Hypocrisy Thy Name Is Trump, by Philip Giraldi

The other Trump Derangement Syndrome. From Philip Giraldi at unz.com:

His Cult of Personality Grows even as his Popularly Declines

In some ways it is refreshing to have a president who is so profoundly ignorant that one’s expectations regarding what good policies might actually come out of the federal government are really, really low. It took Donald Trump six months to accept the reality of the slaughter going on in Gaza where Israel is killing roughly one hundred Palestinians every day whose only crime is that they are looking for food, water and shelter. Admittedly Trump has actually been bold enough to challenge his Israeli masters by declaring that videos from Gaza show a lot of people who Trump admitted were “starving”, and promised to “take care” of it. Yet he has done nothing but support the Israeli blockade and repress or even deport any voices in America who protest against the war crimes. And right before Trump promised to “take care” of starving Palestinians, an Israeli official described his pleasure to report that when it came to pressuring Israel “to allow more humanitarian aid into Gaza, Trump [has] made no such requests.” So the killing continues, financed armed and supported by Donald J Trump just as was the case under Genocide Joe Biden.

Indeed, instead of pushing Israel to allow in aid, Trump partnered with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to destroy the existing United Nations system for delivering it. As Trump took office in January, Israel banned access to Gaza by the United Nations Agency for Palestinian refugees in Gaza, and Netanyahu was and still is backed up by Trump. Trump’s chief negotiator Steve Witkoff has boasted that there is “no space” between the president and Netanyahu on handling the Gaza issue, with Trump continuing to call on the Israelis to “finish the job,” which clearly means doing whatever necessary to get rid of the Palestinian “problem.” Trump has also made clear that Israel will “manage” and “preside over” the distribution of goods as part of its security measures to keep Hamas from stealing the food, which is a lie that has been heavily promoted by Israel. Armed Israeli settlers have also been given a green light to intercept and blockade food and medicine convoys as they approach the Gaza border.
