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.

    Actions do indeed speak but you do not have that yet with trump. He makes statements, wild ones where anyone with common sense would want to block that idiot from ever being close to a post office, let alone being a president of the US.
    So while Biden could do do things differently, his actions tell us he is making the wrong calls.
    Trump would, according to his own words, round up protestors and have them deported, crush them (whatever that means). He want israel to be able to continue without restrictions. Biden might not do all the right things, I agree, but to compare him on this topic with trump is just plain wrong.

      This argument holds as much water as Biden’s red lines. A lot of lip service and nothing of substance. Does it matter which door you use if you end up in the same room? They are absolutely the same on Palestine
