Former UFC star Jake Shields takes a dig at President Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu
President Donald Trump recently met with the Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu. The duo addressed a joint press conference in which President Trump suggested an American takeover of war-ravaged Gaza after the relocation of its population in the backdrop of the ongoing conflict.
President Trump's proposal drew sharp criticism from global leaders and human rights watchdogs while terming the program an attempt at "ethnic cleansing." Jake Shields joined the critics and questioned President Trump for "ethnic cleansing" of the Palestinian population.
Shields quoted a video on X posted by Pelham showing the destruction that the war has wreaked on Gaza. It compared Adolf H*tler, President Trump, and Benjamin Netanyahu while asking for a difference between the trio in the light of their acts.
Shields' reacted by adding a caption seeking answers to the questions in the post:
"Does anyone have an answer to this? I would also add we have video evidence of one of these genocides and we have to just trust them on the other one."
