    The felon scurrying off to ME. For a photo op with hostages

    And another donation for favours for his crime family from wealthy Arab donors

    Any wagers on Donnie using that photo-op to whinge about not getting the Nobel? Or will he & MAGAworld now do their damnest to pretend that he was never obsessed about that?

    what jumped out at me re all the visiting , parliment appearances , whitcoff , et al address at the hostages square meeting , etc, etc, are ALL Israeli based, Israeli directed . AND not a thought spared for the SUFFERING Palestinians and their dead. Nobody thought about putting a foot in Gaza to witness at first hand the physical destruction caused



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 4,248 ✭✭✭Field east


    OH , I almost forgot, the Palistinians are second class citizens at best, have no sovereign country, etc, etc, etc. so they are not deserving of such attention!!!!!!!!!

    Hardly surprising, this peace deal is just about Israel and of course Trump,it's great that the hostages that haven't been killed by Israeli indiscriminate bombing are free but Israel will no doubt find a reason to carry on to some degree with or without Trump .

    That's the sort of approach that caused Harris to lose the election. Just because the Mooch was part of Trump's circle doesn't mean he couldn't be useful to the Democrats now, or useful to anyone that wants to get away from the Trump era. The only way the Democrats can win is if they start reaching out to everyone that's anti-Trump, not just the traditional Democrats or left-wing loons. Create a broad party of different backgrounds that can compete against Trump's torrent of lies.

    Looking at Last week tonight, the US has just crossed the Rubicon with this Paramount/CBS merger. Ellisson installing this Bari White character as head of News, who is a full on Right wing/zionist dressed up as a liberal to pretend she has some middle ground credentials. The US will now have Fox, OAN, Newsmax and CBS spewing forth MAGA lies unchallenged whilst CNN and MSNBC have toned down their pushback. The place is well and truly fcuked.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,563 ✭✭✭✭Jelle1880


    That Bari Weiss is a massive grifter.

    'I'm such a liberal haha silly old me but I only talk to conservatives'.

    Watching the Knesset broadcast on Sky at the moment. It's sickening listening to the house speaker go on and on about their own righteousness.

    Showing no grace at all - its all about total victory - as he sees it. He's praising Trump to the heavens - which is fair enough - but will the peace last.

    NOBEL PEACE PRIZE INCOMING 2026…….

    There are others on Boards who will no doubt articulate better what is going on.

    Israelies seem to have caught a dose of the standing ovations..

    What now for Netanyahu I wonder? Am sure he's biding his time for the next move



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 470 ✭✭tarvis


    Trump has a front seat at an Israeli celebration of Israel and its war.
    And he thought it would all be about him -

    'Plenty to worry about': Billionaire hedgefunder warns America could be heading into a civil war

    "Dalio stressed that the U.S. is already enduring internal strife over how wealth is distributed and how the country should be governed, and that this polarization is fueling disorder.

    He warned that the internal political landscape is dangerously fragmented by rising wealth inequality and divergent visions for the future."

    Trump does not care about debt, he dropped 6 companies into bankruptcy and walked, he is the original phoenix.

    Last time out he piled debt onto USA and is presently doing it all over again but at a much rapid rate and larger.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,365 ✭✭✭✭Leroy42


    Yeah, because getting support from the likes of Liz Cheney really helped



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,251 ✭✭✭ledwithhedwith


    Is this a major achievement for Trump?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,931 ✭✭✭threeball


    As soon as they get the hostages back, they'll blame Hamas for some atrocity and resume the bombing and genocide.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,365 ✭✭✭✭Leroy42


    Yes. This is big. And will play out really well. The rest of the world leaders are all behind him on this.

    Yes, he faffed about, and clearly this is a deal that the Israelis were happy to accept at this time, rather than the same deal under Biden, but it still comes down to Trump getting this over the line.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,251 ✭✭✭ledwithhedwith


    Bit mad to me hes done something useful but fair play.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,421 ✭✭✭✭ancapailldorcha


    Too early to say. I'm not sure he even had anything substantial to do with it.

    The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

    Leviticus 19:34



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,323 ✭✭✭✭A Dub in Glasgo


    Not really considering Trump has been cheerleading the genoicde and he provided Israel with weapons and political cover to continue the genocide. The sight of the leaders of genocide back-slapping each other in Israel today is vomit inducing.

    Certainly too early i think hes had some very very short term ceasefires recently

    Well,

    He should be going back to court to face an indictment for bribery & fraud (he's currently subject to 3 separate investigations) but he's punted again this week saying that he's "really busy" this week with vital meetings with the Cypriot PM.

    He's been using the Gaza situation to avoid being deposed for his indictment so in theory , if peace does indeed prevail then he'll have to go to Court and fight the charges.

    The prevailing wisdom is that they have him dead to rights and he'll get convicted and jailed if the trial ever takes place.

    Now of course , if the peace deal were to collapse for some reason , Netanyahu could again delay the trial due to "exigent circumstances" as he has been doing for an extended period.

    So.. Does Netanyahu got to court and then likely jail , or will there be some reason why the peace deal collapses thereby keeping him free and in power?

    Who knows what might happen??



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 356 ✭✭somenergy


    Convicted felon let gaza war continue till the peace award now get photo op he does noting 4 anybody.

    You might like the Empire podcast too. It's not just British stuff. I used to like Behind the Bastards too, but they slowed down making them at some point, so I drifted off.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,812 ✭✭✭yagan


    Nothing really changes for Israel, but for Palestine recognition by multiple western states has given them optimism that wasn't there before.

    Another aspect is that Iran hit several key military targets of the Israeli state, so the iron dome sense of security isn't there anymore.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,160 ✭✭✭Stanley 1


    Nope, Hamas already have armed fighters on the streets to exert control from/over other armed gangs.

    Would not be surprised to see the 1700 released back on the streets tomorrow, armed up to the hilt.

    Just plagiarized Biden's plans and called it his own, much as how Trump Inc., operates, stealing deals and ideas from others, mafia style.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,609 ✭✭✭✭everlast75


    Only when they work, and when they don't, he didn't know anything about it…

    Elect a clown... Expect a circus
