There's so many very bad Trump quotes out there I'm genuinely amazed this is the one picked out by Liberals. At least pick the one about bad Palestinians or something.
But as I always point out, few people seem to have the capability to read past the headline.
Reading comprehension is your friend. He didn't say that what Israel was doing was bad, he said it was a mistake to release photos and videos of what they were doing. He's not condemning their actions, he's criticizing their PR while undertaking those actions.
He's framing it as if israel should stop committing Genocide for their own self-interest. This was in an interview with one of the top Zionist lobbies.
In no way can this comment of Trump be interpreted as "kill them all".
Like I said, there's actual Genocidal Trump comments out there. Most of them more recent. This 'finish the job' statement was made while Trump was still on the fence and ripped out of context. It's a bad argument and blue maga should feel ashamed for lowering themselves to the same levels of red maga with out of context headlines.
It certainly can be interpreted that way, especially in the context of the fact that he called Netanyahu to sabotage the ceasefire deal the Biden administration was negotiating.
No it cannot. Trump just flip-flops his positions all the time and tries to play both sides.
Also provide a source for your context because it contradicts news reports.
Huh, so so Trump gets the most generous benefit of the doubt but every Democrat is a genocidal fascist? You're making your shilling a bit obvious. What a clown.
Strange I don't recall giving Trump the benefit of any doubt. You're 4 comments of misinformation deep.
До свидания
I can see why you're having trouble reading English articles.
What do you think he meant by "finish up" in this context? Peacefully set aside over a century of history and embrace their Palestinian neighbors as equals, or, you know, the other thing.
Same thing as Biden and Harris. Virtue signal that he would be some kind of peace candidate.
I can think of more than 3 quotes of Trump which were actually Genocidal. This was not one of them. Which makes it all the more surprising this is the one people keep bringing up.
