Trump presented his ethnic cleansing plan as if he had the best interests of the Palestinians at heart. As if he was saving them from a disaster-prone earthquake zone, not from a genocidal neighbour he counts as Washington’s closest ally. His comments were greeted with shock and horror in western and Arab capitals. Everyone is distancing themselves from his blatant backing for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza’s population.

But these are the same leaders who kept silent through 15 months of Israel’s levelling of Gaza’s homes, hospitals, schools, universities, libraries, government buildings, mosques, churches and bakeries. Then, they spoke of Israel’s right to “defend itself” even as Israel caused so much damage the United Nations warned it would take up to 80 years to rebuild the territory - that is, four generations.

What did they think would happen at the end of the wrecking spree they armed and fully supported? Did they imagine the people of Gaza could survive for years without homes, or hospitals, or schools, or water systems, or electricity? They knew this was the outcome: destitute Palestinians would either risk death in the ruins or be forced to move out.

And western politicians not only let it happen, they told us it was “proportionate”, it was necessary. They smeared anyone who dissented, anyone who called for a ceasefire, anyone who went on a protest march as an antisemite and a Jew hater.

    I linked… so many reputable sources. The book American Kompromat alone is solid.

    Maybe people are talking about Russia being an issue because it really is an issue. I assume you’re a psyop, because everyone else in the entire world is aware of the vast Russian and BRICS propaganda networks. That’s why there have been GLOBAL protests including in Georgia and Romania and today in Slovakia.

    You aren’t even able to directly refute what I’m saying because every time the ceasefire didn’t happen, it was because of issues surrounding the hostages. Russia admitted to working with Hamas.

    I’ll circle back here in another month when it’s shown I’m right yet again. It’s boring atp, eventually we’ll all be dead and no one to say “I told you so,” to

        Yeah I’m good, 1 YouTube video isn’t going to negate the immense amount of geopolitical information that confirms what I’m telling you.

          You do not have information. Your comment was a ramble of incoherent and unconnected actors.

          If you think Russia was controlling Joe Biden who was sending 5 gazillion dollars in bombs to keep Israel’s genocide going, you might want to rethink a lot of things.
