Why Is Trump Making Excuses for Hamas?
""They do want to stop the problems, and they've been open about it, and we gave them approval for a period of time," he said. "We are having 'em watch that there's not going to be big crime or some of the problems that you have when you have areas like this that have been literally demolished.""
""They did take out a couple of gangs that were very bad-very, very bad gangs," he said. "And they did take 'em out. And they killed a number of gang members. And that didn't bother me much, to be honest with you. That's okay. A couple of very bad gangs.""
""DEATH TO COLLABORATORS.""
Open support for Hamas in the United States has expanded beyond the far left, including Students for Justice in Palestine circulating talking points endorsing the October 7 attacks and declaring "DEATH TO COLLABORATORS." President Donald Trump characterized Hamas's executions as efforts to curb crime and said the United States gave Hamas approval to monitor and prevent criminality in devastated areas. Trump described Hamas as eliminating violent gangs and expressed little concern about those killings. Trump’s praise aligns with his investment in a tenuous cease-fire, with Hamas agreeing to return bodies but resisting relinquishing authority, while its campaign of murder and intimidation appears aimed at consolidating power and blocking political change.
