Donald Trump has asked Putin to join his Gaza “board of peace”
Is this like when Hitler hooked up with Mussolini
No, this is not suggesting Trump is as bad as Hitler. They had extremely similar mindsets and tactics for acquiring massive, corrupt power but Hitlers atrocities were,almost impossible for our minds to comprehend, numerous orders of magnitude worse than Donald Trumps worst.
That being said,below I'm just comparing how the world most diabolical human being in history greatly admired other dictators because of his mindset.
Donald Trump has the dictator admiring mindset.

Just some history on their relationship, since I bought it up.

Since the 1920s, Hitler had greatly admired Italian dictator Benito Mussolini both personally and politically, and he considered Fascist Italy a natural ally for the German Reich. At first, however, Mussolini was hostile to the Nazi regime. He had no sympathy for Nazi racial theories and mistrusted Hitler's expansionist intentions, especially with regard to Austria and South Tyrol, which had belonged to Italy since 1919. Up until 1935, Mussolini repeatedly protested both German rearmament and the country’s aggressive foreign policy, and rejected all of Hitler's attempts at diplomatic rapprochement.

Donald Trump is alienating many of our allies, with Israel being the huge exception because of his close bond with fellow, far right psychopath Netanyahu
Israel continues to slaughter numerous innocent people, especially children. The “cease fire“ is a myth.
Another Donald Trump failure and manufactured ending of 8 wars.

Thanks, Mike!
You know I’ve been no fan whatsoever of and have been outspoken against the Netanyahu govt and his coalition’s extremely aggressive war tactics and crimes. However, whereas I don’t doubt the ceasefire violations that you’ve posted about, I do have to ask if Gaza’s Govt Media Office’s 1,520 can be trusted for being objective. TIA.
Your quote:

Thanks very much, Larry!
That does seem pretty high. I was just passing it on.

Despite what Trump says(and many pro Israel outlets) , the war in Gaza never ended and violations of the cease fire have been ongoing, well past any reasonable point to call it a ceasefire. It's just a continuation of the same war for the same reasons but, temporarily with less intensity.
And it was always going to turn out this way based on the dynamics of the fake peace settlement.
What a monstrous joke this is!
Even as he appears ready to start a war with Iran and break International Laws AGAIN by bombing them again, he pretends to be Mr. Peace. Pretending that he stopped 8 wars.............even while he breaks International Laws by bombing boats/killing people based on the Donald Trump justification of committing murder in International waters and nobody can stop me law.

Re: Trump Deserves Credit For Ending War

Thanks, joj but Trump DID NOT end the war(yet)!
I agree with you that he deserves big credit for bringing the remaining hostages home and in causing the current cease fire and increase in needed aid in Gaza and have stated that several times now.
.....................
But the interview that I watched on CNN with a top IDF official very early this morning made it clear that the war is NOT over.
Trump telling everybody about something and bragging about it, as we've noted in the past usually makes a case for it to NOT be so.
The message of this person, on CNN who lines up with Netanyahu made it clear that the war is NOT over until Hamas throws down their weapons completely gives up.
I hope that happens but wishful thinking that contradicts realities is just wishful thinking.
Hamas is NOT going to just give up and suddenly throw down their arms because Donald Trump orders them to do that when none of their demands are being seriously considered(2 state solution?). They will all die first! How is this not obvious?

I expect Huckabee’s ridiculous statement essentially suggesting Israel should control a good portion of the region from the Nile to the Euphrates based on the Bible (as per Carlson per Genesis), which Israel has shown zero interest in, will be soon forgotten/ignored.

New investigation by Forensic Architecture and Earshot shows Israeli soldiers fired hundreds of rounds during massacre of aid workers in Gaza.
Israeli soldiers fired more than 900 bullets at a convoy of clearly marked Palestinian emergency vehicles in Gaza before advancing to kill the surviving aid workers, some of whom were shot “execution-style” at close range, last March, a new joint investigation has revealed.
The report released on Monday by independent research agency Forensic Architecture and audio investigation group Earshot offers the most detailed reconstruction to date of the massacre in Tal as-Sultan, a neighbourhood west of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, on March 23, 2025.

Re: Re: Re: : Antisemitism is WRONG!

A United Nations commission of inquiry says Israel’s deliberate targeting of children is part of the ongoing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
The report found that about 30 percent of people killed in Gaza since the start of the war were children.
The report noted that Israel’s targeting of neonatal and maternity care centres during its war on Gaza directly endangered Palestinians’ reproductive future and the survival of newborns – driving a rise in miscarriages, birth defects and lasting vulnerabilities.
It found that Israel’s aid blockade in Gaza last year also took a severe toll on Palestinian children, causing starvation-related deaths and a rise in disease as immunisation rates fell.
“The evidence shows that Palestinian children have been deliberately targeted and killed by the Israeli security forces,” Srinivasan Muralidhar, chair of the commission, said.
“Even after the October 2025 ceasefire, children continue to be killed and seriously injured, with continued disregard by Israel for the ceasefire and for the protection owed to Palestinian children under international law.”

Netanyahu, Israel and the morally bankrupt Rs in Congress that support this genocide, want us to believe these changes are being driven by unjustified antisemitism.

Just look at what happened when this diabolical man came to the United States to speak to our morally bankrupt, bought and paid for (by the military-industrial-Jewish lobbyists) R politicians:
https://www.setav.org/en/a-standing-ovation-to-genocide
The applause for a leader who has officially killed over 39,000 people since Oct. 7 has gone down in history as a significant stain on humanity for those applauding.
++++++++++++++++++
https://www.setav.org/en/a-standing-ovation-to-genocide
The prime minister of a state accused of committing genocide in Gaza was applauded 79 times, 58 of which were standingovations, by the U.S. Congress.
Israel's massacres, as evidenced by the U.N. General Assembly, the Human Rights Council's decisions and the ICJ ruling, a truly independent and impartial international judiciary, have clearly shown that Israel has violated international law, committed acts contrary to human rights, and engaged in behavior unbecoming of human dignity.
The ICJ prosecutor has requested the arrest of Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Despite all these international legal decisions, Netanyahu's invitation to the U.S. Congress has driven the final nail ...

Mucho kudos to Jewish longtime Israel supporter and Bibi friend Emanuel to openly oppose Bibi and his extremist coalition.
Agreed, Larry!
Vote will allow Israelis to pass judgment on Benjamin Netanyahu and his handling of conflicts in Gaza and Iran
Eisenkot has surged in the polls to present a serious challenge to Netanyahu. He may be about to become Israel's first Mizrahi prime minister
Eisenkot's rise reflects broader changes in Israeli society since October 7. For years, Israeli politics rewarded charismatic communicators, media performers and political tacticians. Netanyahu excelled in that environment. His mastery of television, social media and international diplomacy helped define Israeli politics for much of the past two decades.
Eisenkot represents almost the opposite model. He is not a particularly polished public speaker. He lacks Netanyahu's international profile, Bennett's entrepreneurial success story and Lapid's media background. His English is functional but far from fluent, a weakness that Netanyahu's supporters have repeatedly highlighted.
Yet qualities once viewed as political liabilities increasingly appear to be assets. After October 7, many Israelis became less interested in performance and more interested in competence, credibility and personal integrity. Eisenkot's understated style, military experience and willingness to accept responsibility contrast sharply with widespread public frustration over the failures surrounding the Hamas attack.
Polling conducted by various political parties reportedly suggests that Eisenkot is also attracting moderate Likud voters who remain uneasy about the growing influence of hard-line coalition figures, such as National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich. In that sense, his appeal extends beyond the traditional centre-left electorate.
Unlike many senior politicians, he continues to project a relatively modest lifestyle and public image. Supporters describe him as pragmatic, disciplined and respectful, even toward political opponents.
His policy positions also help explain his broad appeal.
Eisenkot opposed efforts to weaken Israel's judiciary long before the October 7 attack. At the same time, his military credentials provide reassurance to voters who prioritise security. Unlike Bennett, he has expressed support for seeking future accommodation with the Palestinians, making him more acceptable to centre-left voters while retaining credibility among more moderate conservatives.

Thanks very much, Larry!
Anybody would be better than Bibi Netanyahu!
Netanyahu, (like Donald Trump has done to the United States) has decimated the credibility of Israel.
He has not only turned the rogue country of Israel into a global pariah, he has massively increased global antisemitism.
The term "antisemitism" has a unique connotation because of the history, that includes the Holocaust. However, in this case, it's been mostly the result of the diabolical leadership AND ACTIONS of the Jewish State, specifically because of it's leaders and very similar to the world wide increase in the hatred of the United States because of Donald Trump.
A change in leadership to somebody that isn't a psychopath and genocidal maniac, will stop the justification that is using Netanyahu's behavior to hate Jewish people.
Again, I always speak out against antisemitism(and other forms of racism) which can never be justified but am just speaking the truth about the reality of the root causes for why human beings think the way they do in 2026. .

Mr. Eisenkot may turn out to be just what the Israeli image rehab doc ordered to start turning things in the right direction for a change! I like what I read as I just learned about him. We’ll see.
That's wonderful to hear, Larry!
I trust that you will always know more about him than me because of your personal interest in the matter and have great faith in your assessments!
I feel that this is the best possible outcome for the future of Israel, just like the removal of Donald Trump can start the healing of the R party, America and world.
US president says Israel will withdraw from Gaza once the Palestinian group disarms.
However, Hamad said that Hamas would not implement any part of the agreement if Israeli forces failed to fulfil their obligations. The official said disarmament depended on Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza and progress on reconstruction in the Palestinian territory.
This was the same thing we heard in 2025 and nothing has changed.......yet. Israel, not only did not withdraw its troops and Hamas did not disarm but Israel has continued with it's genocide. Just not at the previous horrific pace.

First phase of ceasefire deal to end war in Gaza agreed by Israel and Hamas
This article is more than 9 months old
Donald Trump announces all hostages will be released ‘very soon’ and Israel will withdraw troops to an agreed timeline
Donald Trump announced the agreement on his Truth Social network saying all of the hostages held in Gaza would be released soon and Israel would withdraw troops to an agreed line Hamas said on Thursday it had agreed to the US president’s proposal and confirmed the deal included an Israeli withdrawal from the territory and a hostage-prisoner exchange.
Israel’s forces would withdraw to an agreed line in the Gaza Strip that would leave them in control of 53% of the territory, a spokesperson for the Israeli government said.
+++++++++++++++==
The reality is that Israel completely ignored the agreement. It isn't much of a war in Gaza. Just a 1 sided genocide of Israel killing mostly innocent women and children and continuing to destroy what's left of Gaza.
Why would anybody believe Bibi Netanyahu who's whoppers are only exceeded by his psychopath friend, Donald Trump.

Gaza Report
July 2026
By the Gaza Task Force
In September 2025, a U.N. Commission Report concluded that Israel has committed four of the five acts of genocide in the Genocide Convention. Yet Israel has continued its atrocitiesagainst Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
Israel continues to commit acts that constitute genocide: killing Palestinians; bombing hospitals to inflict conditions of life intended to destroy part of the Palestinian people; causing severe bodily and mental harm with bombing throughout Gaza and severe mistreatment in detention, including rape and torture; and imposing measures to prevent births through attacks on maternity centres in hospitals and destruction of Gaza’s largest fertility clinic.
The Israeli Military Campaign has killed of over 73,000 Gazans, 80% civilians, and wounded over 173,000 Gazans through intense combat operations, producing wounds typically seen only among professional soldiers. Israeli snipers have killed hundreds of Palestinians in queues for food, including children shot in the head or back.
Israel agreed to free 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and to begin withdrawing forces to a demarcated “yellow line” in Gaza. Israel expanded its area of control.
Israeli airstrikes have continued. Civilians face deadly sniper fire when they cross unclear boundaries. Recent air strikes have killed whole families, including children. Humanitarian aid is limited by Israeli entry-point restrictions. Gaza continues to be devastated by forced displacement, hunger, and destroyed infrastructure.
Prime Minister Netanyahu’s position on the Board of Peace raises deep concerns about bias in the peace and reconstruction process. The Board of Peace has not raised any money or had any donors.
Due to intentional killing of Palestinian civilians, massive destruction of housing and hospitals, officially expressed intent to destroy part of the Palestinian population of Gaza, and official Israeli government denial, Genocide Watch considers Gaza to be at Stage 8: Persecution, Stage 9: Extermination, and Stage 10: Denial.

Nothing new. Same thing they've been insisting on the past 9 months but Israel refuses.
This is nothing but a bs marketing scheme from a delusional president to regurgitate something 9 months old THAT HAS FAILED MISERABLY to save what he thinks is an image as a war ending president.
We know this now because at his Camp David Cabinet Meeting earlier today, he was back to using this to brag all the wars he's' ended again...INCLUDING THIS ONE IN GAZA!
• In Gaza: Meanwhile, Israeli strikes left a huge crater at a hospital in the Palestinian enclave less than 48 hours after Trump announced a potential breakthrough in Israel-Hamas peace efforts, casting further uncertainty on the new agreement.

Who really believes anything that Donald Trump says when he lies more than 95% of the time?
+++++++++++++++
Israel continues to make Donald Trump look even more foolish(if such a thing is possible) and destroy it's own credibility and own future.
Make no mistake: As long as Israel continues to defend it's ongoing genocide in Gaza, the rest of the world will maintain growing disdain for this rogue country's horrific violation of human rights. Israel is now a social pariah state(outcast), losing more of it's friends every time the news features headlines like those above.
Please note the reaction within the United States as an example.
I've made is crystal clear that my position has always been one that supports the success of Israel in the future, being indoctrinated with 12 years of Catholic School to believe today's Jews are the descendants of God's chosen people, the Israelite's. A person couldn't have been raised to put a race/religion on a higher pedestal.
Sadly, the current actions of Israel has caused me to rethink that. I am putting much of the blame on the current leadership in Israel AND SPEAKING OUT!
However, that will NEVER interfere with my warm friendships and respect for Jewish people in my social circle.
