    Yeah, I don’t get why people say this. Trump is, for whatever selfish reason, at least trying to stop the genocide. I don’t understand how you can compare him to people who aid and abet the killing of thousands of humans.

      He’s really not. He wants to be seen as “ending wars” because that’s what he campaigned on. I don’t think he cares one way or another about Palestinians.

      The reason there’s a ceasefire is because Hamas finally returned hostages. That’s all, and that’s not because of any negotiating Trump did, but because the war has been so one sided for so long that Hamas was losing power, so they needed to refocus on maintaining control. If Harris had won, we would likely see the same thing on a similar timeline, though perhaps with more aid to people in Gaza.

      Don’t give Trump credit for anything that’s happening in Gaza. Don’t give it to Biden either. Both could and should have been tougher on Israel.
