    First of all, just because he did something good doesn’t make Trump “my hero”. But feel free to say that, that’ll 100% work to convince people. Second of all - all I know is the situation from my friends there. And they are returning to their old workplace. They are talking about rebuilding. Right now they got a reprieve, with a ceasefire agreement from October, that was refused then, with the US government saying “it’s Hamas who refused it” which was obvious bullshit. They are also getting medical devices in. So yeah, I’ll believe the people who are actually there, over a random dude on lemmy, thanks.

      You’re the random dude on lemmy who claims to “know people” vs the random dude on lemmy who cites his sources.

      Israel and Netanyahu preferred Trump by a wide margin over Kalama, so unless you’re a Zionist I wouldn’t recommend celebrating yet.

      You actually think the legal dept. over at NBC and CBS would allow them to publish quotes from the POTUS that weren’t true? Those are actual quotes of what Trump said. But, yeah, believe what you feel like believing.

      He didn’t. You’re just ignorant.

    Trump also confirmed he had instructed the military to resume shipments of 2,000-pound bombs to Israel, which had been paused over concerns about civilian casualties.

    Biden sent 14,000 of those bombs as of July last year. Enough to kill roughly a million people in a concentrated enough area. Some critical context you missed in your framing of the situation.

  Boy are you woefully misrepresenting reality.

    So it was Biden who got the ceasefire?

      Ahhh. I get it. You live in a month ago. Here, let me catch you up a bit:

      So trump is going to help Israel turn Palestine into a glass crater……

      And then there’s this disaster of a plan

      And let’s not forget that his take on the subject is to “clean out the whole thing”….

      So, I’mna go ahead and let you catch up to currently, and ask that once you arrive at now, you do your best to keep up with the rest of the class.

      What ceasefire? The one that was violated immediately?

  So far this new president helped stop the genocide that Biden was supporting.

  I’ll take “Utterly Moronic Comments Stated Unironically” for $500, Alex.

    Kewl funny quirky meme! Shame it lacks any substance and literally contradicts what I’m hearing from my friends. But by all means, close your eyes, stick fingers in your ears and go “lalalalalalala can’t hear you lalalallalala” like the grownup you are.
