This is the highest death toll in a day in nearly two weeks, one analysis found.

    We can only hope it is not another smoke and mirrors “ceasefire” that is broken by Israel shortly after the start date.

      If there’s one thing I know about Trump, it’s that occasionally he does good for the wrong reasons. I’m hoping this is one of those times.

        He LOVES Saudi money so likely as not he’ll push for giving the Saudis a contract to rebuild. Can’t rebuild in a warzone, and if there’s no buildings it’s hard to justify the grift. So yeah, what you say makes sense. I hope for peace for Gaza.

          Only question will be how they rebuild. Will it actually be for the Palestinians or the expansion of Israel.

          Of course that’s only if Israel doesn’t immediately break it

          Absolutely. Every single government deal made for the next two years is going to profit Trump personally to some extent. That’s why he ran a second time, because there’s no better way to monetize everything you do than being the president of the United States.

          Hell, Obama makes a cool half a mil just for standing at a podium for 30 minutes and talking.

          I say two because, historically, it’s a near certainty that a president who enters office with Congress will lose control at the mid-terms. It happened to Clinton, Dubya, Obama, and Trump. Trump will have four years as POTUS, but only two of them with total power.

        yes. I hope his lifelong antisemitism somehow wins out over his willingness to accept any and all bribe money. It may be the only way to stop Israel’s war crimes, when both US parties have bene bought in order to continue them.
