Team Trump is in lockstep with Israel's operation to dismantle the refugee camps in preparation for annexation. This is a recipe for disaster and much more conflict to come

Anyone who imagined that US President Donald Trump would be the Stop the War president the Middle East had been waiting for, should have a look at what is currently underway in the Occupied West Bank.

The images from the hostage release in Gaza City shocked an Israeli public fed on myths of total victory. “After a year and four months, in which the public’s eyes have been flooded with information and baseless narratives of stories of total victory and revenge, the Israeli public sees from Gaza images of Toyotas, armed Hamas members and Gaza rising from the ruins,” journalist Israel Frey told Middle East Eye.

That said, the large-scale ground assault on the West Bank refugee camps was preplanned. But its timing was enough to keep Bezalel Smotrich, Israel’s far right finance minister and de facto consul general of the occupied West Bank, in the cabinet when he threatened to resign over the ceasefire in Gaza. The other item in Smotrich’s sweetie bag was the promise to clear out the army leadership.

    Yes, they unwittingly supported fascists. The ones who have since come out and admitted that they were fooled are not fascists.

    The rest, yes. They are. Sorry if that offends you or something.

    This u?

    Sometimes it is mind blowing to enter the liberal headspace where the definition of fascism is based on how the subject arrived at the fascist conclusion, and how the test of fascism is how they outwardly express it. It’s all just vibes. Hitler should’ve just explained how he was “fooled”, and he’d be a-ok in your book.

    And this idea of liberals always selling out socialists and minorities as a first thing will still be lost on you.

      Oh yeah sounds like me. That wasn’t what you originally said though was it?

      No, how is irrelevant. If you support a fascist you are a fascist. It’s really that fucking simple, and there’s only one group of people that doesn’t seem to like this truth.

        Please help us understand the mental gymnastics you use to reconcile these two ideas.

          Do you not understand cause and effect? No gymnastics involved, my friend, it’s a direct line. I’m honestly unsure how I could be more clear, and it makes me wonder if you’re genuine.

          I think you need to look up the word “unwittingly” because you don’t seem to know what it means based on what you’re accusing this person of saying.
