The “peace’ president is at it again. Who knows what motivates this agent of chaos, but each day he brings his happy tidings and shenanigans to all sorts of folks, both here in the U.S., and abroad.
Who knows if he means them – could change tomorrow, next week or…never. The important thing to remember is that he’s playing 4D chess.
Trump Says the ‘People of Gaza’ Will Be ‘Dead’ If Hostages Aren’t Released – via antiwar.com
The president again threatened there would be “hell to pay” if Hamas doesn’t immediately release hostages
President Trump on Wednesday issued a threat against the civilian population of Gaza, saying the “people of Gaza” would be “dead” if the Israeli hostages weren’t released immediately.
“Also, to the People of Gaza: A beautiful Future awaits, but not if you hold Hostages. If you do, you are DEAD! Make a SMART decision. RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW, OR THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY LATER!” the president said at the end of a statement released on social media.
Addressing Hamas in the statement, Trump said, “Shalom Hamas’ means Hello and Goodbye – You can choose. Release all of the Hostages now, not later, and immediately return all of the dead bodies of the people you murdered, or it is OVER for you.”
Trump’s threat came after he met with Israelis who were previously held captive in Gaza. It also came afterAxios reported that the US has held direct talks with Hamas for the first time.
“I am sending Israel everything it needs to finish the job, not a single Hamas member will be safe if you don’t do as I say. I have just met with your former Hostages whose lives you have destroyed,” Trump said. “This is your last warning! For the leadership, now is the time to leave Gaza, while you still have a chance.”
The Trump administration recently expedited billions in new weapons shipments to Israel, a move that came right before Israel cut off the entry of aid and all other goods into Gaza in violation of the ceasefire deal with Hamas. With US backing, Israel is trying to get Hamas to agree to new terms that would free Israeli hostages without Israel having to withdraw from Gaza or agree to a permanent truce.
If Hamas doesn’t agree to the Israeli terms, Israel has a “hell plan” that would cut off electricity and water into Gaza to prepare for a full-scale resumption of the genocidal war. Trump has repeatedly stated that he’s willing to back Israel if it chooses to restart the bombing campaign.
Isn’t that just what you’d expect from a president who said he wants to be known as the peace president? Utterly charming! The winning never stops!
Of course, where all the people of Gaza should go, since their land has been turned mostly into rubble, wasn’t mentioned. But I’m sure the agent of chaos is on the case, although it hasn’t been reported that ground has been broken for his vision he called the ‘Riviera of the Middle East’.
The US president posted the clip, which appears to have been published beforehand by accounts unaffiliated with the White House, on the site Truth Social on Wednesday.
It features Trump and the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, sunbathing in a Dubai-style resort while Elon Musk is showered with bank notes while walking on a beach. The clip echoes Trump’s recent comment on Gaza when he said: ‘We have an opportunity to do something that could be phenomenal … the Riviera of the Middle East, it could be so magnificent’ – GuardianNews
Wasn’t that a hopeful message for all the people of Gaza? I’m sure that we all would be having such visions if our home and land had been pulverized and we had no where to go.
