As people mourn Trump’s win, Democrats have themselves to blame for ushering fascism by way of genocide and normalizing white supremacy
Well then it's a good thing Trump won. Pretty soon you won't need to worry about Palestinians at all because Trump will help make sure Israel can "finish what they started" as he put it. So, good job. Yay you guys for sticking it to Harris.
Harris helped finish the job without trump
I don't know. I voted for Kamala, but I think Trump might actually be better long-term for the Palestinians than Kamala.
Yes, Trump would happily watch as Israel bulldozed and annexed the entirety of Gaza and the West Bank. But Israel's ability to do that isn't contingent on US military aid. What really prevents that is broader global public opinion. If Israel tries a full and rapid ethnic cleansing, it will be completely embargoed by every nation in Europe.
There is a reason Israel has been doing a slow-mo "genocide by zoning code" in the West Bank for years. They know they can't get away with overt genocide, not without facing mass trade embargoes.
The truth is, I really don't know if things can realistically get bad enough in Palestine for the Kamala/Trump distinction to be any different. Even in the case of an overt genocide, Kamala would simply withdraw some offensive aid. Trump would keep that aid flowing, but in either case, if Israel decided to do a full overt genocide of the Palestinians, neither a Trump nor Harris administration would meaningfully intervene.
The only long-term hope for any improvement for US policy on Israel is if Democrat leaders listen to their base and stop supporting them. Kamala was going to be fully pro-Israel. And with Kamala as an incumbent, no anti-Zionist candidate would have been able to run in 2028. Now with Kamala out of the picture, and with her seeming loss due to her and Biden's addiction to fellating Israel, there is room politically for anti-genocide voices to actually have a chance at a major party's nomination.
I would say the chances of an anti-genocide president being in office in 2029 are about 10-20%. With a Harris win, that chance would be 0%.
The people who didn't vote for Kamala, whether they stayed home or voted for Trump, they don't fucking care. They don't care if every Palestinian dies. In fact, if killing Palestinians lowered gas prices, they would probably pull the trigger themselves. And they'd do the same thing to Israel.
Whomever runs next will not give a flying fuck about Palestinians. They might pay lip service, but that's all you get.
This is the real life trolley problem.
You either become an active participant to prevent more people from being killed or you leave more people getting killed without participating.
People should have elected a better leader who have a good ethics to stop the killings from happening in the first place.
No. Dumb take.
Can't wait to hear what you have to say when Trump essentially eliminates Palestinian territory from the map.
Idiots.

And the "principled", "unwaivering", and allergic to nuance helped usher in a fascist who is the self proclaimed "protector" of Israel.
Anyone who thought that the guy who recognized Israel's contested capital, who "fought for Israel like no president ever before," who claimed "Anybody who’s Jewish and loves being Jewish and loves Israel is a fool if they vote for a Democrat,” who believes that the US election day was "the most important day in the history of Israel," who wants to deport students exercising their right to protest the genocide, and who's only criticism of the genocide was that it was too public and slow would be better for Gaza is a deluded fool.
I'm 14 and this is deep.
Was trump any better?
