Trump ‘shocked, shocked’ Palestinians are starving in Gaza

For 188 days President Trump has been voraciously supporting the Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. He’s given Israel billions in weapons, Intel, logistics, vetoes of UN ceasefire resolutions, public support.

On day 188 Trump encouraged Israel to “finish the job in Gaza. I think they want to die. It’s very, very bad.” They don’t want to die more than you do, Mr. President. Netanyahu, with Trump's support is bombing, shooting and starving them to death. It’s more than very, very bad. It is genocide and Trump is all in, following his predecessor Biden who originally enabled the genocide’s start 21 months ago.

Twenty-four hours later Trump appeared to have an epiphany during a meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in London. Or maybe he just forgot his cue cards of genocide support “There is real starvation’ in Gaza. That’s real starvation stuff, I see you. You can’t fake that.”

Trump actually contradicted Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who claimed there was no starvation. Trump’s evidence? “Based on television, I would say not particularly because those children look very hungry. They don’t look very hungry Mr. President. They’re dying every day from your encouragement for Israel to starve those Palestinians not killed by your bombs and bullets.

The grotesque reality is the US and Israel abandoned the Gaza ceasefire talks so both can continue the genocidal ethnic cleansing there unabated.

While Biden kept a low profile about the extermination he greenlighted, Trump is positively ecstatic about completing it for his ultimate real estate project.

We can hope Trump is feeling the pressure of living out his remaining days damned to eternity for enabling the Gaza genocide. Maybe it will force him to buck Netanyahu who is starving Palestinians right before our eyes. Or maybe on Trump presidency day 190 he will go back on script and ignore the monstrous death toll he’s enabled.

While most of the civilized world is repulsed by the Israeli/US genocide tag team, everyone in the Trump administration and nearly the entire 535 member Congress is on board the Genocide Express. It's all 'self defense' they mutter.' Mainstream media has blocked discussion of the genocide, the word and subject that dare not speak their name.

We need a 21st century Nuremberg War Crimes Trial. First up in the dock? Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, closely followed by Joseph R. Biden and Donald J. Trump.

We cannot say we didn’t know. Unless we hold them to account…we are complicit in their guilt.
