Summary
Palestinians in the West Bank are largely pessimistic about Donald Trump’s re-election, viewing it as unlikely to significantly worsen their already dire situation, though some fear it could embolden Israeli actions.
Trump’s support for Israel’s far-right policies, including the potential dismantling of the UN agency Unrwa and backing of Israeli settlements, could deepen economic hardship and escalate violence against Palestinians.
While some Palestinians worry about increased oppression, others see a Trump presidency as a chance to expose brutal realities, possibly sparking stronger resistance.
WE ALL OPPOSED THE FUCKING GENOCIDE.
That doesn’t mean we wanted to invite in ADDITIONAL GENOCIDES IN THE U.S.
Jesus Christ, I am so tired of seeing people make excuses for not voting to stop someone who you have been given warning sign after warning sign about because you don’t like Kamala Harris.
It also means that we didn’t want to make the one genocide they’re always on about even worse.
Seriously. “Harris is supporting genocide by being part of an administration selling weapons to Israel, so I’ll let the guy who told Netanyahu to finish the job on national TV win.” What the fuck?
I actually had someone tell me a month or so back that genocide is as bad as it gets and you can’t make it worse once it’s genocide.
These people will lie to themselves about anything rather than take some fucking responsibility.
They also wholly disregard that:
This was a very common argument I saw. Unfortunately, I think there are people who bought it. It’s so ahistorical, and nobody seems to know anything about the conditions in Germany pre-WW2 (or probably most of the atrocities that the Nazis committed).
There are levels to this shit, it’s not just an on/off switch.

Oh this is exactly what I expected. It doesn’t make me any less angry about it.
Yeah: you don’t like personally Harris? Too bad you’d rather have a fascist government
