If Israel is forced to resume fighting against Hamas in Gaza, the U.S. is expected to provide full support, according to Col. (Ret.) Rich Outzen, Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council.

He told ILTV that even under the previous administration of President Joe Biden, the amount of military aid and ammunition that was withheld from Israel was “very, very minor.”

“With the Trump office, I suspect whatever his reservations and whatever his tempering language and maybe even criticism at some points, you’ll still see full military support,” Outzen said.

    Suddenly hearing crickets from the “Genocide Joe” crowd. Would still love an explanation of how this is supposed to somehow be “better” for the people of Gaza.

      Most leftist voters around me knew that a vote for Harris or Trump was a vote for genocide, but I don’t think anyone but the truly gullible thought that a vote for Trump was a vote against genocide. Most voted for Harris as a means of harm reduction, especially considering that Harris could probably be pressured out of genocide if we made a big enough stink.

      The whole “Genocide Joe” trope reminds me a lot of the “Bernie Bro’s” trope of 2016; a largely manufactured division of leftist and liberal voters to promote infighting.

      They are probably too busy gobbling up the next piece of Russian propaganda to care about this anymore.

    If? Israel being “forced” to resume their genocide (according to themselves and other Zionist cultists, of course) is as predictable as both them and the majority of the most powerful politicians in the West lying through their teeth about it.
