    Trump said “Israel made a very big mistake” in releasing photos and videos of its offensive in Gaza, commenting the country’s public image is “in ruin.”

    Reading comprehension is your friend. He didn’t say that what Israel was doing was bad, he said it was a mistake to release photos and videos of what they were doing. He’s not condemning their actions, he’s criticizing their PR while undertaking those actions.

      He’s not condemning their actions, he’s criticizing their PR while undertaking those actions.

      He’s framing it as if israel should stop committing Genocide for their own self-interest. This was in an interview with one of the top Zionist lobbies.

      In no way can this comment of Trump be interpreted as “kill them all”.

      Like I said, there’s actual Genocidal Trump comments out there. Most of them more recent. This ‘finish the job’ statement was made while Trump was still on the fence and ripped out of context. It’s a bad argument and blue maga should feel ashamed for lowering themselves to the same levels of red maga with out of context headlines.

        It certainly can be interpreted that way, especially in the context of the fact that he called Netanyahu to sabotage the ceasefire deal the Biden administration was negotiating.

          No it cannot. Trump just flip-flops his positions all the time and tries to play both sides.

          Also provide a source for your context because it contradicts news reports.

            Huh, so so Trump gets the most generous benefit of the doubt but every Democrat is a genocidal fascist? You’re making your shilling a bit obvious. What a clown.
