The Times of Israel reported that Netanyahu felt pressured into the ceasefire deal because of uncertainty about how the next administration would handle the conflict, and that the new Middle East envoy accomplished more in one sit-down meeting with him than the Biden administration did in a year. Take that with a grain of salt, since it is TTOA TTOI, but, maybe?
Still taking that grain of salt, but it would explain why Netanyahu suddenly gave up his land grab project when strategically speaking Israel had nothing to lose by continuing the war.
Doing it while they are actively commiting a genocide is tantamount to a war crime. No one should care about technicalities in a situation like war. These are real people, children, losing their lives.
The people of Gaza don’t care as they’re too busy being genocided by the “good” guys. The people of the West bank will probably be inconvenienced in a few years but they have better things to worry about. That’s how much difference there is between Trump and Biden (and hence Harris) on Palestine
We’ve spent a year and a half telling the democrats “genocide is unpopular, stop it if you want to win”, and the only response was “shut up, antisemite”, and now it’s “I hope you’re happy”.
The people at fault for the democrats loss are the democrats, not the people telling them to stop facilitating genocide.
At the same time: I have a whole fucking lot of schadenfreude towards the comically idiotic Arab-American voters - particularly the ones in Michigan - who voted for Trump, and are now wringing their hands because they finally did some apres-vote investigation into Trump. Dude banned foreign Muslims from entering the country last time. Did any of those dipshits genuinely think he was gonna mellow out this time around?
Edit: to be clear, I’m not talking about the Michigan Arab-Americans who didn’t vote for a presidential candidate. I’m talking SPECIFICALLY about the ones who voted for Trump.
I’m sure they’re super thankful that the us voted trump back into office…
…right?

Trump cannot do worse to Gaza , literally.
And just because a monster won, does not clear crimes done by others. Blinken should be held accountable, ideally charged with war crimes.
But Trump will kill more Americans than victims already in Gaza. He already has
Arming another country is not a war crime, no matter how evil that other country is.

So they are happy?
I guess shrugs
Fair point.

They knew. But if they didn’t withhold their votes then democrats know that they don’t have to respect them as a bloc
And in the end, self-respect is more important than doing what Gazans want.
Shadenfreude isn’t what I would say I feel towards them. Its not the same as when white people vote for trump because of the “economy”
