Lol this is low quality propaganda, and political circus, America is openly directing the genocide in Gaza and now Lebanon. Propaganda pieces like these are just mechanisms to wash trump's hands while the zionist butchers continue to do America's dirty work killing innocent civilians to take their land and resources.

This Axios propagandist Has made a career of writing the same piece over and over:

Barak Ravid on trump's angry call on 2026

Barak Ravid's article on Biden's angry call on 2024

You enabled it and got played

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 12 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

America has been getting played by Israel since the 40s

[–] Ilixtze@lemmy.ml 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Not at all, This genocide is all part of America's plan Israel is just doing the, dirty work.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I think if you asked a Joe Biden voter in 2021 "Are you excited to do genocide across the Levant for the next ten years?" they would not be enthusiastic.

Hell, even the Trumpies don't like our war with Iran (mostly because of gas prices, but still...)

The genocide is part of a Eugenics campaign cooked up by The Epstein Class. But so much of America is just along for the ride.

[–] Ilixtze@lemmy.ml 3 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

But American voters don't count in this equation because America is not a representative democracy. America is a bunch of corporations and arms dealers in a trench coat pretending to be a free democracy. Both political parties have had their part on the genocide. And It's Illegal for Americans (and increasingly Europeans) to do anything that matters against the programmed bloodshed. We have have been funding killing civilians for decades. We are just seen as a little piece of the machinery and they will just try to flood us with propaganda like the one on this article to keep us stalled while they continue their profitable mass murder.

America is not a representative democracy.

A hard pill for the electoralists to swallow.

Both political parties have had their part on the genocide. And It’s Illegal for Americans (and increasingly Europeans) to do anything that matters against the programmed bloodshed.

Okay, but you can't say that too loudly without being accused of shilling for an Evil Foreign Country.

Whataboutism!

He's right. I used to think of Israel as just another country, and now I regard them the same way I regard North Korea.

[–] CultLeader4Hire@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago

Israel, Russia and the US is the new axis of evil

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Netanyahu turned Israel into Israpel.

[–] some_guy 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

In what has been described as one of the worst calls between the two, Trump “steamrolled” Netanyahu, a US official said, and Netanyahu responded with “OK, OK just make sure everything is taken care of”.

It's the Reagan moment where he figured out that he could tell them to stop for whatever they were doing and they stopped. Trump cares a lot about what people think. I would love it if he finds israel too toxic to support and cuts them off.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 1 points 20 hours ago

I would love it if he finds israel too toxic to support and cuts them off.

I'm hoping he's senile enough to lack the impulse control to bomb Bibi's house.

[–] CyroSignal@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

It's just a minor crisis, he'll forgive him.

[–] Chivera@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

Sure he did then Netanyahu apologized and promised to do better.

[–] the_armchair_potato@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago

And what does everyone think of America with Trump as their leader 😆😅. Entitled, ignorant cunt!!

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 152 points 2 days ago (3 children)

And it won't matter as long as Israel receives money and support from the US.

And I doubt the US will ever stop.

[–] MrNesser@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

The USA has literally funded terrorist groups aka "freedom fighters" such as the IRA, the Taliban, and the Contras around the world for decades. Supporting a nuclear powered rogue state is nothing new unfortunatly

[–] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Well... none of those are nuclear powered rogue states, so maybe somewhat new

[–] gandalf_der_12te@feddit.org 2 points 23 hours ago

And I doubt the US will ever stop.

naah there's legitimate reason to believe that they will stop

for one, israel has mostly existed to pressure arab countries into giving the US oil. because no modern society functions without a lot of energy. now with renewable energy, that's significantly less important so i don't see why the US would go through all these hassles just to get energy.

[–] Sabin10@lemmy.world 71 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Isreal is the best way to funnel billions of dollars back to American defense companies, of course it's not going to stop.

[–] Taldan@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

It also directly goes to politicians through AIPAC

He was told that Iran would fold quickly and it would be an easy win for his ego. It’s not happening, and even Fox News can’t sugarcoat the fuel crisis for months and months.

[–] CannonFodder@lemmy.world 45 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Now he's looking at Cuba for his 'win'.

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 32 points 1 day ago

Cuba was being planned well before the Iran War started.

[–] elucubra@sopuli.xyz 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You thought gas prices are bad? Just wait until sugarcane sugar skyrockets!

[–] errer@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We don’t use any of that commie sugar in the US, all corn squeezins baybee

probably suggested by NETANYAHU, if you dont want these epstein files to be released, distract the public by attacking iran, and also benefiting us by giving us aid.

I remember reading a news article about Lindsey Graham who aggressively pushed Trump to attack Iran, while traveling to Israel to get "coached" on how to sell this.

Republican U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina has been exposed by the Wall Street Journal for "coaching" a foreign leader on how to influence Donald Trump.

The WSJ ahead of the weekend published a story called, "Lindsey Graham's Quest to Sell Trump on Striking Iran." In that piece, there is a nugget about the senator engaging in a campaign to help Netanyahu to persuade Trump to launch an Iran war. [...]

"To help make the case on Iran, Graham traveled several times to Israel in recent weeks, meeting with members of the country's intelligence agency," the Journal reported Friday. [...]

The report further states, "He spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, coaching him on how to lobby the president for action. Netanyahu showed the president intelligence that persuaded Trump to go ahead, Graham said." (source: msn, mention WSJ article, archived WSJ article)

Honestly, the fact the Graham openly talks about this is just insane. I guess this shit isn't illegal, nor does it make people question you...

How about instead of Cuba you invade Israel Mr President? Now that would be something no president world ever have done. You would surely go down in history! I'm sure we can also come up with some kind of biggest penis peace prize for you.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 21 points 1 day ago (6 children)

And what, make it the 51st state? ☹️

[–] ZombieMantis@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago

We can keep it a territory, that's fine. They don't need to vote.

Besides, enforcing the Civil Rights act on them would be a delight to see.

[–] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 day ago

👐the best state👐

Baby throws tantrum.

Can we get a conservative to translate?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 12 points 1 day ago

fox, newsmax, oan, and many right wing pundits will not even report on this.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Something something both sides the exact same

[–] Ilixtze@lemmy.ml 2 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

More like employer and thug. America sends money to Israel to do their genocide and half europe benefits from selling them weapons. Genocide economy baby!

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 2 points 20 hours ago

Hello Pot. My name is Kettle.

[–] AWistfulNihilist@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This article is thinly veiled pro-trump propoganda.

[–] go_go_gadget@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

And it works because Biden is a zionist piece of shit who also belongs in prison.

[–] einkorn@feddit.org 44 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Wow, a rare moment of clarity for Trump?

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 48 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's an unsourced alleged phone call from a British rag. I'm really not holding my breath on this one

[–] Nick@mander.xyz 26 points 1 day ago

If it makes you feel better, it's not originally from a British rag, it's actually from White House mouthpiece Barak Ravid at Axios! The same "reporter" who's been edging the public for months about an Iran agreement being imminent to help manipulate the market every few days. So I'm sure it's true :)

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

people with dementia to a get an air of clarity before falling back into dementia.

He sniffed a baboon's ass, then got mad that he got shit on his nose.

[–] Bwaz@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

For once, he's not wrong. Though the exact same could be said about him & USA.

[–] SaltSong@startrek.website 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Huh. I guess even Trump can't be wrong all the time.
