Trump, the same Trump that killed boarder legislation because he didn't want to give biden a win?

Not him, no, never.

Via user kingshrubb: Apparently she retracted her comments https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/22/world/middleeast/trump-netanyahu-cease-fire-talks-israel-woodruff-pbs.html

So what’s Kamala’s strong stance on this genocide then?

Given the fact that Trump has told Netanyahu not to come to a ceasefire agreement with Harris... what do you think her stance on genocide is then? This isn't rocket science-- Trump clearly knows a ceasefire agreement that involves Harris and Netanyahu is on the table.

Seems to me she doesn’t want to ruffle the feathers of AIPAC and the like. That’s not very inspiring. Hell, innocent people are dying in Gaza every day and she tells protestors “I’M TALKING”.

Is she POTUS yet? Can she tell Israel with any authority to do anything beyond her capacity as VP? Can you see why it would be absurdly presumptuous of her to do presidential things before she's even been elected?

She is part of the problem. And so are you. ☺️

Again, why do you think Trump called Netanyahu and told him not to agree to a ceasefire with Dems?

That story was fake and the journalist apologized.

Not sure why people are downvoting you. I searched your claim and am surprised to see that yes you are right-- Judy Woodruff apologized for her statement last night and essentially retracted it. When you're right, you're right.

For anyone doubting, search it up yourself. I'm on my garbage phone and it takes too long to link stuff nicely on here.

I probably could have provided sources, rather than just make bold statements without proof. lol Kinda my bad

So, I've tried searching it up myself. All I've been able to find is one article saying that one journalist, who was reporting from the DNC, had reported the story on live broadcast. She later stated that it wasn't her reporting, but something she had seen reported elsewhere. There's also, in that single article, a line about both Trump and Netanyahu denying that the phone call happened at all.

Trump at least isn't the most reliable source, and I have doubts about Netanyahu always being truthful to media, western or otherwise.

That said, I'd definitely be willing to believe it isn't true. I'd just like to see more than one article on the retraction.

Look up Woodruff's Twitter account, her statement is on there. The conversation may very well have happened but Woodruff admits there's no reliable source.

That got me there. So, could still very well have happened, but it's rumour at this point.
Cheers
