Trump and Gaza

I had high hopes that Donald Trump would take meaningful steps to end the wholesale killing of Palestinians (genocide) and help bring an end to ongoing wars. In my view, he has often been misunderstood and unfairly targeted by mainstream media—and to some extent, that criticism is valid.

However, one thing remains unchanged: his unwavering support for the Israeli regime, which I view as brutal and oppressive. This factor weighs heavily in my evaluation of his leadership. As a result, despite my concerns about President Biden—whom I see as complicit in policies that enable mass suffering—Trump’s alignment with this regime places him even lower in my estimation.

Senator Bernie Sanders Delivers Strong Rebuke to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu

In a powerful video statement shared on his YouTube channel, Senator Bernie Sanders issued a direct and scathing critique of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Sanders condemned the actions of the Israeli government, stating that it has been responsible for the deaths of over 50,000 people and injuries to more than 112,000 others.

He emphasized the scale of devastation in Gaza, saying that nearly all of its infrastructure has been destroyed. Adding to the humanitarian crisis, Sanders highlighted Netanyahu's order for a complete blockade, noting that for 31 consecutive days, no humanitarian aid — including food, water, medicine, or fuel — has been allowed into Gaza.
