In response to 'Never again' not only for Jews, but for Palestinians and all humanity

Trump can stop one war today

John sums up the issue of Palestine deftly

Yesterday, Donald Trump made another forlorn plea to Vladimir Putin to stop the war in Ukraine.

Yesterday also saw a young Palestinian boy flung through the air by an Israeli bomb on his house, killing everyone in his family but him and his mother. He was seen sitting shellshocked mere minutes later in the rubble that had been his house.

This is the war that Trump does have the power to stop today. What is it about him that makes him unable to be moved by the sight of that little boy and his mother?

Or by the knowledge that the rest of that family and 2000 other Palestinians have been murdered by Israel with Trump’s acquiescence since the partly US-brokered ceasefire was broken by Israel?
