Most people don’t even realize that a huge reason Netanyahu was keeping the genocide going was that he’s facing trial for corruption as soon as the “war” is over

Netanyahu tried to dodge his court appearance by claiming a major diplomatic visit was happening today. That turned out to be false. So he showed up in court and then claimed he needed to leave and rest due to bronchitis.

Confirmed by reporters who were there.

I cannot believe people were losing their jobs for being mildly critical of Charlie Kirk and the president of the united states just went on tv and said "skill issue loser, RIP but I'm different"

Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

Insane watching the media praise Trump for this ceasefire. If you stab me repeatedly and then decide to drive me to the hospital in no way are you the hero in that situation. I hope there will be peace but I don’t believe it’ll ever happen.
