    At least post the full quote

    What I said very plainly is get it over with, and let’s get back to peace and stop killing people. And that’s a very simple statement. Get it over with. They’ve got to finish what they finish. They have to get it done. Get it over with, and get it over with fast, because we have to, you have to get back to normalcy and peace,” Trump told The Hugh Hewitt Show.

    It’s really sad Democrats have to resort to out of context quoting like Republicans these days. But when a party runs on lies and populism it’s what you gotta do I guess.

      That’s additional and superfluous. It does not in any way negate the initial message.

      Even with your classic “taking it out of context” Trump defense, this is indefensible.

        Did you read it?

        You can find many Trump quotes praising Netanyahu and other crazy shit. This is not the statement you want to pick out.

          I read that along with “finishing what they started” and “without recording everything” to mean, “eradicate Palestine without documentation so you aren’t held accountable, and restore peace to Israel.”
