An additional executive order meant to “protect the United States from foreign terrorists and other national security and public threats” is undeniably meant to apply to pro-Palestinian protesters across America, particularly on college campuses.

    the genocide is (for now) over

    “for now” is really doing some heavy lifting there

    Netanyahu says Israel ‘reserves right to resume war’ and calls first phase a ‘temporary ceasefire’

    but also, even if the ceasefire was permanent, that doesn’t mean the genocide stops.

    if you bomb a bunch of hospitals, and then agree to a ceasefire, the hospitals don’t magically come back into existence.

    ditto water treatment plants and similar infrastructure. Diseases spread in Gaza as sewage contaminates camps and coast

    a ceasefire means that the “dropped a bomb on a refugee camp” aspect of the genocide stops. the “there’s a refugee camp with a never-ending stream of needless and preventable deaths” aspect of the genocide will continue unabated.

      I mean yes, but what is Trump going to do to exacerbate that that Biden wasn’t and Harris wasn’t going to? America was simply never going to become a source of positive change in this conflict, so if anything Trump’s isolationist tendencies work in Palestinians’ favor, and otherwise he’s neutral compared to Biden/Harris.

        I don’t even know where to begin peeling the onion of how incredibly stupid this statement is.

          Okay I’ll bite: What did Trump do in his first term that had a material negative impact on Palestine that wasn’t just regular US foreign policy?
