I understood that Trump is supposed to be a peace maker. If so then why is he taking sides in this war instead of holding Israel accountable for their crimes against humanity??!! The same goes for the Taliban in Syria!!

Roger Kimber, MD's avatar

Because it is Hamas that is guilty of crimes against humanity, remember Hamas started it October 7,2023 & if you want to get historical then they started it (or their fore fathers did in 1947).

Do you have Alzheimer’s disease or something?

What kind of MD are you? Obviously not the type of doctor that is trying to save Palestinian lives while working in hospitals that have been deliberately targetted by Israeli jets dropping American MOABs. Or amputating childrens limbs or removing IDF sniper bullets from little skulls without aneasthetic because your Zionist friends block aid, food, fuel and medical supplies from crossing into Gaza. Does your faulty ideology trump your hypocratic oath?

Roger Kimber, MD's avatar

The way to save lives here, girlie, is for Hamas to release their hostages dead or alive (& without the grotesque taunts accompanying the releases of the hostages and/or the coffins & corpses).

You are not commenting in good faith, or you have been heavily propagandized or drugged.

Now, go let Hamas have their way with you.

Shelley Chadwick's avatar

Ahhh that's it. You must be a proctologist freelancing for the IDF because you like f***ing innocent detainees up the a**e.

Roger Kimber, MD's avatar

Your insults don’t even make sense. Bye bye.

Roger Kimber, MD's avatar

The hospitals were targeted by Hamas when they hid their weapons and command centers under them. That you are oblivious to that fact & its implications is the only statement I will make to this useless air head.

Shelley Chadwick's avatar

Debunked as propaganda sweetie.

Roger Kimber, MD's avatar

Uh, no, dearie. Only in your fevered imagination. Care to cite some evidence?

Grant Waldman's avatar

Who let Hamas in?? Who funded Hamas??

Roger Kimber, MD's avatar

Irrelevant as to who is funding Hamas now. We originally funded Taliban to weaken the Russians.

Roger Kimber, MD's avatar

Yes, they were the Soviets back then and it may have helped get them out of Afghanistan, but ultimately it didn’t work out so well for us. That’s why Afghanistan is known as the graveyard of empires.

How old are you?

Never get involved in a land war in Asia… as the saying goes.

Remember: it’s the Jews who started the Warsaw uprising and massacred the peaceful German Nazis who were just doing their jobs of keeping the Germans living next to the ghetto safe!

Roger Kimber, MD's avatar

You are being sarcastic, aren’t you?!

Influence through Confluence's avatar

No you are! when you said Hamas started it on October 7th 2023. You seem to have Alzheimer’s disease.

Roger Kimber, MD's avatar

Explain your self. Hamas incursion & atrocities broke a cease fire on October 7, 2023; they were the aggressors & now they are paying the price. You are a lying or ignorant fool.

Grant Waldman's avatar

Who let Hamas in?? There is lots of evidence that the IDF killed its own people!!

Influence through Confluence's avatar

You didn't even know who Benny Morris just a few days ago, I am sure you still don't. I am under no obligation to explain myself to ignorants like you.

I also believe one of his major donors is a lady who is a 100% Pro-Israel.

I like Trump (sorta) , but this is wrong. You HAVE to be able to label things what they really are.

Grant Waldman's avatar

Trump is biding his time. He is not beholden to his donors like people think. He will deal with Israel soon enough.

Pop Cultural Appropriation's avatar

I do hope so. I voted for him, but -per another comment I made-- I've been to the Middle East quite a bit, and Gaza twice, and you CAN see that it IS an occupation. It is what it is. And I get his strategy about making "outrageous " claims to bring people to the negotiating table (it actually works)... but Gaza is a MESS. I'm rooting for him and his team.

Grant Waldman's avatar

It’s actually Israel’s (aka Deep State) war against Iran. That is about to end for good; similar to the shutdown of the genocide in Gaza, Palestine and Syria!

“… illegal protests…”

The ‘definition’ of this Presidential

CLAIM (of ‘authority’ or ‘presumption’) borders on insanity. Protests by the CLAN, MLK JR, UNIONS, WOMENS MARCH, JAN6 INSURRECTIONISTS, RIGHT TO WORK folk, Teamsters, Nurses... Endlessgroips.… C’MON TRUMP! Your racist, ignorant, pontificating DIVISION of Americans is a DISEASE that demands TREATMENT!😵‍💫😰🤡😎

Roger Kimber, MD's avatar

TDS , Brucie boy. Who is paying you to post Soros, or js there still $$ in your USAID account?

Or are you just off your meds?

Bruce Gruber's avatar

Typical Russian infill to Trump propaganda. Your regurgitation scores ZERO, but then ‘cut-and-paste is the same as cheat sheets, Classic Comics, and cheating on the girl’s test next to your desk.

Locked ‘pages’ with ‘nothing’ of value or importance only demonstrate copy- at MAGA simple-mindedness… poor you🤡😵‍💫😭😎

Roger Kimber, MD's avatar

Eff you, you senile person.

Pop Cultural Appropriation's avatar

Its incredibly disappointing. I'm conservative, but after several trips to the Middle East and a couple to Gaza specifically -- and I have ZERO skin in the game -- it is UNDENIABLY an occupation. It is what it is.

This is getting just plain weird (and I'll even say "evil") pretending like it is something else and NOT being able to cal lit that.

Frances Leader's avatar

Never forget that Trump is the snake that you let in even though you knew he was a snake.

And….”Politics is the entertainment division of the military-industrial complex”

Baz's avatar

In their system they there was nothing between them - if you are Palestinian, same outcome.

Frances Leader's avatar

That is true. I abstain from voting in the UK. We have the same Uniparty here.

As Frank Zappa famously said: “The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.”

These protests often include support for Hamas and other radical groups. We know these groups have infiltrated our country. Should we be allowed to take preemptive action to prevent festering? If not, when would it be reasonable to do so?

Dan Fonke's avatar

This is not betrayal This is our government standing up to an individual openly supporting a terrorist organization. I support President Trump to protect us from all who support terrorism.

Shelley Chadwick's avatar

Does anyone else see the hypocracy of Donald Trump's incitement of a far from peaceful protest on January 6th, 2021 and his subsequent pardons for the guilty participants AND his recent punishment of peaceful protestors who are speaking up for Israel's victims of genocide and Netenyahu's war crimes?

Perhaps Trumps duplicity is because he was born under the sign of the twins (Gemini) and is therefore able to hold two conflicting beliefs simultaneously. Are there good people on BOTH sides?

Shelley Chadwick's avatar

Thanks. I have been writing about democrAcy (or lack thereof) so much lately l slipped up.

Mark Ende's avatar

Peaceful, lol. And learn how to spell hypocrisy! In other words, get educated.

K.G.'s avatar

Totally disagree with your take on this. Mahmoud came to this country with bad intentions...organized several violent protests..proclaims affiliation with designated terrorist group...is a foreign national. This is not solely a free speech issue.

Hamas is clearly a terrorist organization. They started a WAR by killing, etc., Israelites. Palestinians support Hamas. WAR is not pretty, nor does it follow rules. If you can't handle that, DON'T START A WAR.

patop62's avatar

such an inaccurate, emotion charged post. It’s so amusing to hear people call Trump a fascist….spreading racism and oppression? 😂 Getting your emotions in check and then assessing the current situation..objectively..will likely help you sleep better. Threatening and harassment of Jewish citizens should be punished by incarceration.

Brian's avatar

Very disappointing. Really sick of how people in this country do not understand the concept of free speech. The government should not be punishing speech. These anti-Israel protests are speech. January 6 was speech. Protest should be given wide berth. Only somebody actually committing actual violence against people or actually destroying property should be punished. When will Americans learn that cheering on the government when it attacks the speech of the people they don’t like is just going to end up empowering the government to come after them, too? Many of the people upset about what Trump is doing now cheered Biden when he went after the January 6 protesters.

CM's avatar

I agree. I think the protests in support of Hamas were disgusting, but it worries me that protesters are being arrested for speech and not charged with a crime like illegal occupation of a building while Jan 6ers were pardoned.

Isn't it sad that People can be so influenced by money? "OMG! They're pulling the money feed! Quick! Do something!" We can solve for that. Which will solve for most issues We see...

AI joins the debate #Palestine's avatar

Trump’s latest statement—threatening to strip funding from universities, imprison protesters, and deport foreign students—reads less like democratic governance and more like a dictator’s decree. By framing dissent as inherently criminal, he signals a broader assault on fundamental rights: the freedom of speech, the right to protest, and the principle of due process.

This rhetoric isn’t unique to the US.

In the UK, we’ve seen a parallel erosion of civil liberties through legislation like the Public Order Act 2023, designed to criminalise disruptive protests. The crackdown on pro-Palestinian demonstrations in particular, and on environmental activists in general, reflects the same logic: dissent is only acceptable when it poses no real challenge to power.

Oh, come on!

When leaders equate protest with criminality and impose collective punishment on those who dissent, they betray the very democratic values they claim to uphold. The question now is: will we allow this creeping authoritarianism to take root, or will we resist?
