Trump got into a shouting match with Netanyahu after Israeli PM denied pictures of starving Gazans were real: report

Source: The Independent

Sunday 10 August 2025 22:04 BST


President Donald Trump got into a shouting match with Benjamin Netanyahu after the Israeli prime minister denied that images of starving children in Gaza were real, according to NBC News.

Israel is building up troops as it prepares to possibly take full control of the Gaza Strip. The private phone conversation that devolved into the two leaders shouting at each other reportedly took place on July 28.

The tense discussion came amid U.S. concerns about the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a relief effort backed by the U.S. and Israel, several officials told the network.

On July 27, Netanyahu took part in an event in Jerusalem, claiming that “There is no policy of starvation in Gaza. And there is no starvation in Gaza.” The following day, during his recent trip to Scotland, Trump pushed back, saying that he had seen pictures of children in Gaza who “look very hungry,” adding that the area is suffering from “real starvation” and “you can’t fake that.”

Depressing, to say the least. (And, when even Trump was calling them out for what they are... Gawd knows no one here wants to have to support anything Trump says, but... broken clock--not to mention countless independent international aid groups.)

"Mass starvation is an unfortunate effect of the war."

That many people defending this horror sound exactly like the Holocaust Deniers they claim to despise is really one of history's sadder rhyming moments.

Krasnov (r-felon/golfcheat) don't give a hoot about the starving children,
only that it makes him look bad. There's your stinking G.O.P. "values"

He needs to put pressure on him by stopping all aid and trade with Israel until he gets the IDF out of Gaza and the UN is once more feeding and caring fir the people there. I’m sure even Trump could get other world leaders to do the same. Palestinians need their own state, just as Israel has. The solution to 75+ years of violence cannot be to simply murder all the Palestinians as Bibi is planning to do.

They were talking about this on NPR Saturday morning. If course he doesn't give a rat's ass about starving people anywhere, and there are plenty of places to pick from at the moment. But the optics are bad, and he doesn't like that it's a bad look.

The optics of anything. Or as he says - it makes for bad tv.

Netanyahu is a stone cold butcher whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents. May he rot in the hottest fires of Hell.

1) had a shouting match that didn't benefit him

2) cared about anyone else other that himself

3) that he was awake long enough to even realize what was going on

4) was able to form a complete and logical sentence

Even the Trump people know that tens of thousands will starve and it will be a world historical catastrophe. Only Netanyahu and the hardest of the hard-hearted Deniers are pretending that no massive human-caused famine is unfolding.

Because Netanyahu and his team would announce such outlets are anti-semitic, and he has allies who agree, for whatever reason.

Not hearing "Angel" by Sarah McLachlan anywhere on tv ads these days are we?

That trump would get upset seeing evidence of people so much more worse off than he can collect other people’s pity about, for himself.

And at its most basic, it takes eyes off of him and onto other pictures - featuring those so much more in need and/or in worse circumstances than he’d ever face.

The starving kids, the maimed kids, the dead kids as a result of this U.S./Israel led war, will not be a good look with all the gluttony produced by this trio of gluttonous holidays.

Oh, one more thing, Trumptanyahu (sic/sick) are both full of shit.
