In a Truth Social post, Trump attacked Biden − and Hamas − by accusing the president of “taking the side of these terrorists, just like he has sided with the Radical Mobs taking over our college campuses.”

    Just to clarify… They’re slamming him for this because it’s how he’ll win the election. They want him to keep supporting Netanyahu so that young voters don’t turn out. Don’t let the GOP use you as a puppet.

      I completely agree. I posted this to remind people what abstaining from the election would invite for protesters and Palestinians.

        Trump would just drop 10 MOABs on Gaza day one for the fun of it. Luckily, he said he’d “only be a dictator for a day,” so day two, I’m sure nothing bad will happen /s

        Please remind your friends and family to vote. If there was ever an election that mattered since the Civil War, it’s most likely this one, where one party isn’t even trying to hide that they no longer want a democracy.

          Absolutely. We also went from sussing out Russian influence in Congress to a President who was in their pocket. From Truman to Trump in 60 years. It’s bonkers.

      Exactly.

      Biden will pull in way more votes by cutting off Israel than Trump will complaining about it.

      So I’m kind of glad there making a big stink of it. I see it is a free political ad for Biden!

      It doesn’t matter whether they think this is a winning strategy for Biden or not. Either way, attacking him over it is the best move for them. Attacking Biden can stir up their base and/or win over any independents that are in favor of supporting Israel, and there’s basically no downside because there aren’t a lot of pro-Palestinian people to alienate on their side of the aisle.

        Oh absolutely… my statement was more directed at hesitant likely democratic voters who are uncertain whether to vote for Biden or sit out the coming election.
