AP source for Trump on Israel Gaza situation:

Trump urges Israel to 'finish up' its Gaza offensive and warns about global support fading

Former President Donald Trump says he would have responded the same way as Israel did after the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas but urged the country to “finish up” its offensive and “get this over with,” warning about international support fading.

Former President Donald Trump said he would have responded the same way as Israel did after the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas but urged the country to “finish up” its offensive in Gaza and “get this over with,” warning about international support fading.

“You have to finish up your war. You have to finish it up. You’ve got to get it done,” he said in an interview with Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom. “We’ve got to get to peace. You can’t have this going on, and I will say Israel has to be very careful because you are losing a lot of the world. You are losing a lot of support.”​

There is ambiguity, here. There are two different issues with Gaza.

One issue is the Oct. 7th invasion where many people in Israel were attacked, kidnapped, killed, etc. In this case, I'm for Israel taking action to rescue them and going after the attackers - and just to be clear, I don't mean all Gazans as "attackers", only the actual individuals who entered into Israel to attack and kidnap people & you can include other active participants who knowingly played a role in it such as those who masterminded it, provided logistical support, etc. If any active intentional help was provided by any outsiders or anyone who wasn't a Gazan, then those individuals also need to be apprehended (BTW Israel's security agencies also need explain why they dropped the ball by failing to prevent the Oct. 7th attack). No individual who's of sound mind or reasonable would consider referring to this as genocide. It could be that this is what Trump is referring to, here.

The other issue involves the high-intensity indiscriminate destruction of Gaza, which includes slaughtering many children, blowing up hospitals full of healthcare providers and patients, targeted destruction of international vehicles providing humanitarian aid, in the guise of rescuing hostages and going after the Oct. culprits. Any individual who's of sound mind or reasonable would recognize this as genocidal. If Trump is ok with this, then he deserves to be condemned as a supporter of genocide; same goes for Biden or anyone else who's ok with this.

How are you defining Genocide?

I didn't define genocide, I'm just going with the existing definition. Is there more than one definition of genocide?

Sad.

Perhaps, but nowhere near as sad as voting for Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden. What would make me happy is someone like Ron Paul or Justin Amash as POTUS.

I’m not sure of your point here.

We were talking about White Supremacy.

Name-dropping doesn’t address the issue.

That’s just your religion.

I've never heard of a religion called "libertarian" (so, that's not what I'm referring to); I'm referring to the political ideology of libertarianism.

To what extent do you seek to impose your own religion on your neighbors?

I'm not religious, so I do not even think about imposing religion on my neighbors or anyone else anywhere.

I'm also opposed to genocide.

What's Donald Trump's position on genocide?

By the way, White Supremacy is cultural.

It’s been here in America for 500 years.

It doesn’t really represent the best that western cultures have to offer.

Genocide isn't exclusively the product of western culture or white supremacism; please explain how this is connected to Donald Trump.

We’re talking about fundamental religious issues here.

Call your cultural outlook a worldview if it makes you happy.

Do you seek to impose your religion/worldview on others?

White Supremacy?

Come on!

It’s part of a 500 year old tradition here in America.

A tradition involked with the mention of his name.

What's Donald Trump's position on genocide?

Well, depeniding on the understanding of religion, you could term some ideologies religion.

Well, I am against it, but sometimes the word is overused for political points.

White Supremacy here in America has a genocidal history. That’s what is being channeled.

The whole notion of an illegal person and an illegal culture is a White Supremacist notion with a long history here in America.

I’ll give you a hint.

Ok, well thank you bringing this to my attention; no, I'm not referring to anything like this at all.

I'm referring to this: Genocide - Wikipedia

Is that the only example you have, or do you have any other examples you can provide?

You referred to this example in your OP.

You voted for that example twice.

Are you going to vote for it again?
