Summary
Trump’s nomination of Pete Hegseth, a Fox News presenter with minimal managerial experience, as defense secretary has stunned the Pentagon.
Hegseth has been a vocal critic of the military, calling for a purge of generals and questioning the appointment of Gen. Charles Brown as chair of the joint chiefs of staff.
Hegseth’s nomination is seen as a boost for the far right in Israel, as he has shown support for territorial expansion and suggested the construction of a new temple on the Temple Mount.
Pug I usually respect your takes, but this isn’t one of them.
For nearly a century it’s been a state of apartheid, the genocide in earnest started after oct. The UN and many other institutions have raised huge concerns over it.
It feels like you’re just trying to downplay what Palestinians are actively going through under Biden to push on the angle of Trump being worse. Honestly it reeks of genocide denial, which I suspect wasn’t your intent.
“Palestinians are being genocided, but that doesn’t mean that the genocide can’t happen faster or in a more bloody manner”
“I think you’re just trying to downplay what Palestinians are going through under Biden”
???
No. It really didn’t start in October.
Yes, they have, and rightfully so. The escalation of the genocide to where it is now is a major atrocity, beyond where the genocide was before.
Don’t be fooled for a single fucking second that this is as bad as it gets.
Exactly, it’s such a bizarre statement. It’s like saying ghettoes and the holocaust were the same thing.
I’m also guessing that the people in Gaza who are still alive think that it could definitely get worse. What with them not being dead yet.
To quote Dr. McCoy.
“He was worse than dead!”
Can we at least call it Super Genocide?
You… You think that is an angle? Wait and see how not worse Trump is for the people in Gaza.
Let’s see if they even survive until next year first.
