The quiet part out loud: Trump praising Gaza as a "phenomenal" real estate location, "on the sea, the best weather"

"You know, everything's good. Some beautiful things could be done with it... You certainly can't have the people that were there. Most of them are dead."

they'd been warned! If only there'd been tons of people warning them! After all, it's not as if he implemented a Muslim ban in his first term!

why do people think most of these people actually care about Palestinians ?

The Palestinians are just something to use to spread hatred of Jews.

were nay-saying about this sort of thing and claiming it was only about Hamas and the hostages will have to work some more things into their narrative defense.

You can’t pretend that there aren’t people there. Lots of them who have no homes and little or no food. But they are there. This is not free waiting for a developer.

Even a couple of months ago I would have ignored your question. That’s not possible anymore. It’s a very good question.

Muslims turned against Bush/Cheney and reliably voted for Democrats -- in 2016 & 2020 many Muslims voted for Bernie Sanders. At the very least they witnessed the biggest humanitarian disaster of the 21st century and they were split because they felt both options were bad but a significant portion voted for Jill Stein who was really the only Presidential candidate with a position on the conflict that matched their interests. I think it was a mistake for any of them to vote for Trump but the Harris campaign's strategy alienated them. They had anti choice Republicans speak at the convention but they shunned pro-Palestinian Muslim Democratic politicians or activists speak at the convention.

I'm looking toward the next primary and hopefully a candidate will have their support as well as the 2028 general election in those swing states.
