"If he thought it was politically advantageous, [Trump] would level Gaza without a second thought"

He didn't actually say that, just so we're clear here.

He just said Israel should finish the problem and that he'll ban Palestinians from USA, but surely that says nothing about his opinions on the matter? Right? Right?

Can you quote instead? I'm referring to this article, since that's what have I responded to. The headline is clickbait and we should be better than it.

The biggest concern he's showing is the PR problem for Israel. If he cared about the Palestinians when he noted Israel is losing support he wouldn't have pledged to ban them from USA.

If he cared about warcrimes he wouldn't have pardoned war criminals.
