      Trump was far worse for Palestine though. So much worse.

      Here’s an article about a 38 page plan for a new gaza-flavored trail of tears so they can turn the Gaza strip into a resort.

      https://www.cnbc.com/2025/09/01/gaza-riviera-trump-administration-weighs-post-war-redevelopment-plan.html

      Is this what you non-voted for? I ask because this or something just as bad is going to happen to those people.

      How about this:

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gaza_war_deaths_by_month.png

      Why did the deaths start going up dramatically again in 2025?! WEIRD RIGHT? I WONDER WHAT FUCKING CHANGED. ITS ALMOST LIKE THE PEOPLE PULLING THE TRIGGER NO LONGER HAD ANYONE WITH THE POWER TO AFFECT CHANGE PUTTING PRESSURE ON THEM TO STOP

        Trump is the same for Palestine, he’s worse for you and that’s the only part you give a shit about

        I wish these relevant sourced arguments could bring some around, but they won’t in large part because many of these comments are not American voters and just want to vent.

        Just like we did when we were kids. Except we live here and we vote.

          I was raised republican and you would be even more surprised how completely ineffective this would have been on me in the past. The people that continue to vote republican are so much dumber than you realize. Like find a source that disagrees with them, so they go find new source type dumb.

      Who said anyone was fine with it? Harris and even Biden were working on negotiating to get a peace deal in place. Biden was definitely pro-Israel which I think was part of the problem.

      I believe Harris would have reigned in Israel quite a lot and would have had the US step in as mediators if they didn’t commit to the peace agreement. Instead since Harris lost, Israel was allowed to pretty do whatever they wanted and are pretty much still doing what they want.

      Who do you think wanted to create friction for voters so that some of them would sit out and open up a situation like this? Bad actors. The peace deal was getting pushed back again and again because the people in power saw this as the perfect wedge issue to divide left leaning people.

      Lol, no, I’m certainly not. I do what I can within my limited means although I’m sure I could do more. Sadly, just by virtue of voting, I’ve done more than the majority of my countrymen but I certainly am no paragon of virtue.

      I am a realist though. Realistically the Palestinian people would have been better off, or at the least not worse off, with a Harris administration at the helm.

      Regardless, the diplomacy would have been carried out by the statesmen in the background if she was in office or Trump - Trump just comes with massive baggage.

          Geez, calling me a morally bankrupt coward is just a tad bit mean, don’t ya know? Also doesn’t really address the actual real world we’re in where we are voting on an office which is making decisions that go far beyond only the tiny part of the world that is Israel/Palestine.

          Like I don’t know how naive and narrow minded one has to be to think a world with Trump in charge of the USA is better than the alternative.

          Like, obviously, if I could waive a magic wand I’d change a whole fuckpile of stuff about our government and our system of living as a whole. Unfortunately, presumably, much like yourself, I’m not magic.

            A lot of our friends here have only a mass-media understanding of American politics. And given that mass media is utterly terrible, it’s . . . a crooked understanding.

            I don’t owe civility to anyone making excuses for the fucking democrats, nothing about the “real world” requires you to accept their complicity in genocide you decided to do that shit on your own

      Be fair. Centrists were willing to sacrifice everyone’s comfort and stability as long as they didn’t have to tell netanyahu no.
