President Biden’s reelection campaign bashed former President Trump on Tuesday after he said he hoped the U.S. economy would crash in the next 12 months, arguing he doesn’t care about people.
“Donald Trump should just say he doesn’t give a damn about people, because that’s exactly what he’s telling the American people when he says he hopes the economy crashes. In his relentless pursuit of power and retribution, Donald Trump is rooting for a reality where millions of Americans lose their jobs and live with the crushing anxiety of figuring out how to afford basic needs,” campaign manager Julie Chávez Rodríguez said.
Trump, in an interview with former Fox Business Network host Lou Dobbs on a network launched by MyPillow founder Mike Lindell, called the economy “fragile” and said he is hoping for a crash within the year.
Or, is it possible that, under pressure from Clinton, Barak made an intentionally shitty offer that Arafat could not accept? In any case, there’s the Arab Peace Initiative that put on the table several times a peace settlement based on the 1967 borders, which Israel never considered. Another fun fact: Israel facilitated the creation of Hamas as a way to counter Fatah and the PA, which were becoming too moderate, and too open to a deal.
In sum, the parent commenter has it right. Israel has had plenty of opportunities for peace, but has chosen to treat Palestinians like dirt with a brutal and grinding occupation. It’s human nature that some would fight back.
I was aware of the second fun fact. Netanyahu needed Hamas because he never wanted a deal. But I don’t think the deal was near as shitty as we think. That would have been a hell of a lot better than whatever the fuck is happening now.
It’s only human nature that they gang rape women until their genitals aren’t recognizable? What Hamas did was pure terrorism and in no way a natural human reaction. Much of their motivation came from wanting to destroy Israel, not wanting to live side-by-side with it
And so does that justify Israel behaving just as badly? And Arafat should have taken Barak’s shitty deal because of the atrocities that Israel is capable of unleashing? Brutalizing and killing a civilian population in order to achieve a political goal? That sounds a lot like the t word, too.
