    You casts your vote, you takes your choice. And you takes the consequences of your utterly braindead choice.

    I can’t figure out how the fuck any Muslim even barely knowledgeable of trump doesn’t know that as a republican, his whole platform is built on the backs of Israel-worshipping US Christians. They, like many other groups, may as well be lambs voting for the wolf.

          The Harris/Biden comparison was more valid, although we can’t be sure she would stay that path once in office and with pressure from Congress and public. But at least there was a chance of both of those. Anyone who thought Trump wouldn’t ramp things up or would listen to calls for change…I don’t know what they were thinking. He’s never done that, never been like that. His history as a businessman and as a President for four years is right there to review.

            The thing is that Harris could be moved by progressives winning primaries and the 2026 midterms at the very least. There is almost no hope of something similar for trump.

            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.

              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.

You and I both know the red line is to not bomb their own Israeli settlers, right? They always had the green light… nothing really changed.

                  If you deny that they’re living under apartheid, the term used by south Africa itself to describe the palestinian situation, then there’s need to discuss any further.

              I mean he is to an extent. Everyone is talking like the fascist project in America is finished, but it’s not and there’s no guarantee they’ll be able to complete it. That said it’s mostly Congress doing the heavy lifting here; there are enough sane Republicans that Trump wouldn’t be able to get away with some of the more outrageous stuff.

            Why do you think Israel announced they were annexing the West Bank right after the election?

              So first, I can’t actually find anything about this except Smotrich pushing for annexation so do you have a source that says they’re going to go forward with annexation? Now second, Smotrich started yapping about annexing West Bank settlements (not the whole West Bank; if Israel did that they’d have to give Palestinians rights) literally a day or two after the election, meaning he already had plans for something similar before then. You don’t just wake up and start taking steps towards annexing an occupied territory that’s not how that works.

                And yes, believe it or not, the Israelis were not the only people on Earth who didn’t know about the election of their largest ally and presumably gameplanned for either a Harris or trump victory.

                The fact Smotrich held back from saying anything until after the election tells you the election mattered in terms of what happens next.

    “Trump won because of us and we’re not happy with his Secretary of State pick and others,” said Rabiul Chowdhury, a Philadelphia investor who chaired the Abandon Harris campaign in Pennsylvania and co-founded Muslims for Trump.

    Nazarko said the community would continue pressing to make its voices heard after rallying votes to help Trump win. “At least we’re on the map.”

    Hate to break it to him, but Team Trump’s plan is for Gaza to be completely off the map.

    Rola Makki, the Lebanese American, Muslim vice chair for outreach of the Michigan Republican Party, shrugged off the criticism. “I don’t think everyone’s going to be happy with every appointment Trump makes, but the outcome is what matters,” she said. “I do know that Trump wants peace, and what people need to realize is that there’s 50,000 dead Palestinians and 3,000 dead Lebanese, and that’s happened during the current administration.”

    And trump will let Netanyahu wipe all the Palestinians off the map and murder even more Lebanese. I hope it’s all worth it to you.

    1.Oh no ! I am totally completely sure Harris wasn’t gonna do the same! If only she won ! the Palestinian genocide that was backed and aided under Biden and her would’ve continued as usual, but uhhh… Yeah…

    2.Their face was already being eaten and voting to change who’s eating it was probably more of “fuck you ! Get eaten too fuckers”. If and only if there’s a big number of Muslim voters that instead of simply abstaining from voting decided to vote Trump out of spite, but this lead me to my third point.

    1. TimesofIsrael isn’t the most reliable source to get info about muslims. I would guess you wouldn’t have had read the “Nazi daily” to get info about the jewish population in WW2.

            Because we just had a Biden term and a year of escalation happening, with no actual steps to stop it. Only PR moves like the pier, that was only there for the IDF, not for the aid. Then we had the campaign, with messaging being “we don’t care about Palestine” and nothing else.

            Like, holy shit, you could just as well say “how would you know Trump is going to be bad for Palestine?” and it would be exactly as nonsensical - because we have the pattern of behavior from earlier and the campaigning. Harris embraced Biden’s politics instead of distancing herself from them, it’s that simple.

            Right now Biden is unburdened by a presidential campaign. He could do whatever he wants, or at least try to. He is trying to send as much weapons to Ukraine as possible (which is great don’t get me wrong). He is acting. Yet jack shit is done with Palestine because there is no political will to do anything.

            And all of this because of people who tried to push “go vote for her anyway”. As if we are in some bizzarro world where a party gets people’s votes for not doing what the people want them to do.
