At this point, I am oblivious to that old "they hate us because we're free" chestnut we keep hearing from Trump and his team. I see that as catering to the ignorant and brainwashed conservative voter base who get their opinions from the church and Fox News.
Listen to what Musk says at the end. He talks about a kind of Marshall plan for Gaza, in which Gaza is allowed to thrive economically after it is reconstructed. Do you know what this means? It means ISRAEL WILL BE FORCED TO LIFT THE SIEGE.
Couple this with Trump's threat to "release the hostages", which people take to mean him threatening Hamas to release the Israeli hostages. After all, what else could he mean given his pro-Israel stance? Trump doesn't like Netanyahu and has hinted at this on numerous occasions. What if the threat targets Bibi? What if he's talking about the 10,000+ Palestinian 'prisoners' who are abducted and held indefinitely without trial and are in fact HOSTAGES? What if Trump knows the only way to free hostages on both sides is through diplomacy? Isn't Trump a dealmaker? This means give and take, i.e. Israel must give and stop taking or there will be "hell to pay".
Trump and Musk are reading from the same playbook. They say things without saying them outright, because the Trump voter base is not ready yet. Saving Israel for last. Last for a reason.
