He made the comment a day after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a recorded statement that he has spoken three times with Trump since the election and that they “see eye to eye on the Iranian threat.

    This may just be an observation from across the pond, but it feels like the But Gaza people were nothing but a troll farm and y’all got played.

    Man, this whole situation is all kinds of fucked.

      The “people” bringing it up nonstop on social media might have been state actors or trolls but there were plenty of real people who followed the movement. They’re still “But Gaza!” people regardless of how the idea that they should abstain from voting got into their head.

        Naah. Some of them are still around blaming Harris and democrats for tanking the election.

        It’d be funny if it weren’t so… not funny.
