"On Tuesday, at a stunning joint press conference alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump announced the US will be taking over and running Gaza, potentially for the foreseeable future.

“Everybody I’ve spoken to loves the idea of the United States owning that piece of land, developing and creating thousands of jobs with something that will be magnificent,” Trump told reporters after a three-hour meeting with Netanyahu. "

      Seems like you’re very good at pointing fingers at the wrong people.

      That’s the edited version. In the original, you accused me personally of defending genocide. You know people can see you edited a comment with the pencil icon there, right?

        It’s when your views align with “acceptable levels of genocide,” I think you’ve lost the plot and are not a voice someone should be listening to.

          Please show my views aligning with those. You should easily be able to quote me.

          You won’t, because it is a lie.

          Edit: FYI, downvoting me doesn’t make your lie the truth.
