Oh FFS.
A strange thing can happen when a person stands up publicly for what's right. Other people see them doing it and some of them, not all certainly but some, are encouraged to do something similar and stand up themselves. Yet other people see this and some of them are similarly encouraged and act similarly, and this ripple effect continues on throughout the population. This can happen even when you’re standing against strong opposition, or worse, against seemingly insurmountable odds. In fact sometimes that increases the effect.
When you do it from an EXTREMELY high profile position like the presidency, it gives you the opportunity to potentially increase the effect by many orders of magnitude.
At the very least, standing up for what’s right encourages those who are already striving for the right to continue on regardless of the apparent odds. And this in itself is totally worthwhile and worth doing, even if it's all you accomplish.
It IS NOT mere virtue signalling.
And you, as usual, are totally full of $#@!.

"Government ... does not exist of necessity, but rather by virtue of a tragic, almost comical combination of klutzy, opportunistic terrorism against sitting ducks whom it pretends to shelter, plus our childish phobia of responsibility, praying to be exempted from the hard reality of life on life's terms."

Why is Trump forcing Israel to give Hamas a victory?
https://x.com/MarinaMedvin/status/1878876698210672690
Reports are now claiming Donald Trump had a hand in forcing Israel to make concessions for this deal.
This is apparently so that Trump won't have to follow through on his threats to Hamas after he's inaugurated.
If true, that's really embarrassing for Netanyahu and for Israel.
