If you genuinely don't think a Trump Presidency could make the situation any worse, you have no right to talk over anyone who's actually been paying the miniscule-est amount of attention it would take to know better.

Signed, a Palestinian American.

Fuck your privileged ass trying to justify letting us burn.

Try me. How does it get worse than famine, constant bombings, plague, and now polio.

Ignoring what's happening now doesn't help anything.

America joining in because Trump doesn't think the jews are finishing the job fast enough?

West Bank being fully annexed and the 200,000 Palestinians who've been able to hold on thus far being deported to Gaza for more bombings or to Jordan where the royal family was already selling them out even before a civil war broke out over it leading to the king's assassination?

Trump intentionally provoking war in the entire region because his followers are part of a fucking death cult and think it'll cause the biblical battle of Armageddon and make their sky daddy come home?

Evangelicals convincing Trump to begin a program to settle christians in the region to refound the crusader kingdom of Jerusalem?

Have you fucking read any of Project 2025, use your damn imagination and odds are they've already come up with even worse and adopted it as official platform policy.

Get off your soapbox and prevent the greater harm, or quit pretending you have any business calling yourself an ally while being a whiny wilted little cunt ass about how it's everyone else's job to make you want to for your own feel goods.

you don't have to ignore what's happening now to imagine many ways it could get worse.

ever heard of things like concentration camps and mass executions?

How would you describe them being moved into specific areas, bombed and starved?

"Multiple released Palestinian detainees have testified they and others, including children, were subjected to rape, gang-rape, other forms of sexual violence as well as psychological and physical torture by both male and female Israeli soldiers and medical staff."

"In one highly publicized incident, leaked CCTV footage showed Israeli soldiers gang raping a Palestinian detainee with a metal rod that caused him serious injuries to his anus and lungs."

Simple. It's as bad as it is now despite Biden's administration delaying arms, prohibiting aid being sent to illegal settlers, and constantly pushing for a peace deal. A Trump administration wouldn't bother with any of that.

Imagine how bad it would be with Trump patting Netanyahu on the back the whole time, shovelling arms over there as fast as the grift would allow, and subsidizing the settlements (now not illegal if the UN knows what is good for it). Precision munitions? Why bother when you could just carpet MOABs the whole district?

See now how it will be worse?
