You are downplaying what is happening. Trump both does NOT care about Palestinians and advocates for uprooting them outright. That does not help them.
We want leadership here in the USA that will end support of Israel in this regard. The minority party is not going to be able to do it. You speak with an ideal
but not the real. Biden failed to use the tools he had to back Bibi down...and he lost. Kamala was supportive of his policies AND worse if she had a difference in philosophy on Gaza (she supported a two state solution) she was downplaying it and leaning into "We have to stop Trump." She lost.
Alright so now we have America about to isolate itself economically, have costs go way up, and first amendment is going to the shytter. "Not ideal" is a childish interpretation when you see the President who idolizes Viktor Orban and Kim Jong Un. You are also chiding me when I am telling you what is broadly about to happen: people won't give a shyt about this issue when they can't find food, a lot of medicines, and inflation runs rampant while there are job losses. Do you disagree?
This is a disingenuous ass take which is exactly why this issue will fall to the wayside.
AOC has been vocal about pulling support even when Biden was in office. SHE IS AN ALLY TO PALESTINIANS. You know who are not? The people in the majority. If in 2025 you consider yourself politically savvy and you don't know where AOC stands on this, you are disingenuous at best and a political opp at worst. I specifically mentioned them running up and chiding allies are going to be met with negative responses in the near future because while America is being looted, a lot of cats are downplaying that in favor of a nation that has been under Israel's heel for decades. THAT needs to stop, but we have to have politicians who want to stop it:
- Trump can issue EOs to redirect aid as he has done with every fukking thing else.
- Congress can pass laws to restrict Israel from receiving any aid.
- Diplomatic pressure is a tool as well but USA is fukking up it's allyship.
Long story short, pro-Palestinian folks are getting on the asses of people already sympathetic to the cause when they are not in a position to fix this. AND the current administration has twisted anti-semitism to be the same thing as pro-palestinian (Mahmoud Khalil and others) while stripping visas for supporting Palestinians. If you are going to be intellectually dishonest about what is going on right now, don't come in here with this fake high-minded take like just promising "yes, I will cease funding" when one person, two people, 5 people alone can NOT do that.
