civilians.

Between Sep 2000 and Oct 2023, the IDF has killed at least 9,597 Muslims.

Since 7 Oct 2023, the IDF have killed over 70,000 Muslims in Gaza, the West Bank, Iran, Syria, and Yemen."

The 9/11 and 7 Oct 2023 attacks resulted in less than 5,000 direct American and Israeli deaths: (2,996 Americans and 1,200 Israelis directly killed). ~220 IDF KIA during the vengeance campaign in Gaza and Lebanon.

"THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!"
