Trump told Benjamin Netanyahu in one call this month, “Do what you have to do,” according to six people familiar with the conversation who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive and confidential information. Trump has said publicly that the two have spoken at least twice in October, with one call as recently as Oct. 19.
“He didn’t tell him what to do militarily, but he expressed that he was impressed by the pagers,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina), who was on a call this month with Trump and Netanyahu, referring to the Israeli operation that killed Hezbollah leaders with explosive batteries inside pagers. “He expressed his awe for their military operations and what they have done.”
Graham added: “He told them, do what you have to do to defend yourself, but we’re openly talking about a new Mideast. Trump understands that very much there has to be change with the corrupt Palestinian state.”
If no one mentions it, centrists will assume that genocide is a popular position with the broad approval of the electorate. Well, more than they already do.
That’s a patently absurd statement. Who wants genocide for the sake of genocide? You’re being dramatic.
Sorry. Forgot that genocide is the new normal. Carry on.
Hmm, needs more pouty.
Needs less gloaty. You’re getting the only thing any centrist wants no matter who wins.
