      Israel began this genocide long before him and he perpetrated genocide long before the events of October 2023. Israel cannot act without the unwavering financial and military industrial support from the US, always has been like this.

              Trump urges Israel to ‘finish up’ its Gaza offensive and warns about global support fading

              “You have to finish up your war. You have to finish it up. You’ve got to get it done, “We’ve got to get to peace. You can’t have this going on, and I will say Israel has to be very careful because you are losing a lot of the world. You are losing a lot of support.”

              According to the newspaper’s transcript of the interview, Trump said “Israel made a very big mistake” in releasing photos and videos of its offensive in Gaza, commenting the country’s public image is “in ruin.” A video shared of the interview does not show those comments.

              “That’s a terrible portrait. It’s a very bad picture for the world,” Trump said. “I think Israel wanted to show that it’s tough, but sometimes you shouldn’t be doing that.”

              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 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.

                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.

                So you posted…this…to /c/microblogmemes.

                Basically nothing about it is a meme*, but the closest thing would be the “WHO STARTED THE GENOCIDE??” …clapback?…which is obviously the question being answered here.

                Again, nothing to do with AOC.
