We need to make sure that the genocide in Lebanon stops. We need real structural systemic change. We need a new paradigm for what's taking place because it's absolutely horrific. Trump and his neocon war hawks have made things infinitely worse. um i root for peace i root for peace uh marco rubio doesn't root for peace he's a sick human being he's right now in the middle east trying to undermine the mou he's lying about the terms of the mou uh he's notably he notably was not there in switzerland when jd vance was involved in the technical
