Summary
Palestinians in the West Bank are largely pessimistic about Donald Trump’s re-election, viewing it as unlikely to significantly worsen their already dire situation, though some fear it could embolden Israeli actions.
Trump’s support for Israel’s far-right policies, including the potential dismantling of the UN agency Unrwa and backing of Israeli settlements, could deepen economic hardship and escalate violence against Palestinians.
While some Palestinians worry about increased oppression, others see a Trump presidency as a chance to expose brutal realities, possibly sparking stronger resistance.
Libs would rather hype the “greater evil” than oppose the genocide.
WE ALL OPPOSED THE FUCKING GENOCIDE.
That doesn’t mean we wanted to invite in ADDITIONAL GENOCIDES IN THE U.S.
Jesus Christ, I am so tired of seeing people make excuses for not voting to stop someone who you have been given warning sign after warning sign about because you don’t like Kamala Harris.
It also means that we didn’t want to make the one genocide they’re always on about even worse.
Seriously. “Harris is supporting genocide by being part of an administration selling weapons to Israel, so I’ll let the guy who told Netanyahu to finish the job on national TV win.” What the fuck?
I actually had someone tell me a month or so back that genocide is as bad as it gets and you can’t make it worse once it’s genocide.
These people will lie to themselves about anything rather than take some fucking responsibility.
This was a very common argument I saw. Unfortunately, I think there are people who bought it. It’s so ahistorical, and nobody seems to know anything about the conditions in Germany pre-WW2 (or probably most of the atrocities that the Nazis committed).
There are levels to this shit, it’s not just an on/off switch.
They also wholly disregard that:
Well, what did you expect? ML pretty much flooded this place with genocide Joe nonsense in a very real attempt to crush the west.
Oh this is exactly what I expected. It doesn’t make me any less angry about it.
Yeah: you don’t like personally Harris? Too bad you’d rather have a fascist government
Opposing the genocide meant voting for Harris to avoid this exact situation.
There’s a smallish band of dipshits who care more about shouting about the genocide than stopping it. Not shouting about it (understandable and correct and good) and then stopping it. But actively not stopping it so they can shout.
The only chance–and it was only a chance–to save the Palestinians, was to keep Captain Dipshit away from the steering wheel and bust Harris’ balls incessantly until she did maybe half the right thing.
Because that option is better than what they’ve been doomed to now. But you don’t mind that. You have your purity, and that’s what your core value is.
You’re getting downvoted, but you’re correct…
Ah yes, four people I’ve never heard of that still actually use Twitter definitely proves them right.
Haha. Parlor pinks doing everything they can to get trump elected now complain about trump being elected. Love it.
