      Right!? I’ve been so confused by the notion of Trump being the anti-Israel vote. That’s not what I heard him say.

        I had someone arguing at me here, with the supreme confidence of the ignorant, that trump and Harris would be the same for Palestineans.

          I I genuinely wonder what would change? What’s worse than denying and backing the genocide with weapons, soldiers and money under Biden? What worse could Trump do?

            The West Bank, where roughly half of Palestineans live was more or less left alone as one of yhr administrations red lines (also, Iran’s oil/nuclear facilities.)

            With trump incoming, it seems Israel feels they have a green light to expand in the West Bank.

                »» They even bombed Bethlehem on Christmas.

                WOW! While I am not surprised, I cannot believe that anyone calling themselves a Christian can still throw their support behind that wretched state.

                  When I mentioned that to one of my republican family, they simply refused to believe it and blamed Hamas.

              Israel have been aggressively expanding in the West Bank since October 7, and intensified their campaign at around the same time they started the war with Lebanon. There are no red lines.

                What new settlements happened thete in the last year? You are conflating an increase in tensions and conflict with expansion.

                    From the article:

                    In the past year, about 4,555 Palestinians have been displaced in the West Bank after Israeli forces demolished their homes.

                    Now, I’m no mathematician but surely you understand that’s orders of magnitude fewer than have been displaced in Gaza, right? Please?
