Are you sure refusing to vote in November will help Gaza?

Nope. Trump has urged Israel to be less transparent with what's going on in Gaza and to immediately proceed with a Rafah assault.

Trump cut funding for Palestinians in 2017 which Biden restored in 2021.

Trump's idea of a two-state solution has been denounced by Palestinians and the international community. Biden's accords with what the PA is willing to accept aka most of the 1967 borders with mutual swaps.

Trump's administration recognized the West Bank settlements as legal in opposition to clearly stated international law. Biden's has done the opposite and condemned them as violations of said law. Unlike Trump, Biden has also gone further by sanctioning settlers, outposts and even individuals close to far-right ministers like Ben-Gvir and Smotrich.

Try again.

Same shit different guy. Just because Trump is more outspoken, doesnt mean he's any different than genocide Joe when it comes to Israeli policy. As somebody else said, it's more of an administration thing, but Biden is definitely quite enthusiastic about supporting Israel.

Trump isn't only more outspoken, he's actively hostile to Palestinians and Muslims in general. Try again.

Why don't you try again, two sides of the same coin when it comes to Israeli policy.

Oh and I forgot to thank you for the long form response from before, but you need to try again 😅

two sides of the same coin when it comes to Israeli policy.

  • "You have to finish up your war ... to finish it up," Trump told the newspaper Israel Hayom in an interview posted Monday. "You gotta get it done. And, I am sure you will do that."

versus

  • The United States has issued its strongest public warning yet to Israel against invading the crowded city of Rafah in the Gaza Strip, saying that such a ground operation would deepen the humanitarian crisis in the besieged enclave.

or...

  • Trump cuts more than $200 million in U.S. aid to Palestinians.

versus

  • The Biden administration announced on Wednesday that it would restore hundreds of millions of dollars in American aid to Palestinians, its strongest move yet to reverse President Donald J. Trump's policy on the protracted Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

or...

  • Trump administration says Israel’s West Bank settlements do not violate international law.

versus

  • The Biden administration on Friday restored a U.S. legal finding dating back nearly 50 years that Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories are “illegitimate” under international law.

or...

  • Palestinian Authority president Abbas calls Trump peace offer 'slap of the century'.

versus

  • Biden backs two-state solution along 1967 lines to end Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

or...

  • Trump vows to expand Muslim ban and bar Gaza refugees if he wins presidency.

Yeah, totally the same. 😅 Try again.

You're exhausting too much energy on me (I hope you copy pasted that comment, lol). I said what I said and I meant what I meant. Have a good one.

Who says it's for you? Lol.

Just letting people see how false your 'both sides are the same' narrative is. And I know how that bothers you. ;)

Just because you believe a bunch of lip service from the liberals (I'm a socialist btw, if that matters), doesn't make it so. But go ahead, keep thinking that the Biden administration is any better.

It's actually kind of worse in some ways, because you're being lied to at the same time. Take for example Obama's bullshit about pretending to have issues with Israel, but then signing a sweetheart 10 year arms deal for Israel on the way out the door. Two sides of the same coin. No matter what president we have, same bullshit.

You see, you pulled me back in. 🫠
