He may not be in office, but Donald Trump has been speaking with the powers that be about Israel’s war on Gaza—but it’s not in an effort to end the genocide.

Instead, Trump has allegedly been talking with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to avert a cease-fire deal, fearing that doing so could help Vice President Kamala Harris win in November, according to PBS.

“The reporting is that former President Trump is on the phone with the Prime Minister of Israel, urging him not to cut a deal right now, because it’s believed that would help the Harris campaign,” said PBS’s Judy Woodruff Monday night. “So, I don’t know where—who knows whether that will come about or not, but I have to think that the Harris campaign would like for President Biden to do what presidents do, and that’s to work on that one.”

    Why not just blame Trump for the war in Ukraine

    I’ve heard more than one Lemmy-ite make this claim. Of course, I’ve also heard any criticism of the Israel genocide is the product of Russian botnets and Iranian sleeper agents.

    The scapegoating is off the charts. Anything I don’t want to think about is due to a nefarious foreigners and their kompromat fifth columnists at home.
