Trump has waffled on whether the Israel-Gaza war should end. But speaking to wealthy donors behind closed doors, he said that he supports Israel’s right to continue “its war on terror.”

Former president Donald Trump promised to crush pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses, telling a roomful of donors — a group that he joked included “98 percent of my Jewish friends” — that he would expel student demonstrators from the United States, according to participants in the roundtable event with him in New York.

      Yes, pressure on Biden will force him to stop supporting a genocide, which will hopefully help more people support him. He’s already taken baby steps. Thanks to this pressure. I was told to vote for him in 2020 because he can be pushed left and I did. Yet, if he can’t be pushed to not support a genocide, the biggest crime of all humanity, then it’s not really true.

      Unironically, yes. Insulting voters and defending a genocide does not win people to your side.
