It seems paradoxical to look to Donald Trump to save the Palestinians, yet no recent American president has been better placed to insist that the Israeli government stop its extraordinary repression and brutality.

 

Trump so far has largely given Israel carte blanche to continue its genocide in Gaza, but Benjamin Netanyahu would be remiss to count on the fickle and self-serving American president. And there may be a way to turn Trump around.

 

 

Most US presidents have stuck with the Israeli government regardless of its atrocities because the political fallout of deviating was too high.

 

Could Trump be persuaded to save Palestinians in Gaza?

 

Kenneth Roth goes on to argue that Trump is not vulnerable to pressure from Israel's supporters in the US because there is no significant political figure to his right in the US for Israel to turn to.

Moreover, the US has given Israel more than $22bn to prosecute its war in Gaza, with no end in sight (more than $300bn since Israel’s founding in 1948). Transactional Trump may start to blanch at these figures.

Plus Trump seems to really want a Nobel peace prize. There's no way that will happen with ethnic cleansing in Gaza or the population corralled into what the former Israeli PM, Ehud Olmert described as concentration camps.

If, on the other hand, if Trump could help form a Palestinian state, a two state solution, money from the rich Arab states would pour in for Gaza's reconstruction.

Of course Netanyahu opposes such a scenario, but if Trump could grow a pair, threaten Israel with turning off US financial and arms assistance if progress is not made, then perhaps Donald's dream of the prize could come true.

No , he won't. The tentacles of Israel in the US government will not allow it.

Trump loves the Jews.

he has covered up for Epstein

His daughter married one.

 

But he couldn’t stop them anyway.

World leaders just go along with his demands, pretend to agree with Trump to feed his frail ego and just ahead and do what they were going to do anyway.

 

He is easily manipulated 

No. This is what Trump has dreams about.

Trump will basically do whatever benefits Trump.

 

He would bomb NY, if on balance, he thought he would benefit from it.

save them from what? the temptation to cross the border and rape and kill innocent party goers?

 

lets face it, if it was the other way around, there would be no mercy.

Not that we are seeing much mercy.

In order to help someone, they have to appear trying to help themselves first, something the Palestinians

seems to be lacking or not wanting to do.

Don't waste your time, you're trying too hard to persuade the already biased crowd here, whereby, in this WOKE new world, murderers and rapists become heroes,
