Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsWe need to hear more from TSF about the Gaza plan,
especially the bit about American troops being greeted with candy and flowers.
EDIT: Perhaps it should have put the tag
at the end of this. What I want to hear from Trump is his death rattle.

(10,955 posts)too worried. Bibi isn't going to give Gaza to Trump. That would hurt him with Israeli voters. Unlike every Arab government in existence, Israel is an actual democracy.

Trump was probably riffing at the mic when he said it. That's is the beginning and end of the plan.

(22,695 posts)I heard the same BS before heading into Iraq. We were not greeted with flowers. They said thanks for removing Saddam, you can leave now. It all went downhill after as those of us with even one functioning braincell knew would happen.
It was a mistake then, is a mistake now, will be a mistake in the future.

(179,847 posts)Muslim voters should have never voted for TFG. TFG was always going to side with Bibi and never gave a darn about Gaza or Muslims. Now these voters are realizing their mistake
Trump-backing Muslim voters finally realize they 'made a big mistake': expert: James Zogby, the president of the Arab American Institute, told CNN's Brianna Keilar on Wednesday that many Muslim voters are regretting the decisions they made in the 2024 presidential election.

As Keilar noted while interviewing Zogby, Trump received a major boost from Muslim voters in 2024 due to anger against the Biden administration for its role in helping the Israeli government's war in Gaza that has killed more than 50,000 Palestinians and that Zogby described to CNN as a "genocide.".....
When asked by Keilar if he'd spoken with any of these voters since the election, he replied that he had and they were firmly against Trump's recently stated desire to ethnically cleanse Gaza by removing all Palestinians from their land.
"Many of [the voters] stayed home, and some of them voted for Donald Trump," he said. "But they are now feeling very clearly that they made a big mistake. And, you know, sort of like the kid who gets in trouble and his parents send him to his room and he goes out there and starts throwing stuff around... in a pique of anger. All he's got is a mess and that's what we've got here.
"People didn't vote for Kamala Harris. They voted for Donald Trump. They had their tantrum. And now look what we got. We got a crazy man in the White House who's doing and projecting things that are really, really problematic."
