“Several Muslim and Arab supporters of Trump said they hoped Richard Grenell, Trump's former acting director of national intelligence, would play a key role after he led months of outreach to Muslim and Arab American communities, and was even introduced as a potential next secretary of state at events.

“Another key Trump ally, Massad Boulos, the Lebanese father-in-law of Trump's daughter Tiffany, met repeatedly with Arab American and Muslim leaders.

“Both promised Arab American and Muslim voters that Trump was a candidate for peace who would act swiftly to end the wars in the Middle East and beyond…”

The evangelical community NEEDS!!!! Israel to exist because they want Armageddon. — no really.

I'm just waiting for all the people who abstained from voting against him to appease their conscience to start realizing how much worse things are going to get for Palestine. I really hope I'm wrong, but Trump is already on record about his expectations.

Genocide and burning people alive isn't possibly the worst of it is it?

Trump wants the conflict "ended in a week" and Israel obviously isn't willing to negotiate in good faith. The only alternative is pulling out the stops and just bombing the whole country, and Palestine ceases to exist. That is Trump's solution to everything he doesn't like, but fortunately this week it seems like our Senators are finally growing a spine and pushing back against him so we'll see what happens there.
