    Trumps statement is a direct threat to Israel.

    You realize he’s literally threatening Hamas here, no?

    “It will not be good for Hamas, and it will not be good, frankly, for anyone,” Trump said.

    He seems more likely to stop the genocide by allowing Isreal to just kill everyone so there’s no one left to genocide…

    They are more likely to give Israel a lot of leeway, including releasing Biden’s hold on the transfer of certain weapons to finish the job as soon as possible. Source

    Seems more likely he’ll just let things devolve further…

    Trump would not elaborate on what he meant by his threat — first announced on social media in early December — that “all hell will break out” if a deal is not made.

    “It will not be good for Hamas, and it will not be good, frankly, for anyone,” Trump said. -Source

    Not sure he understands the implications of his own statement…

    It’s funny how people have shortened the metaphor and completely reversed its meaning.

    The original metaphor is that “a few bad apples spoil the whole bunch”

    Also, you gotta love how this list continues through not just decades, but so many examples — almost like a trend:

    Pro-police officials were first recorded as using the metaphor following the beating of Rodney King and it was used following the shootings of Michael Brown, Alton Sterling, Philando Castile, Breonna Taylor, and the murder of George Floyd.
