Donald Trump has a message for voters who disapprove of President Joe Bidens Israel/Gaza policy from the left: The Republican intends to be vastly worse.

In theory, Donald Trump might recognize the electoral opportunity and try to appeal to those who disapprove on the incumbent presidents Israel/Gaza policy from the left. In practice, the former president has an unsubtle message for Bidens critics: If given the chance, the Republican intends to be vastly worse.
The Biden White House, for example, acknowledged this week that it is, as the Associated Press reported, weighing measures to help Palestinians living in the United States who want to bring family from the war-torn region.
Soon after, as Reuters reported, the presumptive GOP nominee shared his thoughts on the subject at a campaign rally.
Note, at one of his campaign events yesterday, Trump appeared to goad his followers in Wisconsin into booing Palestinian refugees.
At the same event, the former president also vowed to restore and expand the Muslim ban he imposed during his first term......
The former president also endorsed ongoing Israeli military operations, saying, We have to let Israel complete their war on terror. Its a horrible thing, but they have to do it. Trump added that Israel must clean out the cancer.
Lets also not forget a New York Times report from March that said top members of Trumps team want to expel Palestinians from Gaza.
Its as if the Republican is going out of his way to alienate voters who, given their frustrations with Bidens policy, might be inclined to give Trump a second look.

Your towns and villages will now be accepting people from Gaza and various other places, Trump said, eliciting boos from the crowd. Under no circumstances shall we bring thousands of refugees. Last week, Trump described the pro-Palestinian protests as driven by tremendous hate while asserting that the violence at a 2017 white nationalist rally with some Trump supporters in Charlottesville, Virginia, when he was president was small by comparison.

TFG will bring back the Muslim ban, give Bibi free reign to bomb and destroy Gaza and expel Palestinians from Gaza so that Jared can build his resorts.

OP
My point is that any humanitarian aid to the Palestinians would have benefited the wrong Palestinians.

Israel is in control of Gaza. They have done nothing to stop the gangs taking aid.

No reason not to since "making Palestinians disappear" is their unstated policy.

Shouldn't that be "Israel considering starving the remaining people in Gaza after Trump inauguration"?

Who to believe? The UN or "there is no limit on the amount of aid that can enter Gaza" wink wink nudge nudge -COGAT?

COGAT is COGnitive Abilities Test. What does tRump impairment have to do with your post?

You wrote COGAT, not me. I still don't know what you mean by it. But yeah, I get you want to call me stupid. . . . nt

Thanks for clarifying. I had no idea that was an Israeli agency and a search on COGAT only came up with the test

This is what they voted for when they refused to back Biden. Muslim Americans chose this path.

Who am I to argue with our Muslim American Palestinian voters? They know what they wanted and they got it.

You stopped caring about genocide because you didn't like how people affected by it voted?

It was not the people of Gaza that voted. It was their relatives and friends in the USA.

Ummm... didn't you just say, and I quote, "Most of the Muslims in Michigan are Lebanese"?

I knew this. I think they're less than 58% these days, but I knew they were Lebanese.

Hope they enjoy the golf courses Trump and Bibi build in Gaza after they steamroll it like a pancake.

Are there any Muslim- or Arab-Americans in Democratic Underground that would like to weigh in on how they voted and why?
