Trump picked Republican senator Marco Rubio, a staunch supporter of Israel for Secretary of State. Rubio said earlier this year he would not call for a ceasefire in Gaza, and that he believed Israel should destroy "every element" of Hamas. "These people are vicious animals," he added. Trump also nominated Mike Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor and staunch pro-Israel conservative who backs Israeli occupation of the West Bank and has called a two state solution in Palestine "unworkable," as the next ambassador to Israel read more
In the wake of President-elect Donald Trump's sweeping election night victory, a rising set of Democratic voters are having a difficult time accepting the results. So much so, that some election conversations have devolved into a set of extreme beliefs called "BlueAnon." Like it's right-wing counterpart, QAnon, the far-left's BlueAnon is also rooted in denialism at all costs. "Trump cheated" began to trend on X after the race was called in his favor, according to Gordon Crovitz, CEO of the ratings transparency system NewsGuard. read more

Qatar has asked Hamas's political leaders to leave the Gulf country, after more than a year of trying to leverage their presence to broker a cease-fire with Israel that would halt the war in Gaza and free the hostages held by the group. In a move coordinated with the U.S., Qatar told the Hamas leadership to leave about 10 days ago, according to officials familiar with the matter. read more
Does this sound like a mandate to you? It doesn't sound like a mandate to me:

Mandate, shmandate. All the GOP cares about is power. They disregard every political norm to achieve it. And then they suppress the vote to keep it.
I doubt if Pres-elect Trump has ever been pro-Muslim. Anyone who paid attention during his first term should have known that.

I have no idea what you could be referring to. This conduct by Trump is shocking and completely unexepected.

Palestine does not exist, never has. And according to the future Trump ambassador to Israel, neither do Palestinians.
Mike Huckabee once said that there's really no such thing as a Palestinian'

>Say what you will about the Dem reaction, but for all their flaws they won't be denying the election results for four years or throwing an insurrection. And they would be highly unlikely to support anyone who does in the next election.

You really are a racist and a liar.

"The Palestine Liberation Organization has accepted the concept of a two-state solution since the 1982 Arab Summit."
OK, so PLO accepts the concept, but not the specifics ... (See Failed 2000 Camp David Summit en.wikipedia.org ). Like how Trump has concepts of a healthcare plan for after they invalidate Obamacare. Very impressive!
"In 2017, Hamas announced their revised charter, which claims to accept the idea of a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders, but without recognising the statehood of Israel." en.wikipedia.org
So Hamas accepts a two-state solution without recognizing the second state. ROFL! That's a good one.
Now, getting back to reality: "How Palestine rejected offer to have its own state 5 times in the past"
