News on the situation in Israel with Gaza continues to emerge. While a ceasefire was just announced, President Trump has announced he would terrorize the “Gazan people” with “more misery” in a Tweet:

President Donald Trump has expressed his full support for Israel after another escalation in the conflict, when Gaza militants launched hundreds of rockets and IDF responded with massive air strikes.
“These terrorist acts against Israel will bring you nothing but more misery,” Trump tweeted, advising the Gazan people to “END the violence.”
Disregarding the Israeli use of force against residents of Gaza and the mounting casualties there, Trump stressed that the United States “support[s] Israel 100%” in its defense of its citizens’ against “a barrage of deadly rocket attacks by terrorist groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad.”
At least 18 people were killed in Sunday’s Israeli assault on Gaza, WAFA reported, as the IDF take measures protect its civilians from hundreds of rocket launches by Hamas or Islamic Jihad militants that had escalated on Saturday.
Over 320 “terror sites” had been struck by Sunday evening, the IDF said, after militants from the enclave fired over 600 rockets. At least four people in Israel were killed and at least 10 injured by shrapnel from rockets, missiles and mortar shells from the Gaza Strip, Times of Israel reports.
As Egypt and the European Union reportedly continue to attempt brokering a ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinian groups, the cross-border battle continues. The IDF said it targeted “observation headquarters, underground bunkers, weapons caches, military facilities, launchpads, observation posts and more” in its most recent air raids. (source, source)
One may have opinions about Palestine and Israel just as one may have that with politicians. However, Trump’s statements here are just wrong. They are the words of a bully, not of an international leader.
Words matter, and while people have stylistic difference, there is a certain decorum that is observed not to mask truth, but because leaders have a certain presence and a responsibility to represent their people, even if the people are generally degenerate. Being “bold and brash” is often an excuse for legitimizing behavior that is openly rude, questionable, or degenerate.
Trump encapsulates all of those things by his statements. Talking about “more misery” for the people who inhabit a small area that can barely assert its own military presence if it wants to is akin to Steve Urkel trying to attack Ted from the old TV show Family Matters- it’s a proposition dead on arrival.
Likewise, one may want to ask about who the Gaza militants are, and who they are acting under lest one forget the lessons of history.
Benjamin Netanyahu announced previously that Mahmoud Abbas of the PLO was a KGB agent, meaning that he would have been working for the Russians against the American umbrella plan of Gladio and for the communists and international socialists too commonly found among many Palestinans. Likewise, it is of note that Israel created Hamas and as one article describes it, styled her as an enemy associated with the political left and modeled after the Taliban:
Yassin’s Mujama would become Hamas, which, it can be argued, was Israel’s Taliban: an Islamist group whose antecedents had been laid down by the West in a battle against a leftist enemy.
