But, being MSDNC, will they say this is a wise thing politically, or just petty and TDS?
The two words Democrats are avoiding in praising the Israel-Hamas peace deal
Democrats are heaping praise on the peace deal struck between Israel and Hamas, which unlocked the release of all living hostages in Gaza. But there are two words most Democrats are omitting when discussing the peace agreement: “Donald” and “Trump.”
In statement after statement, Democrats on Capitol Hill lauded the end to the fighting, the liberation of hostages and the hope of a new chapter in the Middle East, applauding “all involved in succeeding to broker the ceasefire agreement” and touting the “power of diplomacy” for getting the globe to that moment.
“After two years of abduction and torture, every living hostage is finally home. Those who were taken on October 7th will outlast the terrorist organization that tore them from their families and homes and unleashed a war of untold suffering,” Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., wrote on social media. “Against all odds, the timeless call to ‘Let My People Go’ has been answered.”
Notably, however, there was no mention of Trump.
The same could be said for Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y.
Jeffries called the agreement “an extremely welcome development.”
“The world will be a better place with a safe and secure Israel living side by side in peace and prosperity with the Palestinian people able to achieve the dignity and self-determination they deserve. We must all recommit to achieve that outcome,” Jeffries said.
Things like this
Anyhow
The divide between celebrating the deal while ignoring the man who helped broker it highlights the politically tricky terrain Democrats find themselves in. They want to laud the potentially historic peace agreement without giving credit to Trump, a figure they and their voters largely loathe and whose actions throughout the war have drawn criticism.
It’s the latest flashpoint in the long-simmering debate within the Democratic Party over Israel, which has pitted pro-Israel Democrats against progressive lawmakers who sharply criticized the treatment of Palestinians in Gaza — a discourse that has played out publicly.
How much is straight TDS, how much is Israel/Jew hatred (many are still Blaming Israel and commiserating with Palestinians/Hamas)? Or some combination? Heck, some Dems haven’t even mentioned the peace deal at all. And there are some Democrats, like Hillary Clinton, Jon Ossoff, and John Fetterman, who laud the deal and give Trump credit.
It shouldn’t be like this, not with foreign affairs when there is a definite win.
One would hope so.
– During the coverage on Monday, CNN International’s Christiane Amanpour suggested that the Israeli hostages were, more or less, treated better than an ordinary Gazan because they were bargaining chips in this conflict.
No, lady—they were raped, tortured, starved, and murdered. –
FOAD, bitch.

The pro-Hamas bots are already trending on Twitter — I refuse to call it ???? — screaming that the fight must go on, that ‘Palestine’ must be free.
How do you get an independent nation? You fight for it and win it on the battlefield! We fought for our nation, against both the Indians and the British. Some Americans then fought for another nation, but lost their fight for independence, and the Confederacy is no more. The Jews fought for their independence and won, in 1948, then had to fight consolidating wars in 1956 and 1967, winning both times.
The nations of Europe were formed after two thousand years of struggle. Poland’s borders are where they are because Germany lost World War II, and the USSR, which won, shifted Poland’s borders 200 kilometers to the west, taking land from Germany, and then taking land from pre-war Poland and incorporating that into Belarus and Ukraine!
The ‘Palestinians’ will get their own nation when they stop being the candy-asses they are and win it on the battlefield.
