RITTER: Trump Would be as Guilty as Biden of Furthering Genocide if Israel Uses New 2,000-Pound Bombs on Gaza
Former UN weapons inspector says his hope is that the bombs are not used.
The White House’s decision to start pumping Israel with more 2,000-pound bombs was an attempt by U.S. President Donald Trump to buy off the U.S.’s pro-Israel population, but if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu decides to use these bombs on Gazans again, the new president would be just as complicit of furthering the genocide in Gaza as his predecessor, Scott Ritter, the former UN weapons inspector, told Judge Andrew Naplolitano’s “Judging Freedom.”
Trump was critical of Joe Biden’s support of Israel during the campaign and tried to present Kamala Harris, the former vice president and his opponent, as being an unreliable partner to Tel Aviv as it carried out the genocide.
Israel has since agreed to a ceasefire with Hamas that experts see as temporary. Trump, himself, has said he is not optimistic about its longevity.
“The bottom line is, hopefully, these bombs will be put into storage and won't be dropped,” he said. “But if they’re dropped, that means Donald Trump would be as guilty as Joe Biden was of furthering genocide… because that's all these bombs are used for. These bombs weren't used to blow up military targets; these bombs were used to destroy civilian infrastructure or slaughter tens of thousands or more of innocent Palestinian civilians.”

Trump, who has said he could be elected prime minister in Israel, has made early decisions that seem to indicate that Miriam Adelson, the Israel-extremist billionaire, will get her money’s worth after pumping $100 million into the president’s campaign.
Trump announced that he was lifting sanctions on Israel’s most extreme settlers in the West Bank; that he will, once again begin providing Tel Aviv with 2,000-pound bombs, and, although pausing any foreign aid—the spigot will remain open for Israel.
The Financial Times wrote last week that when you consider all of these early moves, it seems to “confirm expectations” that Trump’s team will be the most pro-Israel the U.S. has seen.
Jewish supremacists in the Israeli Knesset wanted Trump because, as president, he withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal, moved the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, and recognized the Golan Heights as being part of Israel, despite international law.
Miriam Adelson’s late husband, Sheldon, a casino billionaire, gave Trump’s campaign $90 million in 2020 in exchange for a promise to move the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, reports said.
As if it weren't spelled out that this was his intention even as far back as his first run for office, but really, this is a surprise? There you all are, waiting for the miracle, the twilight zone between reality and fantasy, rather than admit to yourselves that the government, and most of those around you, and you yourselves, are ZOG zombies.
