WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Tuesday he wants the U.S. to take ownership of the Gaza Strip and redevelop it after Palestinians are resettled elsewhere.
“We will own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site,” Trump said a start of a joint news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

    Really, if nobody protested, genocide would have been super popular and Kamala definitely would have won.

    So instead, you decided to vote for the guy campaigning on putting the genocide on a speedrun. That was bright. You sure sent a message. Yesiree. Message was heard loud and clear. Genocide is bad, but super-speed genocide is A-OK! I’m sure the soon-displaced people of Gaza are gonna thank you so much for your support.

      I voted PSL, I don’t live in a swingstate.

      If anti-genocide voters are powerful enough to sway the election, you should listen to us.

      Even weeks after October 7th, I had libs demanding I pledge to vote blue whether they stop the genocide or not, even though the election was a year and a half away, instead of standing with us and demanding they stop the wildly unpopular thing they’re doing.

      I think deep down, you all understood that the democrats will never do what the people want, even if they know it will cost them the election.

        The good news for the “We told you so crowd” is that by the next election, we won’t have to. Either it’ll be so far away that none of us will live to see it, or it’ll happen as scheduled but there won’t be a Gaza/Palestine for you to use as justification for letting the worse candidate win.
