Israel never honors cease fire agreement -- anywhere, ever. Israel simply continues murdering unarmed noncombatants. When an independent investigation is conducted into the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks, it will establish that most of the Israelis who died were murdered by the Israeli military.

US โ€™drops Hamas disarmament demandโ€™ in Gaza ceasefire talks The Trump administration has reportedly said it is willing to drop the demand of Hamas disarming to reach a comprehensive ceasefire deal in Gaza.

The U.S. is giving up its delusion that Hamas can be defeated. Israeli generals have made it clear to the politicians long ago that Hamas can't be defeated. Hamas will continue to fight US-Israeli genocide. ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ And drive the foreign invaders out of their homeland. ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ

Same here. Well, now the Statue of Liberty is a historic monument, reminding us of a time when the federal government at least WENT THROUGH THE MOTIONS of respecting liberty. Future generations need to know there was once an alternative to the MAGA fascist dystopian hell.

Almost everything Donald J. Trump does makes the United States weaker and China stronger. Frankly, I don't find that terribly troubling. China doesn't constantly bomb and invade other sovereign states. That is a favorable quality, in my opinion. But why is Trump handing the future to China? ๐Ÿค”
