What does this American election mean for the Gaza war?

I'm sure the Biden Admin's support for Israel cost Harris a lot of votes -- but can we really expect the next Trump Admin to be any more pro-Palestinian?

 

[Politruk]

I mean, how pro-Palestinian was the first Trump Admin?

Just read an Israeli minister thinks now is the time to annex the WB.

Trump has really emboldened those Likud assholes.

Not encouraging.

Not encouraging.

Our Israeli allies disagree

Hamas is so fucked right now it's not even funny. I just hope that it doesn't fuck over the Lebanese or Jordanians too much. Palestine is likely to become an Israeli protectorate in effect, including Gaza as well as the West Bank. I loathe Hamas, but I do fear for those who were innocent of their crimes, even if their numbers were greatly embellished and distorted (duh, the Gazan Health Ministry and UNRWA are Hamas!). How Trump reconciles all of his pro-Russia policy with his pro-Israel stance, I have no fucking clue. The dude isn't mentally disciplined to see the disconnect. To help Russia is to help Iran and North Korea, two very clear enemies of the United States.

Is that better or worse than being occupied territory?

Probably a different dressing for the same salad.

I wonder if Jared will be in charge of Mideast policy again?

It means the Iranians are in deep shit.

The complete extermination of Hamas followed by the complete extermination of Hezbollah. And Iran isn't going to do a damn thing about it.

It's looking more like, the complete extermination of the Palestinians.

Considering there's no such thing as a Palestinian.

They're not Israelis, Egyptians or Jordanians, and they are entitled to some name more specific than "Arab".

Nope.

 

[RobDownSouth]

Trump's nomination for Ambassador to Israel is publicly on the record as saying "there is no such thing as a 'Palestinian' ". Historically, the Gaza genocide will probably be ranked somewhere behind the Armenian genocide and the Rape of Nanking.

 

[Politruk]

Nope.

What are they, then? Lebanese?

 

[ChloeTzang]

Nazis, and fuck them all

It is Likud that now bears a closer resemblance to the NSDAP than Hamas does.

The kindest label would be "Stateless Morons." Nobody, but nobody, wants their asses.

And whose fault is that? Their lives are of more value than yours.
