Israeli officials suggested that the increased military aid was part of a deal to get Netanyahu to agree to the Gaza ceasefire deal. Trump’s envoy for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, has said he’s pushing for the full implementation of the agreement, but the ceasefire is very fragile as Netanyahu doesn’t want to implement the second phase.

I'm sure the foreigners Trump puts into the concentration camps he is building will thank you for thinking of them.

As ever, the future crimes you're imagining Trump committing matter more to you than the crimes democracts already committed.

Spare me, you've already said that genocide doesn't matter compared to what colour of fascist is running the USA, don't pretend you care about foreigners being put in camps beyond being a vector to crow about orange man bad.

I'm not imagining anything. I am basing my decisions on what Trump has said!

It isn't that the genocide doesn't matter to me. It is just out of the two possibilities in the election, neither would offer me the outcome I want (ending the war). So I based my decision on other issues, like LGBT rights, immigrant rights, abortion access, not wrecking the economy with tariff stupidity, etc

As ever, BlueMAGA shitlibs care more about what politicians say than what they do. The lives of foreigners aren't nearly as important to them as decorum and plausible deniability, after all!

It isn’t that the genocide doesn’t matter to me.

Actually it is, as evidenced by the fact that you only care when Trump does it. (Or says it, we've already established you care more about rhetoric than actions.).

ending the war

You mean the genocide.

Turns out, that imperial boomerang always comes home.
