 Well, Nikki Haley has dropped out and the stage is set for Donald Trump to officially become the Republican Party's nominee The question is where does he stand on one very important issue that he's been conspicuously silent on? I mean, this is a man who blabs constantly about everything So why hasn't he spoken about one of the most important issues of not the most important issue this election? Gaza Now I think that a lot of people already deduced that Trump is gonna be very pro-Israel if not more so than Biden because as president He moved the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem Which was very divisive to put it mildly and he also gave Israel the Golan Heights So when it comes to this genocide that we're seeing paid for by US tax dollars, is you gonna be pro-Israel still? I mean, he's also trying to pretend to be anti-war even though he was very hawkish and militaristic as president So where is he gonna fall? Why has he been quiet? Well, he finally made some comments about this and what he said is chilling as you know This president United States when it comes to Israel is getting protested now He seems to be turning on Israel, but the with a non-committed vote that Biden's getting They're not gonna like you either because you are firmly in Israel's camp, correct? Are you on board with the way the IDF is taking the fight to God in Gaza? You've got to finish the problem You had a horrible invasion it took place that would have never happened if I was president by the way As you know Iran was broke Brian. They were broke. They had no money for Hamas for Hezbollah They were broke this would have never happened and for another reason they wouldn't have done it to me I guarantee you that they did this because they have no respect for Biden. You've got to finish the problem. I don't see how you can interpret this as anything but a full-throated endorsement of The total extermination of the people of Gaza. I mean Israel is currently obliterating Gaza How many homes have been lost how much of Gaza will be habitable after this is done if it's ever done at this point? Israel has wiped out universities hospitals cultural centers They're being eradicated. So for him the Republican Party's nominee to say you've got to finish the problem That is very very ominous, but it's not necessarily surprising He could pretend to be anti-war all he wants, but we all know he was a hawk as president and the only reason why there was a question as to whether or not he would be as vehemently supportive of Israel as he previously was is because quote in the immediate aftermath of the October 7th attack Trump expressed his ire at Netanyahu who congratulated Biden after his 2020 election win Saying the Israeli Prime Minister had let us down by allegedly backing out of what Trump said was supposed to be a joint US-Israel operation to launch the airstrike that killed Iranian general Qasem Soleimani in 2020 Days later Trump posted to his truth social platform that he stood with the Israeli Prime Minister after pushback from some GOP rivals So the extent to which he'll criticize Netanyahu is if Netanyahu hurts his ego But there are people within the Republican Party establishment that'll get him right back in line if he sways from the whole Israel good no matter what talking point So this is horrifying because I think that we've gotten a lot of indications based on his policy and his rhetoric that he is going to be worse on this issue than Biden if you can imagine that and Perhaps there's not a huge Material difference in terms of their policy because if they're both gonna give Israel weapons to continue to indiscriminately slaughter the people of Gaza and the only Difference is going to be just unequivocal support versus support That's More tepid in the sense that he's gonna publicly condemn you but behind the scenes still give you weapons and protect you at the UN on the Security Council Then maybe you can say there's not that big of a difference But I think that if Trump were in power Things could be even worse perhaps Israel would feel no pressure and they're not reacting to what little pressure The United States is applying on them as it is But if there were no if there was no pressure how much worse would they be? So it's really horrifying because we don't have an option in the selection if Gaza is your number one issue, right? It's genocide or genocide which of the two genocide supporters do you want to win now? You can look to other issues where Biden is better. He's better on trans issues on LGBTQ plus issues Not as good as he should be but nonetheless. He's better on that. He's better on abortion, but as for this one issue You get genocide It's just so horrifying and as bad as so many Democrats have been Republicans have gone out of their way to be particularly cruel just recently another Republican congressman was confronted and look at the way that he Handles people who are asking him why he's supporting a genocide Are you concerned about let me make it let me make it clear let me make it clear Israel is our ally will always be our ally They are not guilty of genocide and I will support Israel forever Let me tell you a statistic Israel will exist the Jewish state will exist And that is for God I will always And you can tell the Palestinians We will support Israel forever Israel you so you just said goodbye to Palestine so you are saying you are comfortable with the murder of Thousands of children the Jewish people will never Under Palestinian terrorism under Hamas under Hezbollah Israel Okay, God bless Israel forever Yeah, I will never support them This is what he's saying about a people that is being wiped off the map and Republicans said that this is what they want at the beginning of this genocide We had members of Congress in the GOP saying we're gonna turn Gaza into a parking lot So maybe the difference is just rhetorical when it comes to GOP versus Democrats, but still This is really bad. So it's really chilling to see one of two major candidates say Israel should finish the problem Meaning wipeout Palestinians But I can't say I'm surprised at all and nobody should be surprised because Donald Trump has been unequivocally supportive of Israel despite some criticisms of Netanyahu here and there And um, yeah, that's pretty alarming But the reason why Trump has been quiet is because he knows that this is not an issue That is going to be a winning issue if you look at public opinion polls Then the republican party is far more supportive of giving weapons to Israel Than the democratic party's base So he doesn't necessarily have to be quiet because democrats aren't going to vote for him But he knows that he could galvanize a lot of people to come out and vote against him if he gets a little bit too Vocal about his desire to wipe gaza off the map So he is trying to read the room and be quiet But we all know where he stands and this isn't surprising to hear. So um, yeah, trump wants to Finish the problem in Gaza. We're talking about human beings here women Children people with hopes and dreams. He wants to finish the problem The question is what's you're going to do to assist Israel in finishing the problem? And the answer is going to be whatever his donors tell him to do whatever the republican party establishment tells him to do And since they're all genocidal You can take a guess as to what trump's policy is going to be there Because once the election is over and he doesn't have to worry about public opinion polls and turning anyone off All bets are off. He can get as crazy as he wants to in terms of Funding and aiding and abetting this genocide. So, uh, it's really dark times But I can't say i'm surprised by this because this is exactly what we all expected from donald trump support for genocide unequivocally
