Summary

Rightwing Israeli settlers and nationalist Zionists are praising Donald Trump’s incoming administration, describing it as a “dream team” for advancing settlement expansion and undermining the possibility of a Palestinian state.

Trump’s appointments, including Mike Huckabee and Pete Hegseth, openly support Israeli occupation and oppose a two-state solution.

Palestinian groups and leftwing NGOs warn these developments embolden policies like home demolitions in East Jerusalem and the West Bank, as well as expanded settlement construction.

Activists liken Trump’s policies to a biblical realignment favoring Israel’s territorial claims, exceeding even his first-term pro-Israel actions.

      When both parties enthusiastically support a war of genocide, it’s fair to say they’re the same, yes.

        And that’s how you’ll be justifying it for the next 4 years. Awesome job. I sure hope Kamala learned her lesson.

          Obviously not. Remember when significant percentages of people in the primaries voted ‘unaffiliated’ or ‘undecided’ with the express purpose of communicating to the administration that they wanted the weapons shipments to stop?

          Biden/Harris ignored them.

          It’s one thing to refuse to change policy. It’s another to refuse to change policy, support the bombing of kids, AND tell the voters to go fuck themselves.

      They’re the same as long as this war continues. Trump is worse in “peace” time, but it doesn’t seem we’re getting that any time soon.

        he’s emboldening world leaders enacting genocide. netenyahu has already expressed plans to accelerate the genocides he’s enacting. zelenskyy, long a leader saying Ukraine would never give up any territory is planning to enter diplomatic peace talks and loss of territory will almost certainly be part of that.

        your ignorance is embarrassing to observe. literally every cabinet pick so far has been a hardcore pro-israel or pro-russia pick.

          So first I never said anything about Ukraine. Second,

          netenyahu has already expressed plans to accelerate the genocides he’s enacting.

          He’s been accelerating it for a while, what with the ethnic cleansing of North Gaza and all that. We’re seeing the next stage in a genocide that was accelerating anyway.

          your ignorance is embarrassing to observe. literally every cabinet pick so far has been a hardcore pro-israel or pro-russia pick.

          I said nothing about Russia so I’ll just ignore that part, but pro-Israel? What is he going to do that Blinken and Biden didn’t?
