“Over the past 16 months, the Biden-Harris administration’s full, unobstructed support for Israel’s campaign of genocide and ethnic cleansing has failed to remove the Palestinians of Gaza from their land,” Hudhayfah Ahmad, a spokesperson for the Muslim-American led Abandon Harris campaign, said in a statement to Newsweek.
“It is not Trump—just as it was not Biden or Harris—who decides what the Palestinians can or cannot do; that decision belongs solely to the people of Palestine.”
What? If it’s not Trump, nor Biden, nor Harris who decides, why was only Harris punished for it?
Faceless people complain about leopards. News at '11.

So what credentials does this American person think he has about saying anything about Palestine? Does he think he’s part of a race?
Reminder from the comedy world - punch up, not down
Extremely committed to being uncommitted.
Everyone of these dumb fucks can just go shut the fuck up. They are one of the main reasons for the Trump victory. All of them knew Trump would be worse, but they were all too fucking stupid to just go with the least bad option. Kamala was not a good candidate, but she was better than Trump in every facet.
Damn straight. I really didn’t like Kamal, but it was a no brainer to vote for her.

Breathe in, dude. Take the time to unclench your sphincter. I know you’re very mad at the screen right now and I know your heart is hurting, I know you’re very afraid because your favorite genocider lost and now you’re having a taste of your own medecine, but remember, that’s what you wanted for others, so quit whining now.
You made an account just to reply to this comment but you didn’t bother to vote
The vote was down to preservation of democracy or end democracy and start FACISM. Murika voted for fascism.
More than half of the US never votes at all.
If voting were mandatory this would never have been the result.
Saying people deserve to be put in camps because they try to stay sane living paycheck to paycheck is kind of a little bitch take on this whole situation
Democracy died a long, long time ago. The options were preservation of our neoliberal corporate order, or fascism. The status quo died in 2016 and Dems are hodling hard until I’m guessing America is a completely hollow husk of its former self. But at least they played fair!
This attitude will never get people on your side
They were too insignificant to listen to. They’re too insignificant to blame.
Their rhetoric and decision to not vote for the only viable non Trump candidate is plenty reason to blame. They aren’t as bad as people that directly voted for him, but they are the next worst thing and the difference between is borderline indiscernible.
Their rhetoric and decision to not vote for the only viable non Trump candidate is plenty reason to blame.
If democrats can blame them, they were fools to ignore them.
It’s true but they still made the choice they made, and that’s unforgivable. Fuck em, Trump lovers.
It’s true but
…but you want to blame people whose families were getting genocided for not being happy to vote like you ordered them to.
Your party shat the bed. They knew who they had to appeal to in order to win. But since that’s beneath them, they lost.
No, it’s not about them doing what we “ordered” them to. It’s about them doing what would result in the best outcome for themselves.
You say that to people whose families were just murdered with weapons you provided and intend to continue providing.
You then scream that they’re morons for not being as happy as you are about it.
You then wonder why they’re not enthusiastic to vote for that to continue.
Dems don’t have the emotional intelligence to understand that most Americans don’t know which policies will benefit them, most don’t know any policies at all.
They have to put money in people’s bank account and take money from the rich if they want to communicate a good economy instead of telling everyone we are the best while their quality of life rapidly erodes.
When some gangsters ask you which arm you want to get cut, you fight them, you don’t passively pick one. Coward
Come and fuck me daddy. Sorry your favorite genocider lost. I hope he forget about Gaza and start internal repression. How does your own medecine taste like, asshole? Pretty bitter, huh?
What the fuck are you even saying? This is the kind of response I would expect from a Trump loving fascist supporter. Incoherent and hateful.
That’s because you’re a brainwashed idiot. It’s what happen to people living in a fascist country.
Their rhetoric and decision to not vote for the only viable non Trump candidate is plenty reason to blame.
Centrists ignored them on the grounds that they could afford to lose them. You were wrong.
There is nothing centrist about acknowledging the fact that they fucked both themselves and everyone else.
There is nothing centrist about acknowledging the fact that they fucked both themselves and everyone else.
Except blaming people you screamed at for a solid year.
They were and still are idiots. They knew what was at stake and made their decision. They decided to support fascism and Trump and defending that decision is the same the same thing.
They were and still are idiots. They knew what was at stake and made their decision.
I know. And they lost votes because they wouldn’t give up support for genocide. Naturally, since no centrist can ever admit when they’re wrong, they blame the voters they hate.
Removed by mod
You fucked yourself idiot, you’re the one who lost. If all the criminal voters from the “left” weren’t so ready to behave like utter scums and vote for a genocider, the left might have won.
Like in germany the first time, fascists happen because the libs start to act like fascist (today by commiting warcrime), not because the left isn’t right enough. You did this.
I voted against the nazi, did you?
You have to be more precise. Which one?
Hillarious coming from a guy who literally voted for a genocider in the name of pragmatism
And what did you do to try and keep Trump out of office? Pearl clutch and not vote/vote third party? Yea, that was really fucking effective. At least I can sleep knowing my actions were in direct opposition to fascism, even if they weren’t my first choice. You can claim you didn’t support genocide while the candidate you indirectly supported doubles down not only on Gaza, but has also brought the fight to the USA.
You’re american bro fix your retarded country
And now insignificant enough to be forgotten
…until you need someone to scapegoat for the party’s next loss.
https://youtu.be/GcNPymD8wlM?t=51 exactly you
Go fuck yourselves. Almost everyone tried to tell you this was going to end badly.
Protest voters did not meaningfully impact the election
This rhetoric exist to turn poor people against each other
Almost everyone tried to tell the dems that it was going to end badly.
How did it end? Badly.
Good thing everyone can just sit here and blame each other while we all ride the flaming wreckage into the ground now. 🎉
They make a great point. But nobody here read the article.
I read the article, they are not making any points other than a completely empty claim that only Palestinians get to decide.
What they should be doing is profusely apologizing for their catastrophic stupidity while rallying people to try and impeach the orange felon.
Why them? The dems are the ones who lost?
You have ingested propaganda to make you think that protesters are the reason Republicans won the election.
This just didn’t happen
You are being manipulated to hate poor people and young people.
I never said that. They contributed in a significant way. That’s a fact. Their brainless contribution made things significantly worse for America and Palestinians. That’s a fact.
A Western diplomat in Cairo, also speaking anonymously because the discussions have not been made public, confirmed receiving Egypt’s message of its strong opposition through multiple channels. The diplomat said Egypt was very serious and viewed the plan as a threat to its national security.
The diplomat said Egypt rejected similar proposals from the Biden administration and European countries early in the war, which was sparked by Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023 attack into southern Israel. The earlier proposals were broached privately, while Trump announced his plan at a White House press conference alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Ah yes, significantly worse.
Significantly worse because the EU/Biden proposals to help rebuild did NOT include removing all the Palestinians from Gaza before starting rebuilding. It’s like you don’t want to hear how genocidal trump sounds.
Yeah facts speaks for themselves anyway
So if you understand that them “contributing in a significant way” resulted in no difference in voter turnout, then why try to push that false and divisive narrative?
You have to curb your ego before you let it override reality.
Ever wonder why the Gaza protests got constant media coverage but the nation wide trans protests and strikes don’t get any coverage despite having way more participants?
It’s obvious to me, it should be obvious to you.
The media showed you what it wanted you to think, and you internalized it.
Who said it resulted in no difference in voter turnout?
Observable reality
You keep trying misinterpret what I say and you keep failing. The down votes should be a clear indication that most people see right past your bullshit.
Reality is that idiots that pushed against an obviously better choice for president helped elect an orange cunt that now made situation worse for everyone. There’s no arguing against these facts.
This place is mostly americans though, it’s not like these people are smart. I mean, just look at them.
Not for everyone. Palestinians were already oppressed, not much changes for them

“It is not Trump—just as it was not Biden or Harris—who decides what the Palestinians can or cannot do; that decision belongs solely to the people of Palestine.”
Right, so just the completely empty statement I mentioned in my own reply. Meaningless bullshit from people who failed both, America and their heritage because they refused to accept reality.
Imagine believing the people being genocided failed the group responsible for their genocide.
The sheer insanity of your statement will make people reading it in 30 years fall backwards out of their chairs.
Fuck off with the nonsense. I said none of the idiotic shit you’re spewing.
The sheer insanity of not only voting, but actually encouraging others to vote for a person literally promising a carte blanche to a nation currently wiping Palestinians off the face of the planet is a level stupidity unmatched by a typical orange felon voter.
I think we’re about to find out what the “full support” of the US actually looks like
If you start talking about how Trump removed sanctions on 5 settlers I will block you.
I don’t know what opinions you think I have but I certainly do not support Trump. I didn’t hear about the sanctions thing though, can you send a link?
Removed by mod
No; to be clear, that would be very bad. That doesn’t mean it’s not what’s about to happen, though.
I would also like to believe we have some amount of self-determination in America, but 47 and Elmo are making sure that’s not the case.
They were complaining that Biden was doing nothing for the situation.
What did they think Trump was going to do for them?
Yeah Biden was doing nothing to stop the genocide, and their solution was to help the guy promising to speed it up.
Well, he was the “Muslim ban” president, so it couldn’t have been good.
But that ship has sailed. We have a malicious, greedy oligarch in control of the USA now.
People always start taking the status quo for granted eventually. On one hand, Trump might actually end the Palestinian genocide. Just, not in the way they want.
Yeah he’ll get the genocide finished as quickly as possible.
God. Damn these people are so pants shittingly stupid.
They are going to be yelling about how no palestinian can be removed from their land even as they are being tossed onto a plane to El Salvador.
Stupid fuckers. All it’s going to take is one u s soldier getting his boot scuffed, and they’ll round them all up.
Protest voters did not meaningfully impact the election
This rhetoric exist to turn poor people against each other
They’ve been scuffing the boots of IDF soldiers for years and they’re still going
But, hey, I’m sure the US is totally different, look at how easy and cheap it was for us to occupy Iraq /s

Not to mention, Trump is a peacetime president. He’s ending the Ukraine War and the Israel Palestine War
day 1week 1whenever convenientcommitting US troops to Gaza to commandeer the land and redevlop it as a US territory, while also threatening to take over the Panama Canal, Greenland, and to annex Canada, and requesting Zelensky allow Putin to ravage Ukrainian land and likely install puppet govt while prosecuting any Ukrainian loyalists as the Russians see fit.You know. Peaceful things.
Why would trump’s military care about easy or cheap?
Secretary of State Marco Rubio wrote on X: “Gaza MUST BE FREE from Hamas. As @POTUS shared today, the United States stands ready to lead and Make Gaza Beautiful Again. Our pursuit is one of lasting peace in the region for all people.”
Ahmad, the spokesperson for the Abandon Harris campaign and a Palestinian activist, also said: “Despite the entire world being against them, Palestinians have proven that they will be victorious. They are returning to their homes and living among the rubble—people like that cannot be defeated. That is not a matter of opinion; it is a fact.”
The level of cope is just so hard here.
I bet this face must be extra tasty for the leopards.
These leopards are going to get diabetes with how they’ve been eating lately.

I hope what’s happening to the Palestinian people never happens to you, but if it does I hope people don’t treat you the same when you beg for help for your friends and family who have spent their entire lives under occupation and multiple genocides.
Hopefully someone doesn’t have to write a new poem, but it seems like humanity didn’t learn the lesson last time:
I hope I’m not ever stupid enough to pick a Republican that has pushed for Palestinians to be removed from Gaza, that told Israel to do what they had to do to end the war during the election, and talked about harsh punishments for pro-Palestinian protestors into office.
One can be critical about the one side support from the Biden administration, which I absolutely was and still am, yet realize that there are worse people out there and not be so stupid as to let that evil into power.
Enjoy your protest vote, hope it works out for you guys.
How is it worst? Your democrats have tried the exact same trick lmao. Trump is overtly a scum while the libs are just sneaky about it.

Look at the statistics, please. The margins were not “but for Palestinian Americans, Harris would have won”. You can scapegoat Palestinians all the way until it’s time to demand people vote Democrats because they’re holding themselves hostage again, but it’s not going to win them the votes they need to have a chance at winning. And in the meantime, while they’re whining about how raw the deal they got in the election, we’re watching them sit on their hands during Musk’s takeover.
Regardless of who won, the genocide was set to continue.
The only leverage they had to get Biden to stop supporting a genocide was to threaten to withhold votes
When Biden/Kamala refused to listen, some voters held their ground.
Enjoy your protest vote, hope it works out for you guys.
I held my nose and voted D like I always do.
But I understand why others didn’t, and that a candidate who already agrees with their base has a better chance then one who the base disagrees with.
So logically, we need to not keep trying to force a candidate on dem voters who is more conservative then Dem voters.
If you want to yell at people who were chased away from the political process by Biden/Kamala’s policies…
You’re going to have to go find them, they’re politically disengaged, they’re not going to be hanging out in political social media communities.
You’re gonna have to leave the comfort of your couch and do it face to face, go get right up to them and taunt them about the generations of family who have been abused and killed.
I won’t wait to hear back how it went, but I wish you the best of luck.
Oh, those people are absolutely here. I’ve had multiple arguments with them for the past week or so.
They’re trying as hard as they can to justify letting fascism win. I guess it’s so they can sleep at night pretending their protest didn’t condemn millions to suffer and actively make the situation worse for the people they were protesting for.
You just replied to multiple of comments of mine across different threads in the span of minutes…
Is this a coincidence thing or did I block your main account and you just noticed and desperately want to restart an old argument anywhere you can?
I hate to ask, but unfortunately this wouldn’t be the first time.
I guess I just really disagree with your opinions.
Blaming the voters for the absense of an anti-genocide candidate seems really productive. Maybe if we keep re-litigating the election for the next four years the Democrats will run Hillary again. /s
Moderates:
The problem with Republicans is their blind support of trump, they’ll always vote R!
Also moderates, often in the same breath:
The problem with Democrats is they want to hold politicians to a higher standard, instead of blindly voting D!
“Biden/Harris must stop what’s happening in Gaza! The status quo isnt acceptable at all, but at least advocacy and support groups will have the ability to continue lobbying the government under Harris. Under trump they’ll be branded terrorists and deported to remote prisons”
Missed that one.
Blame the voters, for donvict being in office?
Why yes, I think I will. Who else to blame? It’s not like candidates voted themselves into office.
Don’t vote? Don’t complain when things go to shit.
Also, want change? Actually vote in the primaries, donate to a better candidate, volunteer for the better candidate, and fucking vote in the primaries.
Jesus, everyone thinks that MAGA’s control came overnight, this shitshow took most of the 40+years of being on this earth to happen.
I cannot donate as much as bill gates, idiot
According to another comment of yours, your not even American so find another chess board pigeon.
Their campaign to radically remake America has gone back even further than that. The reactionary mindset hates freedom of others and cannot stand being hemmed in even slightly by any kind of debt to society or being decent to others, etc…
So the xtian loons, the white supremacists and the people that give themselves bullshit titles like “job creators” got together on this…
What primaries? The Democrats don’t hold those anymore.
You ought to be blaming the Democrats for pushing another status quo candidate without even running a primary.
The voters aren’t responsible for the uninspiring candidate they were offered, and the Democrats are too busy projecting their failure on their constituents to take responsibility and make changes to prevent it from happening again.
That blame is ongoing. But it wasn’t going to change anything in the fall off 2024. The train already left the station. Given that, when trump was one of the tracks, the only sane option was to avoid it. All other logic is secondary after that.
That’s the problem with treating an election like a moral dilemma, this perspective forces you to take the party itself for granted.
You sat and watched as the Democrats set up a Trolley Problem, but you’re blaming the people they put at the switch rather than they who tied us to the tracks in the first place.
Lil Marco is such a pathetic bootlicking weenie.
Such a hateful comment. It’s not even about American voters. The quote you pull here is about human people living through unimaginable torment and loss and you call it “cope.”
I know, it’s absolutely hateful to say Arab American have to live with the consequences of their actions.
you said cope. about ethnic displacement. like it’s internet beef or something. that’s what’s hateful. cope with me judging you for it.
It’s not a problem too cope with you judging me, it’s very, very easy, barely an inconvenience.
I simply don’t care one whit about what you think about me. You have your opinion, I have mine and opinions are like assholes, we all have one.
And regardless of what our opinions are it won’t change the fact that Arab Americans endorsed Trump, was a key factor in his victory, and he implemented a Muslim man in his first term and one of his first acts was to nominate and appoint cabinet members who have a history of anti-Muslim rhetoric, and just stated he wanted to turn Gaza into a parking lot with resorts and no Palestinians.
May you and I live in the interesting times we voted or sat out of voting for.
And regardless of what our opinions are it won’t change the fact that Arab Americans endorsed Trump,
Ah there you go! You have a problem with some Arab Americans who endorsed Trump. I have a problem with them to!
But some is not all. The quote you cited is from a group who endorsed Jill Stein. If every Stein vote had been alocated to Harris the outcome would have been the same.
Looks like I have helped you successfully make your position less hateful. It turns out you were attacking the wrong group. This is progress. :) Best regards.
who ever thought trump would be better for palestinians is dumb asf. not saying harris would have done a good job since it seems no president will take their side.
Glad to see they’re sticking to their guns. Make sure the libs understand that we’ll do it again if they don’t give in to the demands.
I’m a little more concerned about our loss of democracy and rapid societal decay.
I think some folks just wanted the worst possible outcome for Americans.
How the fuck are the sticking to their guns? They literally changed their name so as to not signal support for the guy that they campaigned for.
Literally the opposite of “sticking to their guns”
They literally changed their name so as to not signal support for the guy that they campaigned for.
???
Which guy did they campaign for?
Ah, OP was referencing a different group of faces being offered up yesterday in conjunction with this.
https://apnews.com/article/arab-americans-trump-gaza-name-peace-479f6777cac7bac52fb098daa0821cb5
They endorsed, campaigned for, and voted for the guy that just said to ethnically cleanse Gaza and had his First Lady give a neo Nazi salute twice at his inauguration.
Man you’re really out of touch with the Arab community here.
Man you’re really out of touch with the Arab community here.
That was one organization, and does not in any way reflect the way the community actually voted. I know you’re chomping at the bit to find a reason to laugh at them and celebrate their deaths because of your sickness, but that doesn’t mean you get to hunt down one fringe group and hold them as representative of the whole Arab population.
Arab Americans are not immune to the same idiotic brainworms that infect you and most other Americans, which say if one side is evil then the other side must be good. It is only natural that some people would turn to Trump while witnessing the unequivocal evil committed by the Biden administration. Most of them were smart enough to realize that both are unequivocally evil, much smarter than most Americans are about it. Of course, this is difficult to accept due to propaganda and due to the desperate conclusions you arrive at by acknowledging reality. It is only natural that some turned to the side that wasn’t actively in the process of committing genocide, regardless of how irrational it was.
20% voted for the blue leopard and 20% voted for the red leopard, but the majority voted for the wise, rational, and correct option and voted third party. Sorry if if that makes it harder for you to get off.
Go right ahead, not like there will be much to fight over after Trump turns Gaza into a Israeli resort town.
I’m rooting for you!

Your “democrats” pulled the exact same trick a year ago. If trump can turns gaza into a resort town in the first place, its because everything there is destroyed already. By your favorite genocider, no less.
Scumbag
Wow, you’re just so over the place so I’m just going to respond here.
While I’ll give this ananomous source the benefit of the doubt, yeah I’m soooo sure Biden and the other European leaders’ context, motivation, and plan was the exact same as Trump here and was all about permanently relocating the Palestinians making Mar-a-lago II electric boogaloo and give the land to Israel.
Just sit back and enjoy your publicly announced ethnic cleansing then! Both sides! Enjoy your choice of genocider, hope he and his party is everything you hoped they would be!

I am not american and thus didn’t chose a genocider, retard. Fix your nazi country you stupid cunt
Wow, really?
That’s the classic dishonesty from a person who was unfortunate enough to be born in a colony. Let’s be honest, being genocide-minded is inherent to anybody being born in America. It’s how you guys got your country after all. All you can do is hide behind sarcasm and gaslight people into forgetting your country offered you two genociders to pick from and you picked one like a coward.
Look I’m not blaming you, plenty of people blamed communists when hitler took power.
Look at your being all kinds of bigoted that you accuse others of. You really are no better than the trump you supported.
I’m at peace with my vote, I can see the nuance and differences between the two choices given, even if they’re both shit. You just keep believing that both sides are the exact same, keep your protest vote, do nothing, I’m sure things will get better doing that.
Good luck to you and enjoy the results of your pushing for inaction.
The area was levelled under Biden. There would be zero restraint either way. The limiting factors are the groups actually fighting against the genocidal American Empire and its pet rabid dog.
You keep thinking that, good luck and enjoy watching what will unfold.
enjoy watching what will unfold.
You people are truly sick.
You make choices, you live with the consequences. It’s as simple as that.
You agree that Trump is the lesser of two evils then there’s nothing to say at this point but you must live with the consequences of those actions.
That’s life, that’s reality, that’s consequences.
So you agree they’re both evil?
What a nice little rationalization you have for not regarding them as human.
Has there ever been a people more arrogant than your kind? When you look through the past, you see all these cases of genocide, not one of them justified, and you think, “Ah, but they were all stupid. I’m so smart that when I support it, it’s the only rational, objectively correct decision.” It doesn’t even give you a moment of pause. You don’t even have the decency to speak about it with the gravity it deserves. You gleefully watch people die because it gives you the satisfaction of believing in your own rightness and superiority over the fools who actually give a damn. Meanwhile, you are so shortsighted and unimaginative that you think the laws imposed by our mortal rulers are as rigid and unchangable as natural law.
Honestly, the more I talk to people like you, the more I understand religious people. Much as I dislike religion, if it provides immunization against your way of thinking, perhaps it’s worth it! Is there any way of thinking that’s worse than yours?
What a utterly stupid comment.
The fact that you have so little understanding that people can hold more than one opinion and rationale and seriously think that simple pointing out that Arab Americans that endorsed Trump must now live with the consequences and conflating that with that must mean holding that opinion means you’re jumping for joy that Trump is advocating for the displacement of Palestinians from Gaza.
May you love in the interesting times your brought upon us all.
You’re the one enabling nazis bro. Wake the fuck up
I least I’m not actively voting for them like y’all are.
Muslims were a key swing vote in key swing states like Michigan and Wisconsin.
More importantly, the dems might have actually won if they had taken this opportunity to show that they were capable of listening to and learning from their constituents.
Trump demonstrated that he could grow and adapt from his previous term while the dems insisted on dictating terms and asserting that everything was fine without room for criticism or growth.
Improve and grow.
Listen and adapt.
Do better.
This is proven by the data. Every poll on the subject reflected the sentiment that, had Harris split from Biden on Israel-Gaza, more would vote Harris. This was known before the election. This data was ignored. People were screaming for their rights up to the last second. Many (not all) still voted Harris. And now they are getting screamed down for still having the gall to express their anger at humans being treated as animals. It feels hopeless. The white moderate liberal has no shame or empathy.
Thank you for commenting, friend.
All of the talk of civil rights being America’s priority has fallen short in the face of our economic priorities and our proclivity to agitate for war.
We have designed a society where empathy is scarce. A society overworked and without the bandwidth for most to process how their actions impact people on the other side of the globe.
Sometimes you’ve gotta skip out on the bullshit to live life and learn for yourself. All of these increases in productivity, and yet we have less and less time to be human and stitch together our society.
If the Palestinian vote was enough to sway the election, then the amount of Jewish people who would have done the same if any presidential candidate came out in strong support of Palestine, has to be at least an order of magnitude higher.
I am not equating the two positions, I am simply talking about campaign strategy.
I don’t think you understand the stranglehold that the Israel lobby has on US politics.
Jewish people do not default to Israel’s side.
Never said they did.
Not trying to be rude, but y’all are dumb.
If the Palestinian vote was enough to sway the election, then the amount of Jewish people who would have done the same if any presidential candidate came out in strong support of Palestine,
Yes you did. Why do you assume jews are pro-genocide? Wouldn’t that be antisemitic?
I think you think Jewish people are all pro-Israel which is ignorant at best. Bigotry at worst.
Again the data proved this. These were polls of voters in general, not pro-Palestinians. American Jews were absolutely represented by the polls.
I think you think Jewish people are all pro-Israel which is ignorant at best. Bigotry at worst.
Oh look another straw man. Like it’s their only move… No, I do not think that. I don’t believe I’ve said anything to imply that I do.
But I do know how much money and power that lobby throws around, and I’ve seen it destroy political careers overnight. The ADL would have tanked Harris’ campaign had she come out in support of Palestine prior to Election Day. Like I don’t think you people understand just how complex the political calculus here is… And you can sit on your high horse and say, “people shouldn’t be doing political calculus when genocide is ongoing,” and that’s certainly a solid point, but the reality is that they do and that they have to if they want to have a chance of winning.
In fact, a day or two before Election Day, she seemed to have signaled that she would be tougher on Israel, but it was too little, too late. I suspect she waited until the last moment so as to not give the Israel lobby enough time to kill her campaign.
I believe that Harris would have listened to Palestinian voices had she won (rather than putting them in camps)

There’d be a chance of stopping things. But now trump is drawing up condo plans
And suddenly every democrats have strong feelings about palestine lmao
Democrats only care about non-whites if they aren’t the president. Otherwise it’s time to lock them in cages and violate federal laws to kill them. 💅
