Summary
Israeli settlers in the West Bank, emboldened by Trump’s return and a far-right Israeli government, are pushing for formal sovereignty over the territory.
Settlement activity has surged to record levels under Prime Minister Netanyahu, with nearly 6,000 acres designated as state land in 2024 and dozens of new outposts established.
While settlers see this as fulfilling Biblical claims, Palestinians view it as erasing hopes for a future state.
Critics warn annexation could jeopardize regional stability and U.S.-brokered normalization efforts, such as those with Saudi Arabia.
It’s a two party system. It was going to be either Harris or Trump. That’s just a hard fact. You didn’t want Harris. There was only one other outcome. So you got your wish.
And voters keep it a two-party system. And it’ll never get better if people don’t start holding their politicians accountable, which means that if they don’t work for the benefit of the worldwide public they don’t get reelected.
Yes they do. And because of that, the choices were Harris or Trump. There was no imaginary third option in 2024.
Again, you didn’t want Harris, so you got your wish.
You are struggling so hard to understand it’s not a specific person I didn’t want, it’s an ideology I don’t want.
But if you wanted a replacement for right wing authoritarianism posing as progressive she would have been the perfect person for you.
Specific people become president, not ideologies. You don’t vote for ideologies, you vote for people.
Like I said, you got what you wanted and you’re complaining about it.
The VBNMW crowd says different
I’m not complaining, the job is only half done
Okay, I’m not part of whatever crowd you’re talking about so I’m not sure why you’re telling me that.
The reality in the world where we live is that there were only two people who had a chance of being president in January- Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
You clearly didn’t want Harris. She lost. You got what you wanted.
Democrats and Republicans in general vote for whoever is on their ticket, regardless of their past, Harris and Trump are prime examples. So yes, people mostly vote on ideology, not people.
Yet again-
The reality in the world where we live is that there were only two people who had a chance of being president in January- Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
You clearly didn’t want Harris. She lost. You got what you wanted.
