Meanwhile, no change to arms sales, no sanctions, nothing but talk. And talk (especially from Trump) is dirt-cheap.

You mean the guy who said he supported relocating Gazans and building a resort?
Man this propaganda cycle is getting weird.
You should never trust anything coming out of Trump's mouth and only look at his actions. Actually, that counts for all politicians.
In this case, what is remarkable is that Trump did not visit Israel during his Middle East tour, which is basically unheard of for an American president.
did not visit Israel during his Middle East tour
lol arabs winked more and wagged more money
That counts for all humans, really.
and building a resort?
trump needs personally bought off and everytime someone does he thinks every prior bribe suddenly wasn't enough.
He's 100% looking at what he just got in bribes from other ME countries and re-evaluating what his support of Israel should be worth.
Israel might have had blackmail on him, but he's at the stage where nothing can really change anyone's minds. If it comes out there's a tape of 20 9 years old peeing on him while he wears an Obama mask; they'll claim he just cured racism or some shit.
Hell, there's a good chance less support if Israel was some of the strings of his recent bribes even.
Qatar coming in clutch with the 747 bribe
You mean the $2 billion the Saudi prince invested in Kushner's private equity firm.
comes out there’s a tape of 20 9 years old peeing on him while he wears an Obama mask;
The Russians had that over him in 2016. Between then and now, AI videos have been invented and Trump was convicted of a crime without any negative effects. Blackmail doesn't work on him anymore, just bribery.

He'd blame it on Biden.
To be honest, it wouldn't surprise me if this is meant to be interpreted as "You're taking too long to finish."
I didn't even think it could mean anything other than that until I started reading the comments. Coming from Trump this certainly reads more like a "finish them!" than a "leave them alone!"
I'd believe that he meant "finish genociding the Gazans".
Israel did its own holocaust, never forget.
Holocaust-ception at this point
The cycle of abuse at national level.
Could have said this 100 days ago. Why now?
He wants to get his Nobel Peace Prize
He really is relying on Norwegians? Shit. Didn't knew we had that much power. Who knew narcissism could be a political power point? Well, everybody, I guess..
Here comes the airplane
Most likely the backlash from the war is starting to affect their numbers.
Who would have thought that funding and arming a genocide hurts your popularity!?!?
I thought the "war" was pretty much over at this point, they're just bulldozing any remaining Palestinians.
That's precisely why it's "safe" for Trump to say this now and pretend he has an ounce of integrity. He will "abandon" them after they've already finished the job.
He's also apparently getting mad at putin for whatever reason. I think he genuinely thought he could end the Ukraine-Russia war and the Palestinian genocide in 24 hours like he claimed, and is getting actually upset that he couldn't.
He’s also apparently getting mad at putin for whatever reason.
Yeah, that's about as credible as a WWE beef. Trump is just sore about being called out as Putin's bitch and is trying to pretend he's not, without actually changing anything that would upset Putin.
Chump is still jonesing for that Nobel that he hasn't gotten (that Obama does have).
That's sticking in his craw in a way most of us just can't understand. 🤷♂️ 🤡
They're waiting for the rest to starve to death.
It's not a war, this is systemic murder.
It's genocide. Call it by its right name.

This would be the first thing the orange traitor cunt does that I could actually support. Unless he has plans to commit suicide beforehand.
He thinks he's being clever and subtle, but he's literally just threatning him to get something.
I actually think that in Israel's case, threats are the only option left. The world has been trying far too much subtle diplomacy with them.
This is what Biden could have done. Threaten to cut off all aid until the genocide stops. The option was always there.
It's very much a stopped clock scenario of course. Trump is being the same bull headed idiot he always is, this just happens to be the one time that's appropriate.
And it won't matter because he'll fold like a cheap suit. He's all bark, no bite.
I fucking hate Trump as much as the next anti-fascist, but the “I can shoot a man on 5th Avenue and get away with it” factor here is kind of amazing. No Democrat or Republican not named Trump would be able to spurn Israel like this and get away with it. The pro-Israel and evangelical lobbies would fucking destroy anyone else.
For the record, I still think he’s an absolute garbage human and absolute garbage president, but damn.
Trump isn't spurning Israel. He's just talking shit in a low-effort attempt to cover up his complicity in the genocide.
[X] doubt
For once the massive shithead and his turdburgler followers might do something good for once in their miserable lives.
Ngl, would actually be crazy if trumpy ended the "war". Even if he is only doing it to push for the positive PR.
"We will abandon you"
Truer words are never spoken
Nothing will happen. He will not abandon them. What does abandon even mean, stop selling them weapons? Yeah right
Sure Chump's pissed...
Netan-yayhoo and Putain are standing in the way of that Nobel that Chump doesn't have (that Obama does have). 😂 🤣
Gotta hurt for one such as Chump... 🤷♂️ 🤡
