[Salon] Ralph Nader writes President Donald Trump



From the desk of Ralph Nader

To President Donald Trump:

You call yourself a “peacemaker.” Fearing Netanyahu and his domestic lobby, you are a war-maker. Netanyahu violated violently the ceasefire you took credit for at the end of the Biden Administration. His U.S. weapon-equipped military has continued its genocide against defenseless Palestinian families, killing in one day over 400 mostly women and children and injuring nearly a thousand in a tiny enclave where the hospitals and clinics have been destroyed by Israeli F-16s. 
 
Not only have you stood aside, you have actively supported Netanyahu’s massacres both verbally and by sending more weapons and 2000 lb bombs. You press Putin for a ceasefire, yet are afraid to press Netanyahu to observe the ceasefire’s stages and stop the killing. Millions of Americans are seeing your double standard and calling it for what it is—cowardliness and gross hatred of the decades-long violently occupied Palestinian people. Some of these Americans, who voted for you, falsely believed you were different from your weak predecessors. They now see they have been betrayed.
 
It would only “take one call” by you to stop the slaughter. As you said in April 2024: “Get it over with and let’s get back to peace and stop killing people.”

-Ralph Nader
