    We agree that Biden isn’t great for Palestine, but he is absolutely better than Trump.

    Trump noted, “They’ve got to finish what they started, and they’ve got to finish it fast, and we have to get on with life.”

    “And the other thing is I hate, they put out tapes all the time. Every night, they’re releasing tapes of a building falling down. They shouldn’t be releasing tapes like that. They’re doing, that’s why they’re losing the PR war. They, Israel is absolutely losing the PR war,” Trump said.

    Trump also fully supports Israel’s expansion. He repealed the law preventing Israeli settlements on Palestinian land that Biden has since reinstated.

    Netanyahu was so pleased, he named a settlement after him.

      At least post the full quote

      What I said very plainly is get it over with, and let’s get back to peace and stop killing people. And that’s a very simple statement. Get it over with. They’ve got to finish what they finish. They have to get it done. Get it over with, and get it over with fast, because we have to, you have to get back to normalcy and peace,” Trump told The Hugh Hewitt Show.

      It’s really sad Democrats have to resort to out of context quoting like Republicans these days. But when a party runs on lies and populism it’s what you gotta do I guess.

        That’s additional and superfluous. It does not in any way negate the initial message.

        Even with your classic “taking it out of context” Trump defense, this is indefensible.

          Did you read it?

          You can find many Trump quotes praising Netanyahu and other crazy shit. This is not the statement you want to pick out.

            I read that along with “finishing what they started” and “without recording everything” to mean, “eradicate Palestine without documentation so you aren’t held accountable, and restore peace to Israel.”
