    I’ll translate from mob-boss-speak: when Trump says “finish up,” he means “complete the extermination of the Palestinian people quickly, before the anti-genocide opposition can finish mobilizing to stop it.”

      “Donald Trump did not expressly direct him to reverse engineer financial statements, he ordered him to do so indirectly, in his ‘mob voice.’”

      what anti-genocide opposition?

      Biden hasn’t even stepped back an inch on supporting Israel even after all the protests, resignations, and blatant evidence of war crimes.

        I’m talking about the anti-genocide protestors in Israel and elsewhere who keep getting threatened, arrested, censored, etc.

          Ah I was confused because you said “mobilize” which made it seem like you meant opposition party.

            I mean, surely there are some political parties in Israel opposed to the genocide.

      That’s incredibly speculative. What reason do you have to think Trump cares HOW the conflict ends? When has trump ever cared about anyone besides himself?

        Well, for starters, Trump also said that Israel needs to “finish what they started” and what they started was a genocide, so…

        He also said Israel needs to “get it over with” and that’s something you say when you want someone to complete an unpleasant task rather than abandon it.
